Guest Reviews
Warmly recommended by our guests.
Loved by Ballito guests
“I shared an amazing experience here. Fantastic food, excellent service and a stay I will definitely recommend.
A welcoming coastal escape with beautiful rooms, good food and a relaxed Ballito atmosphere.
The venue was absolutely beautiful, clean and neat. Staff was very friendly. Verona is super helpful in getting us the right room as it was 5 people. The view is stunning. Beach and restaurants are around the corner. Inhouse restaurant is very nice & food tasty. We will definitely be re-booking in the future.
