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 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.

Flamenco 3 bedroom beach front
âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ 5/5 â A Stay Weâll Never Forget! This was hands down one of the most incredible places weâve ever stayed! From the moment we arrived, everything felt like a dream. The views? Absolutely to die for. Waking up to the most breathtaking sunrises and dolphin sightingsâit honestly felt like a slice of paradise. The home itself was immaculate and beautifully designed. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was our host. She went above and beyond every single dayâbringing us fresh coffee each morning (yes, really!), aand treating us with such genuine kindness. Nothing was ever too much trouble. It felt less like staying at an Airbnb and more like being welcomed into someone's lovingly cared-for haven. Weâve stayed in many places, but this one? Itâs something special. Itâs the kind of place you start planning your return to before you've even left. Canât recommend it highly enoughâwe'll absolutely be back đ

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.

17 Chakas Rock Chalets - Sea Views - Sleeps 4
We had a lovely 2 night stay - but we would have loved to stay longer. We got to see some dolphins while enjoying our morning coffee outside. The flat is close to the beach and has lots of activities. Itâs safe and secure.

The place is extremely safe and secured which was amazing to experience. The decor of the home was perfect. I'm in love with the kitchen set up I could spending hours cooking there. Thank you.

Luxury Beach Villa
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.

Front Row Family Beachside Unit
One of the best locations we've stayed in. The view is insane and made us just want to stay there. Adrian and Richard was extremely helpful and the staff was world class. We will be back very soon!
