Anew Hotel Ocean Reef Zinkwazi
8.9 (45 reviews)

Anew Hotel Ocean Reef Zinkwazi ★★★★

📍 17 Magai Drive, Nkwazi

"Enjoyed every single minute at the hotel, rooms were clean. Service was excellent, food was good but I only ask for variety. "

The Capital Zimbali
9.0 (70 reviews)

The Capital Zimbali ★★★★

📍 6 Zimbali Dr, Zimbali East, Ballito

"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."

Kearsney Manor
8.0 (55 reviews)

Kearsney Manor ★★★

📍 R74 Greytown Road Plot 1, iLembe DC

"My family and I really enjoyed our time with your friendly staff, we loved the place and we are definitely planning our next visit with the rest of the family, and next time we will stay more than one night. Thank you so much"

Rain Farm Game Lodge
8.9 (42 reviews)

Rain Farm Game Lodge ★★★

📍 Esenembi Road, Umhlali, iLembe DC

"So it rained throughout our stay which was disappointing my family looked forward to the rock pool and outdoor activities.Our unit had stunning views of the wildlife & dam.Inside our unit by the dining section they need to improve the lighting my hubby did a setup for my birthday but we couldn't take out nice pictures due to poor lighting.The tv also needs a upgrade.And a aircon installed in the lounge for those chilli nights the a/c in the passage serves that part of the unit only.Also it's not a obligation by the lodge to offer a complementary gesture but my suggestion if a guest is celebrating a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary throwing a complementary gesture or doing something special for the guest/guests will leave a lasting impression on him/her that will in return will repeat business.Going the extra mile always as a positive effect.Our game drive with Victor was amazing he is truly well versed in his field & accommodating.He offered us a blanket if we felt cold during the drive which was special.Victor's professionalism & knowledge is admirable.The food & presentation was excellent! Our experience was good but due to the rainy conditions we as a family never maximized on our experience & activities offered."

Sala Beach House
9.8 (42 reviews)

Sala Beach House ★★★★★

📍 75 Ocean Dr, Ballito, Shaka's Rock

"Spectacular venue and dining The staff were warm, attentive, and truly five-star. Lunch had a relaxed, chic vibe, while the fine-dining experience in the evening was exceptional. The bedrooms and facilities offered true luxury, with comfort and style in every detail. A highlight was the outstanding QMS facials and spa treatments, which left me feeling refreshed and renewed. A perfect escape in every way. Put this on your bucket list."

La Hacienda
6.0 (3 reviews)

La Hacienda ★★

📍 Foxhill Farm, Old Main Road, iLembe DC

"Myself and my dad were on a budget so were looking for cheep accoms but still expected basic amenities and were unfortunately disappointed. The room is a 3x4 rectangle with litterally just beds and bedside table. There is no aircon or fan. Theres no kitchen noc but to there credit theres a comunal kitchen which is nice. The bathroom looks like it was added on later. It is 1x3m with a toilet sink and shower but no door or curtain. There is no light or water pressure so the shower basically doesnt work. They have a roster that wakes you up at 5 every morning and lastly you need a 4x4 to get to the accoms as our car took a beating on that road. We werent looking for much but what we did pay this was one of the worst value for money accoms we have had."

Sala Beach House ★★★★★
"Our welcome and check in was very warm and friendly. Our room had fantastic views of the beach and ocean. The bed was very large and comfortable. There is no separate bathroom as such but just a blind to screen it from the bedroom. We ate dinner at the hotel the first night and the food and service was very good. The first morning at breakfast we asked for some toast and they brought us fried bread. When we questioned it we were told that it was toast - the chef even came out and told us it was toast and that they didn’t have a toaster which amazed us. The manager advised us later that they now had a toaster and breakfast the next day would be better, which in fairness to them it was. Service at breakfast was a bit slow and the staff were not as friendly as all of the others."

La Hacienda ★★
"We stayed at this place every second Saturday since October last year. Rooms - not what is shown on the website, not properly clean, no bins in the rooms, I had to ask which room we are in on arrival because there is no communication from management. We have arrived to rooms that were not made up and had to look for help to get things like towels. Bedside lamps with no globes and cords too short to plug into a power point. Shower had mildew and cob webs were everywhere. Fan wasn't always working and sometimes not available. Service - there is no such thing, the only service we got was from two sweet gentlemen who stayed as long term guests. Management is non existent. Location - although not far from the highway, the access road is in very poor condition and there is no signage. There is a rooster that crows incessantly throughout the night. The fridge is very dirty and unhygienic. I have mentioned this in good gaith to the lady that runs the place and was advised to look for another place to stay. Would not recommend this place."

The Saffron House ★★★
"Our hosts were the best - nothing was too much.and we had a fantastic 7 days with them. The breakfasts were amazing in a very relaxed setting and the whole place is clean and organized with a lovely pool to cool off in. arguably the best beach on the North Coast is within 300m walking distance. the security at the guesthouse is very good and we felt safe and secure at all times. we will definitely be back to stay again. thank you for making us feel so welcome, see you soon. Russell & Charis"
