The Beach house on Tiffany bay - newly revamped.

EnriqueRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is an excellent house in an excellent location of the northern KZN coast. Beach is a small stroll away and the house is designed in a very functional way, with a big common area but very private bedrooms. One of my best finds on AirBnB.

NOMAX BEACH HOUSE. Ballito/Chakas Rock-beachfront

JonathanRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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

Incredible Beach House Sanctuary near Ballito!

JuneRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Thank you Chad for a great stay ! The location of your home is perfect and the views from the house overlooking the sea and lagoon are spectacular. It was very peaceful sitting on the deck watching the sunsets. The kitchen was well equipped but lacking a dishwasher. Overall a great experience !

Cottage by the Sea. Early check in : 8.30am

SamanthaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful stay at The Cottage. The space was comfortable with homely amenities. The morning view of the ocean and the sunrise was special. We had dolphin sightings on both days that we stayed. We also spotted beautiful birds. We would definitely come back again. Thank you Bev - you have a special spot and your attention to detail made the cottage extra comfortable.

Luxury Beach Villa

ChintanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Nicely laid out space for a group-share: four independent rooms, each with an en suite full bathroom. Proximity to beach is excellent. The condo is outfitted with everything you'd need--from kitchen gear to beach towels, etc. We were a group of seven attending a wedding and had a great time in the space. Trish was also very helpful: when one guest forgot his passport in the condo, she was quick to let us back into the space well after checkout. I would recommend Trish's place for anyone looking for a fun pad to connect with family and friends, beachside.

Modern loft with stunning views

ChristinaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great stay - the place is very comfortable and we felt right at home. We loved the view of the harbor! It's very close to the prom and the beach. We were in town for the Ironman event -- and this place is absolutely the perfect location as it's just by the swim start and T1... we were able to bike and walk around very efficiently. And it was also quiet, secure, and convenient. Thanks again! If we're back in Durban for another IM we'd love to stay again.

44 Martinique • Ocean Escape

ChelseaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We absolutely loved our stay! The space has a relaxed, beach feel that made us feel like we were on holiday the second we walked in. It was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. Waking up to the sea views from bed was just magical and the beds themselves were super comfortable. We also really loved how close the apartment was to Thompsons Beach. It’s literally a 2-minute walk, and the tidal pool there is amazing for a morning swim or a bit of snorkeling. There were even beach toys and gear we could take down with us, which was such a thoughtful touch. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making this place special. We honestly didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend!
