"Endless Summer" Tropical Beach Villa in Umdloti
The house was perfect for a family holiday, we felt very at home there. Lovely rooms, clean good quality linen, with a great little pool. Best part was the close proximity to the stunning beach. The hostess was so helpful and understanding. I made a mixup with my booking and she was considerate and helpful and handled our late booking out with professional attitude. Thank you so much Corrine and so sorry again for the mixup on my behalf. The monkeys were a real pest, we had to keep the doors and windows closed all the time, they are so cheeky. The shutters on the windows and doors were fantastic as you could open the windows and keep the shutters closed to get fresh are but keep the monkeys out. We had a wonderful family holiday, we would book this house again. Thank you so much.

Luxury 3 Bed Villa in Setai Beach estate (8)
Great spot to be if you want to experience Zimbali has to offer. A proper inverter system would be great improvement

Villa Bel Fiori Apartment - 2 Sleeper
Absolutely lovely flat. The linens, made by Camille’s company it turns out, were some of the nicest I’ve ever slept on — and I’ve spent a great deal of time in luxury hotels for work. ( If you’re local check out That’s Linen ). If, like me, you’re booking because it’s walking distance to stuff, be prepared for a workout on the way home. But hey, great views don’t come without steep climbs.

Chakas chalets 8 - SeaView Escape at Chaka’s Rock
I had an exceptional stay .The unit was clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in and check-out seamless. The location was perfect, close to local attractions but still peaceful and quiet. I truly felt at home and can't wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable getaway!

D3 Sea Lodge-by Stay in Umhlanga
This was our second time staying at Jack’s property and the boys didn’t want to leave again. The easy access to the beach makes it our preferred location.

#BeachSpot House
Lyn is nothing but an exceptional and friendly, attentive host. She was very accommodating and made it so easy to chat to her about a few personal hiccups we experienced before arriving at her place. The staff are also so friendly and super helpful. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Lyn you are a darling! Thank you for being the amazing person you are!

Dolphin View Beach House
I had an amazing stay at this beautiful beach house! The location was perfect, just steps away from the ocean, with stunning views of the sunrise every morning. The house itself was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated, providing a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and the outdoor patio was a perfect spot for morning breakfast. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this beach house for anyone looking for a peaceful, seaside getaway!

Tranquil family holiday home!
Wonderful stay! Pellagia, the housekeeper, was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The accommodation was perfect for our family, with thoughtful touches like toys, kids' plates and bowls, and board games that kept the little ones entertained. The place was spotless when we arrived, and the daily cleaning service was fantastic. The beach towels and chairs were a lovely bonus. Big thanks to Catherine for making our stay so special. We highly recommend this accommodation!

Perfect family vacation home.
Big, beautiful, well maintained and very peaceful and private.

Absolutely stunning home away from home! Ella is such an amazing host. So warm, gentle and kind. She made us feel right at home. My family and I really love the place, my son made me promise to come back so I don't have much of a choice 😊 We'll definitely be returning. The refreshments and snacks on offer are such a warm and thoughtful touch. Thanks so much for your generous hospitality Ella 😊🌟

Salt Rock Beach getaway
Lovely home right on the ocean! We had a great stay at the Beach getaway in Salt Rock. You can't beat the location with direct access to the beach and a rock pool right there for swimming. The house has everything you could need and Nellie, the maid, was so helpful! It was so nice to be able to travel with our small dogs and they had a blast running up and down the large garden. Definitely recommend this home for the idyllic beach stay :)

Seaside Serenity: Your ultimate beachfront escape!
Perfect location right on the beach in Ballito. Jessie's place had everything you need for a peaceful, relaxing stay at the beach. We even saw a pod of dolphins playing in the waves on the first day. Only wish we could've stayed longer.

Lady Ellen Beach House Umhlanga
Had a great stay at John's place. Will definitely be back. His staff were super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

**Stunning Beach House on Salt Rock beach**
This home has been one of our best stays in the Dolphin coast. The home is extremely spacious, catering for large families (we had 13) with breath taking ocean views, that flow into the house. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms to cater for privacy, fantastic open plan communal areas. A relaxing environment with all amenities you need to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Direct beach access made it super convenient for kids and elders getting to the ocean for swims Our family could not stop raving about what an amazing place it was. Recommend!

Beach House with a view
Nor my husband and I were able to attend the trip due to medical issues. But my husband's brother and his friends seemed to have a wonderful stay with a beautiful view!!! thank you so much Karen and Carla 😊

Spacious 6 Bedroom House
One of my favourite places I have ever stayed. Such a beautiful home. So comfortable and the views are incredible. We cannot wait to come back.

Premium house with glorious sea views
Lindy’s home was an incredible haven for our weekend away: it felt like home from the start. Immaculately clean, and with beautiful sea and forest views - it’s a tranquil refuge that we’ll certainly return to. Cannot recommend enough and we will certainly be back.

Tiffany’s Family Beach Cottage
What a wonderful 8 days we had in Salt Rock! It was home away from home yet right on the beach and a real treat. Nothing was too much to ask of Claire and of Goodness. The newly renovated bathrooms are fantastic. The pool was sparkling clean and a refreshing dip after a day on the beach. So much fridge and freezer space was amazing with a full house. The solar was lovely to have as a "just in case" backup. So many happy memories made and we can't wait to go back!
