The Beach house on Tiffany bay - newly revamped.
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.

Rosewood
Thank you, it was a lovely place to stay and so close to the beach

The Ultimate Beach Front Home - 25 Sovereign Sands
A beautiful, spacious beach home with gorgeous views and an unspoilt beach. Right on the beach & with easy access to the beach. Secure complex. We’ll definitely be back!

The Villas No.4 (Direct Beach Access)
The house has amazing ocean views and the sound of the waves was a beautiful background to our stay. A few steps from the beach, we had a wonderful time.

Beautiful beach cottage in Salt Rock
Douglas our host is fabulous, always a message away alongside Thulani our caretaker who lives on site while maintaining privacy for us guests. The facilities are more than perfect for us three adults and we slept like babies. Book the house and you will be blown away. Thank you for having us, we will come back again.

Incredible Beach House Sanctuary near Ballito!
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 !

Luxury Holiday Apartment
We had a wonderful stay! Would definitely book again. The unit is exceptionally well equipped and neat, with a view that is worth everything! The hosts also warmly greet and welcome you - you will surely feel at home. Thank you Werner and George for this amazing stay! See you again soon.

Cottage by the Sea. Early check in : 8.30am
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.

Lazy Lobster at Sanddune Guesthouse, Shakas Rock
We had such a wonderful time by Megan’s place, I absolutely recommend this place for a breather and fresh air, the beach is just a walking distance. Beautiful beach view, amazing host, I wouldn’t change a single thing about our stay here. I couldn’t swim because the winning pool water was too cold for me 🙈 definitely coming back in summertime so I can use the pool, thanks a lot Megan.

"Endless Summer" Tropical Beach Villa in Umdloti
Our stay was next level. From check-in to check-out, everything was on point. This is a real gem. Corrine's communication was so good; she went the extra mile to make our stay even more special. Can't find fault with anything. We will be back!

Lover's nest by the beach
Really enjoyed this peaceful unit. It is modern and spotless. Hosts graciously helped me out when I had to leave my other AirBnB early in the day. I opted for suggestion to go to a nearby mall for lunch. Uber is available but having a car (got one from nearby airport) made things easier. Stocked up on groceries from Woolworths. Strongly recommend this waterfront property. Views are from side balcony but still beautiful.

Modern loft with stunning views
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.

Sweeping Ocean Views and Luxury Accommodation
Jenny and her helper Cynthia were very nice and accomodating. We had a blast in this stunning house!

Coastal Bliss Lodge with Direct Beach Access
It is a nice and beautiful place on the ocean shore! Specially recommended for couples and families .

Durban Beachfront Bliss
Nomkhosi's apartment is in a beautiful location, overlooking the sea and it is also really beautiful inside with everything you will need. She was a great, responsive host.

44 Martinique • Ocean Escape
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!

Luxury 3 Bedroom Penthouse - Umhlanga Rocks
Ravi’s place was great. A great location close to a very cool area of bars, restaurants and shops. The apartment was exactly like the photos unlike other experiences I’ve had. Would love to stay there again in the future.
