CHCO58 - 50m to the beach! - Perfect Beachside Family Holiday

The easy access to the beach and the unit had everything we needed!

Nothing!

Loved the location. The beach is fantastic and such easy access from this unit. Beautiful view of the sea. The Kitchen is well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Apartment was beautifully clean.

It is nice and comfortable. Very well equipped, it has everything you expect in a home and more. Kitchen utensils were more than enough, even comes with an air fryer which I did not expect. Had enough dish soap and swabs which I really appreciated even though there is a dishwasher. I even spotted a beach umbrella, which was a first for me in a vacation home. The property is well maintained even on the outside, beautiful yard - exactly as on the pics. It is a short walk to the beach and there are nice coffee shops around. The host, Gillian, was very responsive and always available on the phone. She sent communication from the morning on the day of check in which made everything convenient. We had a really great experience and would go back there anytime

Keys are collected from a service station in outer Ballito, luckily not out of the way if coming from Durban. The property was comfortable, and did not absorb the worst of the heat/sun as it was well positioned. The shower was nice and powerful. Beds were comfortable. Beach, pool, and nearby Salt cafe were all very close and easy to get to. There were some nice touches missing in other places I've stayed, such as a stand to hang out wet towels/costumes to dry.

Felt the property could have been checked better, the kettle was not working which I only discovered late at night, the sliding door was off its runner and very hard to open until we realised the problem and the fridge door was missing a shelf. However, the agency was very responsive and delivered a kettle next day and apparently a fridge shelf is on order. We had some bad luck in that there was a power failure from the first morning of our stay which lasted for 17 hours. It affected the whole area. When the power came back late in the evening unfortunately the Salt cafe which is just across the road from the unit did not get their power back. They ran an extremely noisy generator for the next 2 days which was stationed on the road outside and ran from 4am to 9pm daily meaning I got woken up at 4am. None of this is the fault of the property but obviously it affected our stay and was annoying after you have paid school holidays prices. Their power came back just before we left! I did not appreciate a WhatsApp from the agency saying 'please give us a glowing 10 star review and we will do the same for you' - come on guys, this is not ok. I will give a fair review and expect the same.
