Pragtige uitsig en direkte toegang tot die strand was 'n groot pluspunt!

Beautiful view and direct access to the beach was a big plus!
Apartment is comfortable and has a nice sea view. The only negative was the monkeys that ransacked our apartment, right after we went to buy our groceries for the week. The bathroom window was open a crack, through which they gained entry. The damage was a bit of a dampener on our spirits.

Hi Emmerentia,
I am truly sorry about your experience with the monkeys.
However, monkey disturbances around food are a common occurrence in KwaZulu-Natal & its coastline.
This is particularly so when residences are located within large gardens, like the Santorini Estate.
As you will recall, I had warned you in my mail of the 28th of August before your departure about monkeys, as follows:
“Monkeys:
Be aware of the monkeys who are cute and funny, but at times a nuisance.
If they see food or fruits on the kitchen counter, given a chance they will slip into the apartment in a flash and run away with whatever food they can grab and, in the process, make a mess.
It is best to hide, cover or store your food in the fridge or cupboards when not in use, as well as closing the bedroom windows and sitting room sliding door when going out or to the beach.”
In closing, we should also recognise the privilege, as South Africans, to live so close to nature in our fantastic Southern African environment.
Apologies once again for the inconvenience.
Kind regards,
George

Griekeland in die hartjie van Ballito.

Greece in the heart of Ballito.
It was one of the best sea holidays. The places are beautiful and the large TV with WiFi was a hit in the evenings with the teenagers. The place is much nicer than the pictures. We will definitely go again and definitely stay longer next time.

We had a great stay!
We have 4 children and the apartment was spacious enough for all of us. The unit's bathrooms have recently been redone and are very nice and tidy. The fridge and dishwasher are brand new. A previous review from a guest stated that there was not enough cutlery/crockery, but there was more than enough! The kitchen is fully equipped. There is even an electric beater. Beautiful little garden, nice complex with lots of nice swimming pools. There is a swimming pool with a shallow pool about 10m from this apartment. The only thing that could perhaps improve is the bathroom and kitchen linen; it was washed, but some have spots/marks on them. It's also understandable, since guests don't always notice it. It won't stop us from going again. I just load my own dish towel. We would love to rent this lovely apartment again. Really value for money!

Thank you for the compliments.
Lately we noted that Ants appear on occasion, sometime seasonally.
We will try to find a slighly stronger dose of repellent, and arrange with the Cleaning Manager to apply if and when the issue props up again.

Have fun.
The owner, George, was in regular contact with us and explained everything about the accommodation nicely. We immediately felt at home and welcome. The security at the complex is excellent. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. It includes everything you could need and it borders Thompson Beach where there are lifeguards and a tide pool. We will definitely vacation here again.

Vir die prys van die eenheid, is dit veels te veel. Daar is nie eetgerei vir 'n 6-slaapeenheid nie.

For the price of the unit, it is way too much. There is no cutlery for a 6-sleeper unit.
There was no broom, some of the rooms' bedside lamps did not work. One lamp's wires protruded, which was life-threatening. Very sad that it could be such a beautiful place.

Disappointed with the review, the apartment has 3 bedrooms, not 6, as, stated, and it accommodates 6 guests. There is in fact, at all times cutlery for more than 6 guests. In fact 6 cutlery for 6+ and some items up to 12 to circumvent breakages by guests, so as to make sure that there is always more than required. Each bedroom and sitting room have side lamps in addition to mail light. There is no need to move them around and for that matter pull the side lamp cord, hence curious about this comment. Similarly, there has always been a broom in the cupboard. In any case, overseas currently, hence unable to personally check. I have asked the Cleaning Company Manager to review and address the issue if required.

Nice and comfortable and accessible for family with small children.
I have to give credit to the host/owner George. He went out of his way to make our vacation as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. The unit was not very clean, but I think the owner does his best to keep it clean within his control. The unit is comfortable with the nicest private beaches and you feel safe.
