Ocean Luxury at The Quays (2/4 sleeper)
What can I say about Bronwyn? She has helped us how no end she’s been calm relaxed helpful helped us out a lot. The place is amazing. The view is amazing. The people are amazing. This is definitely a place to go. If you wanna relax. We will definitely be coming back here with my wife.

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.

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

Luxury Private Beach Villa between Umdloti Ballito
Wow! What a beautiful home. Thank you Michelle. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is pristine & the setting is just amazing. Peaceful & relaxing. I cant recommend enough. Michtlke was extremely helpful & accommodating. Thank you again, loved it.

Spacious Cottage on secluded, child-friendly beach
Spectacular, from the location, the views, the beach access, space, and amenities, this place is heaven for those looking for a quiet, private breakaway to a pristine area just off the M4. Also close enough to Ballito for shopping. The house is perfect for families wanting to relax and enjoy the view, and really does have all you need. Debra was also an excellent host, very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

9 Chakas Sands, Ballito on beach-Sml pet friendly
Roelof was so friendly and helpful. The location is amazing, being so close to the beach! We had a great time on our holiday and will definitely visit again!

WAZOS BEACH COTTAGE
The fact that you can literally just cross the road and be on the beach makes this place a gem! The patio area chairs were so soft and comfortable, and it was so amazing that we could relax on the patio while listening to the ocean. Some small things to note - one, the garden is not fully “enclosed” so if you have a pet, keep in mind that there’s another airbnb and the owner sharing the same property as you. The unit also lists dstv and a tv, but unfortunately the tv seems too out of date to run dstv smoothly, and makes it unwatchable due to it getting stuck every few seconds. Second bed setup by the tv was so comfortable we enjoyed just relaxing there without the tv anyway. The bed was also comfy and there were plenty pillows! The kitchen was generously stocked with some basic food supplies and was very clean and the perfect size. Warren is one of the most proactive and friendly hosts we’ve met. He even brought us 10l of spring water during our stay! We recommend Wazo’s 🤟🏄♂️

Pet Friendly Holiday House, Sea View & Pool
This home is spectacular. We loved the solid older home feel of it, with the hardwood floors and the beach house décor. The view is stunning! We watched whales every morning. We totally enjoyed the huge spaces, including the kitchen and yards. It was too cold to use the pool, but just having it gave the resort vibe. Gary and Michelle were very responsive and so kind. We felt like we had friends by the time we left.

Penthouse Apt With Amazing Sea View
We absolutely LOVED our stay here. We are already planning our next visit! The apartment matched the description and was exactly what we needed for a weekend away. It’s right on the beach, so you can pop up and down easily and enjoy the view and soothing sound of the ocean from the comfort of your balcony any time of day. The apartment was well equipped with everything you need to stay in and rotate between the beach and home. We will definitely stay here next time we are in Ballito!

Hygge ~ to relax and enjoy
The place is beautiful and clean, definitely worth the visit. I’m definitely going back to Lucentha home it’s beautiful.

On The Beach Ballito @ 1 The Grange
What a stunning stay! The place was gorgeous and the view just cannot be beaten! Nadine and Chantelle managed to assist on the day of arrival with an earlier check in and to help fix something that had broken! Wonderful friendly service! Thank you so much!

Family Beachside Apartment - Stunning Views ⛱
Our stay at Adrian’s apartment was nothing short of amazing. Everything was exactly as depicted in the pictures. The view was breathtaking, waking up to the view and sound of the ocean was absolutely incredible 😍 Communication throughout the trip was excellent. Adrian provided us with all the information we needed and the instructions were easy to follow. The check-in and check-out process was seamless. The recommendations of family friendly restaurants around the area as well as the process of getting to the beaches assisted us greatly. Adrian is indeed a super-host, we will definitely consider booking any of his properties in future 👌🏽
