Umdloti Resort - Prime Beachfront Apartment

SijuRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.
A spacious exterior view showcases a well-maintained garden with lush greenery and various plants. The house features a charming entrance with an expansive driveway, leading to both the main structure and a play area with outdoor equipment. The clear blue sky enhances the welcoming atmosphere.

Luxurious family home.

TriciaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
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)

LilyRating, 5 stars10 months ago
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!!

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.

Central Morningside-Quiet,private Garden Cottage

AltafRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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!

Cool forest, warm sea, Westbrook

ElchanetRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Mark's place is awesome - very quiet complex, well maintained and the gardens are lovely. The apartment has everything you might need (except an air-con) although that did not bother us too much as we prefer the fresh air. Mark provides emergency lighting for the load-shedding, and although there is no inverter the ambiance of the quiet complex and balcony overlooking the gardens gives us city slickers time to reflect. Overall lovely place we were very happy.
