The Beach house on Tiffany bay - newly revamped.
The house was lovely, and Heather was a great host. We felt very welcome and comfortable. The complimentary wine was great! Thank you!

The Ultimate Beach Front Home - 25 Sovereign Sands
A beautiful, spacious beach home with gorgeous views and an unspoilt beach. Right on the beach & with easy access to the beach. Secure complex. We’ll definitely be back!

The Villas No.4 (Direct Beach Access)
The house has amazing ocean views and the sound of the waves was a beautiful background to our stay. A few steps from the beach, we had a wonderful time.

6 Crayfish, Salt Rock, Dolphin Coast
The place was well-equipped, clean, neat, and conveniently close to the beach. The hosts were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely book with them again.

NOMAX BEACH HOUSE. Ballito/Chakas Rock-beachfront
What can I say except WOW! Started off the day watching the sun rise over the ocean while enjoys a wonderful cup of tea on the two chairs dedicated to Nono and Maxime. We could then walk down to Thompson Bay beach directly from the garden. When a day in the waves was over, a short walk up the steps to the outdoor shower by the pool for a quick dip then a quick braai on the amazing stainless steel braai by the pool. To end it all, going to sleep with the doors open listening to the waves crashing all night! And in the morning, Elizabeth was there to sort out our messy dishes and Russel washed off all the kids beach toys…. I can’t recommend the place enough and hope to be back next year. Thank you Denise and team, truly amazing trip xx

Beautiful beach cottage in Salt Rock
Douglas our host is fabulous, always a message away alongside Thulani our caretaker who lives on site while maintaining privacy for us guests. The facilities are more than perfect for us three adults and we slept like babies. Book the house and you will be blown away. Thank you for having us, we will come back again.

Incredible Beach House Sanctuary near Ballito!
Thank you Chad for a great stay ! The location of your home is perfect and the views from the house overlooking the sea and lagoon are spectacular. It was very peaceful sitting on the deck watching the sunsets. The kitchen was well equipped but lacking a dishwasher. Overall a great experience !

"Endless Summer" Tropical Beach Villa in Umdloti
Our stay was next level. From check-in to check-out, everything was on point. This is a real gem. Corrine's communication was so good; she went the extra mile to make our stay even more special. Can't find fault with anything. We will be back!

Wonder by the Sea
Exactly what we wanted, somewhere to stay that was near the beach, affordable, clean and comfortable. This was better than our expectation. On arrival we were welcomed by the host Liesl who was extremly friendly and warm and made us feel very welcome. The place was super clean, the bed was so comfortable and everything was juts perfect. The host thought of everything from a beach bag we could use to an umbrella if it rained and we were even welcomed with tea, coffee and rusks. We highly recommend this place to stay as its nothing less than amazing and your stay will be perfect, right on the beach and tranquil. A perfect holiday stay.

Calvin’s place offers sea views that are truly out of this world — waking up to that breathtaking sight was a daily gift. The cleanliness of the home is absolutely commendable; everything was spotless and well cared for. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like a comforting retreat, the perfect spot to relax and recharge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Jack’s place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning views.

Great location for a family. Private and quiet, yet an easy walk to beach and restaurants. Sandra the housekeeper was amazing!

Modern, bright condo right on the beach.
What a beautiful spot! From the moment you arrive you feel as though you can exhale. Stunning place, beautiful furniture linen and every amenity. Special touches like great coffee, milk in the fridge and just all round welcoming space. Oh but the views of the ocean!! Wow! Literally a few steps away with direct beach access and access to the promenade with its host of beautiful restaurants and close proximity to shopping etc. You can’t get better value for money in such a beautiful space and location than this spot in Umhlanga! Oh and the host was the cherry on top. Warm, helpful, responsive. I will be booking again! That’s for sure. 🔥🔥🔥

Penthouse Apt With Amazing Sea View
We had an amazing stay at this gem on the Dolphin Coast! The apartment is beautiful and perfectly located—just steps from the beach and tidal pool. The sea views are breathtaking, and we loved spending time on the verandah overlooking Chakas Rock. It’s ideal for a couple or small family, with everything you need for a relaxing, self-catering holiday. The complex is safe and quiet, with restaurants just around the corner. Highly recommended for a coastal getaway!

The best spot in Umdloti.
I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this incredible Airbnb and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by every bedroom’s stunning sea views, impeccable cleanliness with thoughtful touches like blackout shutters and fully equipped kitchen where we carb-loaded like champions. When I shared our comrades marathon story/journey with the host, she was very supportive of our initiative and shared a messages of support. Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway or running the Comrades and need a serene, well equipped base camp, this place offers the perfect setting. I can't recommend it enough and can't wait to return!

Relaxing Apartment Direct promenade & beach access
Bruce was a great host-answering within a short period. Didn't realize it was serviced Mon-Sat-this was a nice surprise. Easy to collect and drop off the keys-simple detailed instructions. Laundry in the complex. Great location on the promenade (away from the bustle of the village) and close to the Umhlanga Lagoon Nature reserve with a coffee shop-worth a visit. Great stay.

Cybo @ 701 The Quays
My kids and i stayed at Nomcebo's place for 3 nights. We wanted to be close to amenities and entertainment without having to uber back and forth. Nomcebo's place checked alll boxes for us. Her place is walking distance from Ushaka Marine World and great restaurants. A bonus is that Checkers 60 minutes deliver quick and easy. My kids loved every minute of our stay. I recommend Nomcebo's place 100%, we will definitely return.

Maison Martinique, seaside condo
Jean was a fantastic host—friendly and easy to communicate with and definitely went the extra mile for us. The unit was spotless, really comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The views were absolutely stunning, and the space was thoughtfully set up with nice little touches throughout. We enjoyed the small trail in the complex and loved being able to walk to Thompson’s Bay Beach. We’d definitely love to come back!
