We had a very nice stay. Will definitely stay there again.
Beautiful, comfortable and cosy stay, beautiful sea views. The host was very accommodating and friendly. Anything you needed, she was there to assist.
See stars.
I had a great weekend there with my son. The minor issue was that we were struggling to connect to the WiFi, only managing to connect on our first day.
The owners are lovely people, the stay was excellent. The seaview was excellent. Just don't have access to the beach at the accommodation, but everything is so close to each other you can be on the beach or in town within 6 minutes. Very nice peaceful atmosphere. Enjoyed it a lot.
On the ocean was calm and tidy. Cecelia and Andre had been excellent. The view over the sea is fantastic and the path to the beach makes it a relaxing break. We had a nice stay.
Excellent stay. Beautiful and relaxing right on the beach.
Excellent place beyond our expectations for our 3-day convention of Jehovah's Witnesses discussing "Exercising patience'.
I can't thank the hosts enough for their warm welcome. They are 2 amazing, helpful people. I would recommend this place to anyone any day.
Amazing experience, we even saw whales.
True to its name. On the Ocean offers stunning views of the ocean literally at your doorstep. Hosts Cecelia and Andre are amazing. Had a lovely stay and would. definitely recommend for some relaxing time out.
We were greeted with a warm welcome from Cecelia, and throughout our stay we met Andre, who was very pleasant as well. The cleanliness and everything was top-notch. The aircon was a welcome relief during the Durban heat. The sea view was amazing. We had our privacy and enjoyed our stay at "On the Ocean"! Thank you again for your kind gestures.
The host was really great and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. She made sure we had all the info we needed as well as all the supplies. I am definitely keeping this place on my radar. Not to mention the view, cleanliness and space.
It's located right in front of the beach with the best view ever. I love it.
Wildlife wonderful. If the opportunity comes again, we will definitely stay there again.
Service was very good. Very friendly. On the Ocean has such a beautiful view of the sea. Perfect place to just be quiet, enjoy the view, and reflect. Thank you very much.
The view is a beauty. The people very friendly.
I have stayed many places but I have to we we absolutely enjoyed our stay at on the ocean. Very friendly people. I have found my go to place for my holidays in Durban.
André and Cecelia made us feel welcome, the view was beautiful and we were lucky to be entertained by whales every day. We enjoyed our time in Durban.
We will definitely stay there again.
Owner is friendly and accommodating. Accommodation is clean and sufficient for our requirements.
You couldn't ask for a better view and friendlier people. Thank you very much. We'll see you in 2022.
Room is very clean with a neat kitchen and nice size veranda. Beautiful sea view. Very nice area with low traffic noise. Parking inside behind a locked gate with remote control.
I must say the establishment is neat and in close proximity to shopping centers, beaches, medical centers. We were just a bit worried about the safety of our car as it was fully exposed to passersby when parked inside the establishment yard. Otherwise, our stay was super, enjoyed every moment spent there and even extended by an extra day as the kids didn't want to leave. The service was also great, Cecilia, made all efforts to make us feel at home.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommended. Will definitely stay there again.
I loved the peace of the place and the staff are very friendly. My daughter and I really enjoyed ourselves.
Ubuntu is surely one of the values you live by, thank you.
Accommodation was neat, safe environment, well furnished, hospitality, beautiful views.
Value for money and clean.
On The Ocean is one of the very few places I’ve stayed at that has all you need for a relaxing and romantic aura, with a beautiful ocean view. What makes the accommodation even better is that the host were very understanding and truly made our stay worry free and enjoyable. I will definitely go back for another holiday.
Beautiful and very nice and peaceful. Would stay there again anytime.
We enjoyed our stay very much! Celia and André are the best host and hostess! They go out of their way to make your stay memorable! We will definitely stay there again! Was nice!
Too little space to mention everything. What stood out for us was when I asked Andre where I could rent fishing gear, he went out of his way to get it for me which was much appreciated.
I had a very nice stay and the apartment was very clean and convenient.
We really enjoyed it and will definitely use it again.
The place is clean, quiet, close to the beach the view is to die for, and most importantly the owners are nice.
I'd recommend this place for a vacation with you partner.
The unit was ideally located in an upmarket quiet area with sweeping views of the ocean. The owners welcomed us on arrival and ensured that we were orientated as to the amenities on-site. The unit was spacious and clean and exceeded our expectations.
See stars.
Although the apartment is on the sea, one does not have direct access to the beach, due to the high dune on which the bluff is located. However, beaches are very close and in good condition. Accommodation was comfortable and convenient, as well as parking and access to the apartment. The kitchen could do with a few accessories.
Was a perfect place to stay and will definitely use again in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay at the ocean. The owner was very kind and friendly to us. The apartment is clean and spacious. You really feel at home. On the Ocean will definitely be our second home when we are visiting Durban.
Owners are so friendly and the places are beautiful, big and the view is breathtaking. Quiet area, you are away from the noise. Will recommend it again and again to someone who is looking for tranquillity.
The location of the place cannot be better. You lie in your room and watch the dolphins and whales frolic in front of you. It's safe, clean and facilities are convenient. Host and wife are friendly and involved, yet give freedom without restricting movement! Will definitely return again! A lot of effort went into just decor. Garden that you look out on is a treat for the eyes and the wild birds are a plus. A must return experience! Had a great stay and rest assured!
I love everything about On The Ocean, it is very clean, open, affordable and we got good service.I will like to go back again with family or friends it is the perfect place.
On the ocean. Luxury comes in many forms. This place is beautiful and clean. Cecilia and Andre were the best. Me and my partner had a great time there, from the apartment to the area itself which is nice and quite. It's a beautiful environment with clean beaches. Hospitality and five star service at its very best. Thanks, Cecilia and André. We will definitely come back again.
This was real value for money. It is literally right on the ocean. Amazing views and the owner is extremely helpful and friendly. I will definitely recommend this as a top accommodation spot in Bluff.
The place is fantastic and the owners are wonderful. Stunning view. Will definitely go again.
Big spacious place with modern kitchen and living area, balcony view is breathtaking, will definitely go again. Celia and Andre are people-people, very friendly and happy to help. Our time there was heavenly.
What a great experience, a lot of space, clean, friendly staff and one hell of a sea view. Family friendly, would definitely recommend for a fun stay On the Ocean!
I would recommend On the Ocean to anyone! It is a beautiful place, and Celia and Andre are nice people!
Neatly and practically furnished. The sea view and space make it the best choice! Friendly reception, here you can rest!
Owners are very friendly and made us feel welcome. Will definitely visit On the Ocean again.
The unit is clean, spacious and well maintained. Very friendly owners who made us feel welcomed. Hoping to return during the whaling season to catch a glimpse of the whales. Very thoughtful of the owners to have the basics available: tea, coffee, milk etc.Well done, Celia! Great place and hope to visit soon.
