Umdloti Resort - Prime Beachfront Apartment

TammyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.
A spacious exterior view showcases a well-maintained garden with lush greenery and various plants. The house features a charming entrance with an expansive driveway, leading to both the main structure and a play area with outdoor equipment. The clear blue sky enhances the welcoming atmosphere.

Luxurious family home.

TriciaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The place was great, even better than the pictures. All the amenities listed were available and so much more. It’s a dream for young kids, because of the large pool and yard space to run around. The communication was great, all our questions were answered very quickly. The place was spotless and remained so for our entire stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. Definitely recommend 10/10
The image showcases a swimming pool surrounded by lush green plants and a stone patio. A well-manicured lawn is visible beyond the pool, with a light-colored structure in the background featuring large windows. Sun loungers are positioned nearby.

I recently stayed at a fantastic Airbnb in Kloof for a work trip, and it exceeded all my expectations. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, which made my stay smooth and stress-free. The place was spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. It was also very comfortable, providing a peaceful environment to relax and recharge after long workdays. All the amenities in the unit were up to standard, ensuring I had everything I needed for a productive stay. I highly recommend for anyone traveling to Kloof for work or leisure.

top spot on Mentone

TrishalaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Janne's place really is a home away from home. The cottage is peaceful and surrounding by a wonderful garden that overlooks some of the best parts of Durban. We didn't want for anything, the kitchen was well stocked with essentials, the bed was large and comfy, the internet was fast, the aircon is very effective and the cottage was very easy to lock up and go. I highly recommend this spot when in Durban and will be back!

House on the Beach

BrigetteRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our stay at the beach house was absolutely magical! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by an incredible team Khati and Mak who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their professionalism and warmth truly stood out. The homeowner is an absolute delight—cheerful, kind, and always ready to help. The house itself is a stunning gem, offering a perfect blend of comfort and charm. But the highlight? The breathtaking view that greets you every day. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins swimming by—it was like something out of a dream! This place is a true slice of paradise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

12 Armstrong Avenue

FahimRating, 5 stars101 months ago
Place was exactly as described. A perfect place to rest a mere 10min drive away from Durban central. WiFi was exhausted on day 1 with my 3 children. I like to try new places. But Matt's place is a safe bet so will probably return. High 5 Matt.

Appin House (electrical & water backup)

HollyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
An absolute paradise! Great for all ages, we had from a toddler for the day to 85 year old mama, who all felt at home and had a wonderful time. We lived on the back porch, soaking in the sun and breeze and catching up with each other after 2 years apart. Would absolutely stay again!

I have booked places for celebrations and nothing, to date, comes close to Smith's Cottage. Their service was filled with much humility and comfort. I am more than convinced that as for now, they will always be my first choice. Thank you, Smith's Cottage.

Tranquil Central Morningside Home

KooRating, 5 stars15 months ago
Staying at Duncan's place for our festive holiday enabled us to make great memories, enjoy the fabulous layout and convenient amenities. The pool was perfect for cooling down in the hot weather and then relaxing in the tranquil garden. We appreciated the security and safety features too. The home is on a quiet street, with great views of the sea in the distance and a bit of the cityscape. Duncan and Kate are great communicators, always available to respond to messages to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We'd love to stay again in future.
A spacious garden is shaded by a large tree, featuring a trampoline and a green slide. Lush foliage and low shrubs border the grassy area, providing a natural and open feel. The garden has a well-maintained appearance, ideal for outdoor activities.

Justin's home was a perfect holiday home, the house it self was neat, beautiful and a great location. 6min from Umhlanga main beach, Spar is just around the corner and if you wish, you can walk to the beach down the road. Dolly, the house helper is an absolute GEM. We had a wonderful stay
