Umdloti Resort - Prime Beachfront Apartment
Leslie's home was great. It was in a great location and Leslie was easy to get hold of when we had question. There were a couple of minor issues that were easily sorted out, like the location of the stove switch and the keys to one of the sliding doors. The only downside, had to do with the parking - there was something that dripped from the parking ceiling onto my windscreen and bonnet and I'm struggling to remove it.

Luxurious family home.
The place was great, even better than the pictures. All the amenities listed were available and so much more. It’s a dream for young kids, because of the large pool and yard space to run around. The communication was great, all our questions were answered very quickly. The place was spotless and remained so for our entire stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. Definitely recommend 10/10

Luxury at 230 (Cottage)
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience staying here. Nikki and Tom went above and beyond as air b&b hosts and truly made my experience amazing. When I landed in Durban, they picked me up from the airport and after learning that my luggage was stuck in Joburg, they took me to the store so that I could get some toiletries and food for the day. They were so patient and warm in every interaction that I had with them. When we lost water, they brought me a 5 liter jug and were extremely communicative any time we lost water or electricity. I was in Durban for two months and struggled to find people to travel with and they literally adopted me most weekends to hang out with them at their beach club. Regarding the air bnb itself, it was the perfect size for me. It is in the safest neighborhood with great restaurants and a bakery within walking distance! There's fiber internet and a washing machine. Loved this little cottage, love Nikki and Tom, and love Durban!!

4 Bed modern beachfront apartment
Gary is such a pleasant host, easy reachable and very responsive. Beautiful place and surroundings. Beach front view is the best part. Would highly recommend!!!!

Coastal Self Catering Garden Cottage
A lovely garden cottage, only 5min drive from the beach. Very peaceful and extremely clean! Loved my stay and would highly recommend it for solo travellers and couples. Thank you Oscar.

▪︎Welterusten (Sleep tight) Cottage
I recently stayed at a fantastic Airbnb in Kloof for a work trip, and it exceeded all my expectations. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, which made my stay smooth and stress-free. The place was spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. It was also very comfortable, providing a peaceful environment to relax and recharge after long workdays. All the amenities in the unit were up to standard, ensuring I had everything I needed for a productive stay. I highly recommend for anyone traveling to Kloof for work or leisure.

The Breakers 230
Hi Wayne, accommodation was fantastic thank you. close to the pools and the beach access. Unit was neat and clean. We will definitely be coming back and bringing the little girls so they can play on the slides and pool.

Beautiful 8th floor apartment right on the beach
Loved the place, easy access to the beach and restaurants. Definitely worth the visit, will be coming back soon!

Arum Cottage
Home from home! What a gem of a place. Situated in a prime location with all amenities nearby. What suited us was the birdlife and the tranquility of the setting. Shirley-Ann is a delightful host and, after a month-long stay, we are now firm friends and will stay connected. There is not a negative aspect to report: only a rave review of a rare find! We look forward to our return as we visit family and friends in Durban regularly. I highly recommend this cottage. Thank you Shirley-Ann.

809 Umdloti Beach Resort Stunning Sea Views
One of my best stays

The Embuia
What an amazing getaway - absolutely stunning views, walking distance from the beach and near amazing restaurants and shops. We had our toddler and our senior dog with us, and both of them enjoyed it thoroughly. Felt like home away from home. Will definitely be going back 😀 thank you Margriet for being such an amazing host.

top spot on Mentone
Jannes place is was perfect for myself and my 4 legged companion. We both felt right at home immediately and Janne was quite quick with responses with the very minor questions I had. Jannes place is definitely something to book if you are looking for a quiet, beautiful, well kept space. Definitely keeping this listing on a short list for future Durban visits. Thank you Janne for opening your home and for a great stay!

Central Morningside-Quiet,private Garden Cottage
Loved my stay here! Marian, Mauro, and Hajra (housekeeper) are extremely friendly and attentive. Not only are they great hosts but I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them. The unit was actually better than the pictures. I booked this place initially because it’s one of the few Airbnb’s that offered everything… A/C, fast WiFi, backup power, a full kitchen, gas stove, separate bedroom and living space, etc. My biggest priority was safety and this unit was extremely secure being in the back of the property with lots of gates and cameras. I don’t think there is any other Airbnb in the area that matches up to it. I would absolutely stay here again!

Appin House (electrical & water backup)
The location was good, the house was jolly good, Essy was mega helpful, the facilities were fine, the grounds were delightful, the cottage next to the house was a pleasure, the gates worked well, and it was a decent place to stay. I thought it was useful value for the money. Before you arrive though you need to find a contact WhatsUp number because Roger was in Canada and the intercom at the gate didn't function. But that was a small thing. I'd be happy to go back again.

Spacious Cottage on secluded, child-friendly beach
Spectacular, from the location, the views, the beach access, space, and amenities, this place is heaven for those looking for a quiet, private breakaway to a pristine area just off the M4. Also close enough to Ballito for shopping. The house is perfect for families wanting to relax and enjoy the view, and really does have all you need. Debra was also an excellent host, very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Spectacular Sea view Durban Presidential Penthouse
It is even better than on the pictures ! Personnel available and reactive to queries

My stay was as beautiful as the first time. My family and I love this place. We will be back next year September. Love love love it 😍 🌻

we had the most amazing holiday, I have fallen in love with Umdloti. The beach water was lovely and warm, the weather was just perfect and everywhere was so easy to get to. The apartment was just perfect, the views in the morning was to die for. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us, we loved it.

Seaside Retreat - Main house
The best holiday home we have ever been to,,, the peaceful sound of ocean waves, the view of the ocean whilst lying on the beds, the clean and spacious rooms,,,, everything was top notch

D3 Sea Lodge-by Stay in Umhlanga
We had an absolutely fantastic stay! This unit was the perfect meeting point for our group - spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out with plenty of room to relax and catch up. The lounge and dining areas were ideal for unwinding together, and we especially appreciated the brilliant BBQ facilities with enough shelter allowing us to still enjoy being outside when the weather turned. The property was also perfect for families. The front garden provided a secure space where the little ones could run around safely, while the complex’s pool and direct access to the main beach offered plenty of fun for the rest of the family. The bedrooms were generously sized and very comfortable, each with its own bathroom, which made the stay even more convenient for everyone. We highly recommend this place for family get togethers or group holidays we’ll definitely be booking again for our next family gathering!

3 Bedroom Beach Apartment near Ushaka (unit 202)
The view from the mail bedroom is beautiful but they had a cover from balcony and we could have a clear view from the sitting area. The place is beautiful

Beach Sea View Luxurious Umhlanga Apartment
Our second stay at Filip’s place. Again, great location with everything you need. Beautiful views. Filip was a great host and the apartment is perfect. Walking distance to beach, restaurants, and pubs.
