Anew Hotel Ocean Reef Zinkwazi
4.1/531 Reviews
The resort is beautiful in terms of the location, room size and view of the ocean and scenic drive from Durban. Access to the beach is super easy and the beach itself is heavenly. The resort is easy to get around and the two swimming pools are great for the kids and adults. However, the resort has many problems that need to be resolved urgently as these problems adversely impact a holiday makers basic need for rest and relaxation. There was power outages at least 5 times a day which is why there is a gas braai on the verandah of every unit. The shower has no pressure and the hot water is intermittent so my son had cold showers which wasn't too bad due to the summer heat. The service at the restaurant is the worst I have experienced and I suppose that's because there is only 5 people to attend to bartending and taking care of restaurant patrons, not to mention the power outages making certain menu items unavailable. The cleaners do not clean the rooms, they dont even use any detergents when cleaning, its superficial wiping and tidying up. All in all, the establishment is pretty because of the natural surroundings however I wont be returning or recommending this establishment.
Relax Inn
3.5/57 Reviews
First the positives: the location is very beautiful, the rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean, and the staff are friendly. I was able to order dinner at the restaurant which was tasty. The location is also safe. Cons: this BnB serves as a wedding venue (which is exquisite); however, the BnB should not allow private individuals to book a room if there is a wedding going on. I chose this BnB to be close to the airport but didn’t get a wink of sleep as the wedding party carried on into the early hours and the rooms were not soundproof at all. I especially booked this BnB as it advertised that it had an airport shuttle. However, I was disappointed to learn that actually the BnB itself does not do this - they call a shuttle service which charges a ridiculous R600 for a 20 minute ride to the airport!
Ekhaya Guest House
3.8/53 Reviews
One of the reasons I visit Guest Houses is because its a personalised experience and very much like home from home. I am a solo business woman and enjoy feeling safe and secure and most of my work is online. So I also want to be able to work from the environment that I find myself in, without being in the way of others who are checking in or checking out. Ekhaya is one such place and I must say the rooms were spotless and neatly laid out, the breakfast was served when I was ready and I loved the big screen in the living room which was just like being at the movies. Richard, our host, was attentive without being in the way, and his ability to make me feel at home, was just what I needed when I left home. I loved that he saw the monkeys as animals whose home was his home and although they were kept at bay, he didn't treat them as intruders. When you are next in Ballito, pop in and stay with Richard. You will definitely enjoy the experience. You can watch is interview on Youtube as he tells his story from England to South Africa and what an interesting story it is. SA Commuter Online. Or listen to his story on Life is a Beach on IONO podcast.
The Capital Zimbali
4.4/555 Reviews
I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Capital Zimbali, and it was a fantastic experience. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, with all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. The location is perfect, with easy access to nearby attractions. The breakfast was delicious, offering a great variety of options. Overall, I highly recommend The Capital Zimbali and would definitely stay here again.
