Umdloti Resort - Prime Beachfront Apartment
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.

Luxurious family home.
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

Hilken lodge
Wonderful place to stay ,Elsen is a wonderful person ,very accomodating,the lodge highly recommended

4 Bed modern beachfront apartment
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.

Coastal Self Catering Garden Cottage
I really enjoyed my stay. Oscar is a perfect host. He even invented me to braai he had with his friend and his son. We had greaf conversation over meal. The place is neat, clean and private.

▪︎Welterusten (Sleep tight) Cottage
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.

The Breakers 230
Hi Wayne, accommodation was fantastic thank you. close to the pools and the beach access. Unit was neat and clean. We will definitely be coming back and bringing the little girls so they can play on the slides and pool.

809 Umdloti Beach Resort Stunning Sea Views
Peaceful what I was looking for for my holiday can’t wait to go back

The Embuia
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.

top spot on Mentone
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!

Central Morningside-Quiet,private Garden Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, love Hajra who really takes good care of the place. Marian is always checking in and keeps us updated. This is our third stay and will be returning. Thank you Marian and Hajra.

House on the Beach
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
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.

Thiseldoo
We had the most wonderful stay at Lynn’s beautiful home which was even lovelier than we imagined. Our furry guests, River and Ollie, were firm favourites. We’re going to miss them.

Appin House (electrical & water backup)
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!

Shagri-La Holiday Flat
Elize's apartment has everything one would need, including a spectacular view and is literally a 3-minute walk from the beach. The apartment is spacious, clean and well equipped. The entertainment area is one to be envied and compliments the relaxing environment in Kingsburgh. We shall be back. P.S. The caretaker Frans is an absolute gem :)

Smith Cottage has swimming pool, lovely braai area
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.

Umdloti Sands Family Retreat with sea view
We stayed for the weekend with our daughter and her friend for my daughter’s 7th birthday and for them having the beach a stone throw away was perfect they had the time of their lives!! House was clean and neat and we loved the games Nicole has at the house we got to all play as a family. The girls enjoyed their room as you can see the ocean from there. Nicole was also understanding and friendly always. 100% enjoyed our stay!

503 Marbella Beachfront Apartment Newly Renovated
We had a great stay in a perfect location. Loved sitting out on the terrace listening the to ocean break. Would come again in a heartbeat!

Dolphin View
We had a great stay at Natalie's place,she was so friendly and welcoming she even extended our check out time.

Luxury beach holiday villa
Pictures dont do the place justice. A lovely place. Easy access to the beach, 15min walk to oceans mall and tons of restaurant's. Two tvs. No complaints

Tranquil Central Morningside Home
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.

La Lucia-4 bedrooms, Sea views & pool
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
