The Capital Zimbali ★★★★

"A very good surprise to end our South Africa tour. Perfectly located 15km away from Durban airport, Capital Zimbali is a huge, modern and beautiful hotel facing the Indian ocean, with lush garden and massive pools. Bedrooms are very spacious and be very comfortable. We were upgraded to a room facing the ocean with balcony. Good choice of restaurant options though both were very smoky due to poor ventilation system. Very helpful and efficient staff."

Salt Rock Manor ★★★

Canelands Beach Club ★★★★

"Excellent location at the sea. Breathtaking views. Beautiful swimming pool. Rooms are very large with comfortable bed. Large bathroom with good shower. Rooms could get some refurbishment: spotlight rims falling apart, mirror in bathroom flaking, door to the dressing completely stuck. No fine dining restaurant."

Chakas Cove ★★★★

First Group la Montagne ★★★

"We had the absolute pleasure of staying in this fine establishment. The welcome my family and I received from the staff was warm and genuine. We also met the GM , Mrs. Shamini Pather, who truly made us feel home away from home and asked us if all was ok and if we ever needed anything to please call. It was so nice to be treated like royalty Everything from the activities for the kids and adults, the great food and service at the restaurants, the awesome pool, the scrumptious breakfast was on point and up to 5 star standards. We loved the braai area on our patio which just capped it off. A truly amazing and beautiful stay at the La Montagne Resort, I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and fun filled vacation."

Hampshire Hotel - Ballito ★★★

"When we checked in the room had a terrible musky smell. It seemed to of been water damaged and not properly dried up and cleaned thereafter. We complained to the front desk and were sent to another room with the exact same issue. We complained again and were then sent to a third room but the furniture had water damage, the shower silicone grouting had mould and the toilet didn’t fill up after flushing. Eventually the manager came to us and apologised and arranged for a fourth room which was much better than the first three. One of the nights other guests were drinking and partying till the morning, slamming doors and screaming. The restaurant and bar were extremely quiet and looked extremely dull. The hotel seemed extremely quiet for peak season in an holiday town and now I understand why."

Petite Provence B&B ★★★★

"Would love to come again🙌🥰 Loveful"

Turtle Room ★★★

Regal Inn Ballito ★★★

"Considering that this is a low-cost hotel with minimal nightly rates, I had extremely modest expectations—basically, I was just hoping for a tidy, comfy bed and a clean room. Rather, what greeted us was a urine-scented mattress and dirty, foul-smelling linens and pillows. The hotel as a whole smelled bad, and the scent throughout was insufferable. I checked out a few hours after I arrived since I felt physically ill from the odours. We ultimately chose to spend the night in the wonderful, spotless, and freshly scented Hampshire Hotel-Ballito, which is about 400 metres from this disappointing place."
