Family-friendly holiday rentals in Zinkwazi Beach

Leslie's home was great. It was in a great location and Leslie was easy to get hold of when we had question. There were a couple of minor issues that were easily sorted out, like the location of the stove switch and the keys to one of the sliding doors. The only downside, had to do with the parking - there was something that dripped from the parking ceiling onto my windscreen and bonnet and I'm struggling to remove it.

The place was great, even better than the pictures. All the amenities listed were available and so much more. It’s a dream for young kids, because of the large pool and yard space to run around. The communication was great, all our questions were answered very quickly. The place was spotless and remained so for our entire stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. Definitely recommend 10/10

Ive been coming to Umhlanga for 30 years and Jacque's place is by the far the best Ive ever stayed in - spacious, clean, right on the beach. Truly amazing, thanks!

Thank u Frank for having us. The place is beautiful and clean. Definitely coming back again

Leigh’s home is wonderful, spacious and beautifully decorated. The view from the deck into the the forest was so serene and peaceful. Leigh was a perfect host. She responded promptly thought our booking. Location of the property was perfect, close to shops and lots to do in the area for families. Thuli, the housekeeper was such a help. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Leigh’s and would definitely book again.

We had never stayed in an Airbnb property before and so had no idea what to expect. However, The Lilypad surpassed anything we could have imagined. The house itself was beautiful and much bigger than it seemed in the photos and Derrick and Margi are the perfect hosts. The house is spacious and very well equipped. Even the monkeys turned up to watch us eating lunch in the garden one day. It was like a wildlife documentary in reverse! We could not believe their generosity in taking our children to the airport at 5.30am after we left! If all Airbnb properties and hosts are all like this then we are hooked.

The location, the view of the beach was exceptional, it was clean and packed up with all the essentials we needed, my family and I loved everything about the place, I highly recommend it.

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

Aleks is an awesome host, she thinks of all the small things that we will need, that's what made our stay great, we felt very much at home. The only downside to this beautiful home is the driveway, it's very narrow and steep and a challenge to get up. Our stay was really really great, thank you Aleks...

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.

Sublime location with wonderful sea views! We had a really super time away!

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

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!

A comfortable, well appointed holiday home with mesmerising views over the ocean. It had everything we needed for a relaxing week's holiday. The pool is magnificent and beautifully set with the an awe-inspiring palm tree on one end (it must be the highest tree along the entire Zinkwazi ridge). It may be a long walk to the beaches, but we did not feel the need to use a car to get there at all as you get to see the neighborhood while getting some exercise. For fellow avid walkers, the beaches North or South of the village are well worth long ambling walks. The communication from Engela who runs reservations for the property was timely, accurate and helpful. Great stay!

Warren is a super cool host. Our stay was short and I wish I could stay on. The beach is just across the road. The cabin gives you that I’m on holiday feeling. Would go there again. Thanks again Warren for having us

One of my best stays

My stay was as beautiful as the first time. My family and I love this place. We will be back next year September. Love love love it 😍 🌻

Perfect spot for a relaxed beach holiday. Zinkwazi Beach may not have the glamour and easy amenities of some of the other KZN North Coast beach spots, but for sheer relaxation and laid back charm it won't be easily beaten. It has a long walkable and swimmable beach, lovely walks through the coastal forest reserve, beautiful sunsets and friendly locals. we enjoyed a great week with Tanya as our host. Enjoyed the location of the house - easy walking distance to the main beach and ski boat club bar and eatery, and it had the benefit of a lovely patio and swimming pool for when the wind comes up and the beach is not the place to be. A very enjoyable week, and we can fully recommend both Tanya as a host, and her house as the perfect beach getaway.

we had the most amazing holiday, I have fallen in love with Umdloti. The beach water was lovely and warm, the weather was just perfect and everywhere was so easy to get to. The apartment was just perfect, the views in the morning was to die for. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us, we loved it.

Everything was amazing walk to the beach the pictures didn’t do the place justice it is beautiful

We had a great relaxing family weekend away in this amazing space. Wish we could have stayed longer. The short walk directly onto the beach via an access controlled gate allowed us to enjoy the beach. The private pool was put to good use on returning from the beach to get away from the wind. The house is spacious with a great layout. Our host Elsie was great. We will definitely be back!

Just as previous comments mentioned, the pictures are great but they almost don’t do the property justice. We had an amazing stay, the views, the property, and the location were amazing! The private beach access with a beautiful beach surpassed our expectations. Kathryn (the owner) and Noelle (property manager) were very responsive and answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.

Spacious and clean apartment within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Jack is a friendly and responsive host and we had no issues during our stay.
