Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mtunzini

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.

Ive been coming to Umhlanga for 30 years and Jacque's place is by the far the best Ive ever stayed in - spacious, clean, right on the beach. Truly amazing, thanks!

Thank u Frank for having us. The place is beautiful and clean. Definitely coming back again

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!!

Leigh’s home is wonderful, spacious and beautifully decorated. The view from the deck into the the forest was so serene and peaceful. Leigh was a perfect host. She responded promptly thought our booking. Location of the property was perfect, close to shops and lots to do in the area for families. Thuli, the housekeeper was such a help. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Leigh’s and would definitely book again.

What a treat. Our family had a 5 star experience. Lovely white linen, beautiful decor, and furnishings. It has everything you may need. Beautiful gardens with amazing birds. Nguni Cottage was wonderful and private. We all immediately wanted to stay for longer. Thank you for your warm welcome and advice, Sebastian! We will be back.

We had never stayed in an Airbnb property before and so had no idea what to expect. However, The Lilypad surpassed anything we could have imagined. The house itself was beautiful and much bigger than it seemed in the photos and Derrick and Margi are the perfect hosts. The house is spacious and very well equipped. Even the monkeys turned up to watch us eating lunch in the garden one day. It was like a wildlife documentary in reverse! We could not believe their generosity in taking our children to the airport at 5.30am after we left! If all Airbnb properties and hosts are all like this then we are hooked.

Thank you, it was a lovely place to stay and so close to the beach

The house has amazing ocean views and the sound of the waves was a beautiful background to our stay. A few steps from the beach, we had a wonderful time.

Sublime location with wonderful sea views! We had a really super time away!

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!

What can I say except WOW! Started off the day watching the sun rise over the ocean while enjoys a wonderful cup of tea on the two chairs dedicated to Nono and Maxime. We could then walk down to Thompson Bay beach directly from the garden. When a day in the waves was over, a short walk up the steps to the outdoor shower by the pool for a quick dip then a quick braai on the amazing stainless steel braai by the pool. To end it all, going to sleep with the doors open listening to the waves crashing all night! And in the morning, Elizabeth was there to sort out our messy dishes and Russel washed off all the kids beach toys…. I can’t recommend the place enough and hope to be back next year. Thank you Denise and team, truly amazing trip xx

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.

This gem was a birder and garden enthusiast paradise. House was large for a family of 3 we didn’t even use most of the space because the outdoor space was so lovely. The birds were so chatty and cute.. but didn’t like to be photographed, we worked so hard to film the turaco and hornbill because they entertained us the most. Basics were 5 stars -> bathrooms, kitchen, beds. Easy to get relaxed and feel at home we were so comfortable . It was such luxury to have a washer after going to the beach and even when torrential storms beat down we still had power in most of the home. And the gardener and house manager were so sweet and helpful! For future guests consider the Simagaliso Safari and Imfoluzi-Hlulewe Safari as these parks although smaller than Krueger were just as impressive. You will love staying in Biancas home, I can’t wait to come back.

A comfortable, well appointed holiday home with mesmerising views over the ocean. It had everything we needed for a relaxing week's holiday. The pool is magnificent and beautifully set with the an awe-inspiring palm tree on one end (it must be the highest tree along the entire Zinkwazi ridge). It may be a long walk to the beaches, but we did not feel the need to use a car to get there at all as you get to see the neighborhood while getting some exercise. For fellow avid walkers, the beaches North or South of the village are well worth long ambling walks. The communication from Engela who runs reservations for the property was timely, accurate and helpful. Great stay!

We had an amazing stay at this gem on the Dolphin Coast! The apartment is beautiful and perfectly located—just steps from the beach and tidal pool. The sea views are breathtaking, and we loved spending time on the verandah overlooking Chakas Rock. It’s ideal for a couple or small family, with everything you need for a relaxing, self-catering holiday. The complex is safe and quiet, with restaurants just around the corner. Highly recommended for a coastal getaway!

Thank you Alex for an amazing, relaxing weekend away! Will definitely be back

Beautiful home with outstanding views of the ocean. Spacious and welcoming. Everything we needed for our family holiday.

Alan was responsive and ensured we had everything we needed, including getting us additional pots. Thank you for that. We had an amazing time. A special shout-out to Nandi, who made sure our apartment was perfectly clean throughout our stay.

Wow! What a gem! Such a beautiful place to stay, perfect location and huge beautifully decorated home with everything you need and more. Zandile, who looks after the place, is amazing and quietly attentive to everything you need. Really enjoyed our stay here, thanks Mariana 😊

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was amazing and we're super happy with everything. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay. We'll definitely be back!

Great place to stay with all the basics required especially being on a work trip

My colleagues and i loved this place . The view was amazing and communication 100%. The place was clean and knit. We really enjoyed our stay
