"Charming and well-located flat."

We enjoyed our stay. The unit has a few oddly-placed outlets (none in the main bedroom) and the light fixtures in the living room are exactly at head-dinging height. But overall, it's lovely. It's right on the bay. You can hear the roar of the ocean from all the windows. And there are shops within walking distance.

"Perfect for a young family."

The pictures didn't do the place justice. It's a charming seaside chic meets rustic. There's even a reading nook that each of us used during our stay. We loved it! The only con: super steep stairs - not recommended for anyone with a movement impediment. Luckily, we're still spry.

"Enjoy time spent with family."

Unit very basic. Not worth the amount of money I spend on accommodation.

"We had problems from the start, couldn't get into the gate because the remote didn't work."

The place didn't have a mop or washcloth. There was a towel short. On day 2, the DSTV stopped working.

"Nice at the seaside."

The location of the unit is perfect for a seaside getaway. You see and hear the sea and places to eat and shops are within walking distance. The sink in the kitchen is strange, small and very deep, but the unit has everything you need for a nice break. We had a great time and the DSTV was a bonus on the rainy days.

"So close to the beach."

Really enjoyed the stay, the unit is all you need and super close to the beach. Would have loved an extra fan and possibly a cover for the patio but the place was great and we enjoyed our stay.

"Not at all what was displayed on the pictures or property description."

This accommodation was advertised as three bedrooms, but was only two. A cot hanging over the stairs does not count as a bedroom or a loft. The photos of the property on website give the illusion that this is a ground floor unit with sliding doors opening onto a lawn, however the doors actually open to nothing, as this is not a ground floor unit. The braai area displayed on the website appears to look out over the sea, not people through banana leaves. The braai area also has an unsafe gap in the wall where a person could slip through and fall into the courtyard of the unit below. The beach-way gate is incorrectly wired and electrocutes you each time you use the key to open it. There are no mirrors above the basin in the bathroom, which is necessary for most men to shave with, and for women to get ready. You have a choice of leaning over the toilet or bath to see what you are doing to your face. The least expected of a unit for hire would be plastic bags bags in the dustbins and more than 2 rolls of toilet paper for a stay longer than a weekend. Maintenance obviously is not a priority here seeing that plaster falls off and crumbles off of the walls, showing exposed brick walls in the garage area. Most of the keyholes are rusted and you battle to fit your keys in to lock and unlock doors. We left a day early because we really did not have a pleasant stay here, whatsoever. This unit is not worth the money we paid for this. We will definitely not recommend this agency, or the establishment to anyone, if anything we will warn them against you. The only good thing about this unit is that is was mostly clean.

"Not great!"

Not worth the money! The place is tiny and really old. It needs major upgrades as paint is peeling off the walls. The bathroom with a shower is so small you can barely get into the bathroom and close the door. The other bathroom with the bath had no bath plug! Living on Ballito's board walk would be better!

"Not value for money at all."

Apart from the apartment, which at least was clean, I can't say much else positively. Paid dearly for meager comfort. There are no cupboards in the kitchen to pack away your goods. The sink in which you have to wash dishes is just that square aluminum deep hole, in which you can hardly even reach. There is the minimum kitchenware to use. The fridge is really too small for a family of 5's needs. The bathrooms need upgrading. The braai needs attention. There is no attic room as mentioned. The 5th bed is only a pushed-in bed next to the stairs, and bigger children and adults cannot sleep there at all. A basic cleaning service every day is also a strong recommendation. A larger vehicle does not fit in the garage at all. I have certainly stayed in better equipped accommodation in the past in Ballito on the main beach at a lower rate. The rate you pay for this accommodation definitely warrants an upgrade!

"Was very nice and close to beach."

Shower door was broken. Took three days to fix DStv reception. Lights on steps were not working. Reading light (in wall) in second bedroom was not working. Otherwise stay was very nice

"Wonderful."

Bathrooms and braai area need attention, but the rest was fantastic.
