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.

Flamenco 3 bedroom beach front

MelaniRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Stay We’ll Never Forget! This was hands down one of the most incredible places we’ve 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 sightings—it 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 day—bringing 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. We’ve stayed in many places, but this one? It’s something special. It’s the kind of place you start planning your return to before you've even left. Can’t recommend it highly enough—we'll absolutely be back 💃

Shells Cozy on-the-beach Hideaway

CarrynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an absolutely wonderful three days in Kathy’s place. The photos don’t do the place justice. The views are incredible… we chose staying in and enjoying the views over eating out. The beds and furniture are so comfortable and the place is beautifully decorated. Everything was clean and Kathy was so responsive and easy to communicate with. We loved the peace we felt in her home and will undoubtedly be back soon. Highly highly recommend!!

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.

A true gem 💎. Situated on a very safe, quiet side of the promenade. The area is constantly patrolled by armed guards and SAPS. Bring food, restaurants are not within a walking distance. Thank you Peter and V!

I had a wonderful stay at this property! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The bed was cozy, the Wi-Fi was fast, and the overall ambiance made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect—close to local attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, offering helpful tips and making check-in and check-out smooth and hassle-free. I truly appreciated the little touches, like fresh towels and toiletries. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to other travelers!
