Apartment vacation rentals in Ballito

I had such a wonderful stay here—one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. The apartment is exactly as described (if not better): tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and full of thoughtful touches that really elevate the stay. A bottle of wine and a selection of Nespresso pods were waiting for me on arrival, which was such a lovely welcome after a long journey. The location is peaceful and quiet, with a beautiful sea view that you can enjoy right from the upstairs lounge It felt like the perfect retreat, yet it’s still just a short drive to shops, restaurants and the beach is opposite! The hosts were brilliant—friendly, responsive, and clearly take great pride in making guests feel at home. Everything has been done to a really high standard, from the linens to the kitchen equipment to the little design details. It’s the kind of place where you instantly relax and know you’re in good hands. I’d come back in a heartbeat.

Carmen's place is very spacious, squeaky, clean, and peaceful. The view is breathtaking, the surroundings is very safe and walkable. She has an airfryer, which was a cherry on top for me even though I didn't use it cause we ate out. I'll definitely book again.

Fezeka’s place was great. It looked like the pictures. It was very clean.Everything worked. It was very peaceful. We would go back.

Hampton’s Collection place met all my expectations! The apartment was immaculately clean, stylishly decorated, and perfectly located for exploring Durban. The communication with Keshav was seamless. The little touches, such as personalised welcome note, made me feel truly welcome. I highly recommend Keshav’s place to anyone looking for a fantastic Airbnb experience in Durban. I can't wait to come back!

I really enjoyed the peaceful area, the place was so cute and intimate for us. loved, loved it and clean..

Stacey's place is airy and quite pleasant, with the wide-open view of the ocean! The kitchen was also particularly well equipped, both in terms of hard equipment and usable items (paper towels, coffee and washing soap). The braai stand was also special - allowed us to enjoy a good braai facing the ocean!

Great stay!! It was our first time in Durban and most shops and locations were around the apartment which was very convenient! Not to mention the host so attentive and friendly! The apartment looked exactly like the photos! No complaints overall it is a great apartment to stay in:)

I found a home in Durban... since we were busy with my nephew's and nieces university residents... she gave us one free night .. please book and you will not regret.... Her communication skills are top tier and very understanding.. thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What an amazing getaway - absolutely stunning views, walking distance from the beach and near amazing restaurants and shops. We had our toddler and our senior dog with us, and both of them enjoyed it thoroughly. Felt like home away from home. Will definitely be going back 😀 thank you Margriet for being such an amazing host.

Really enjoyed our stay, felt like home away from home. Will definitely go back, Phillip was very accommodating. 10/10 for service and overall living experience.

Nasreen was such a fantastic host who always kept in contact when needed, was so thoughtful with small touches and sorted out an issue we had immediately. The place was great and the location was amazing. Thank you, We will definitely be back.

Super satisfied with everything.

Amazing place, private, quiet, good WiFi connectivity making it easy to work after hours. Very friendly hosts, clean place, very spacious. Felt at home away from home.

Lovely setting and very friendly hosts. Loved the spacious bathroom as well.

This is the second time we stayed at Dawn’s place. We want space and views and creature comforts. Greedy, yes. Sometimes you can get your cake and eat it. I’ll get up early, around 6am. Get my feet on the dewy grass, grounded. I look out over the ocean. It’s seems deep and dangerous. So far away from the hustle back in Jozi. I come up with all sorts of plans for the day, that never materialise. Eish. Around 6:30am a bus edges through the visible forest just over the hedge. People just going to work. Then the ants start to bite my feet and head back inside. Coffee.

The place is as advertised. While it could be cleaner, it's not too bad. The furniture is in good condition, which adds to the comfort. The smart TVs are a nice addition, but unfortunately, none of the apps (DSTV, Netflix, Showmax) were working. Access and entry procedures are simple and straightforward. The host’s communication was excellent—responsive and helpful throughout the stay. Checkout can be a bit challenging for a family with kids, but it's understandable. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely go back.

Amazing sea view apartment, well equipped and ideally located! highly recommended!

Great place to stay right by the beach with easy access. Loved the view and entire family loved that you could just take a short walk to the beach...

Lovely apartment overlooking a good beach where you can safely swim, nice pool area, secure building. Easy walk to both the nature reserve one way and the busy village area the other. Lots of food options. We enjoyed our stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Avikar’s place. The view from the apartment was amazing, the apartment was located in a peaceful area and the place was within walking distance to restaurants and Ushaka Marine World. I’d stay at Avikar’s place again when next in Durban.

I had a great stay at 15 @ Sea Lodge. The place was perfect for a family trip and everything was like what was described in the pictures and listing. Check in was simple and convenient with the building staff. When we got to the room everything was perfect, the place was clean and it was a great gesture to get snacks and water prepared for us. Enjoyed my stay with the family until checkout. I would definitely stay here again the next time I am at Umhlanga.

We had a lovely stay over the festive season. Great location and all necessary amenities. The jacuzzi and outside area were a massive plus and lovely to be able to walk into the village and to the beach.
