I would recommend this unit to everyone.

The unit is beautifully laid out and has everything that is needed to have a relaxing holiday. The communication between all stakeholders from booking to cleaning services was very easy and helpful.

Love the place. It is a clean and upmarket apartment with loads of things to do.

What a fantastic weekend. We had loads of fun with the family. Peaceful and tranquility. Feels like home away from home. Everything was so neat and cosy.

Best location. Large unit that can easily accommodate 3 couples.

When it rains, it drips on the patio roof and spills into the back room. Unit urgently needs aircon!

Tontiki het ons vakansie gered. Fantasties.

Tontiki het ons vakansie gered! Ek het oorspronklik 'n plek in Westbrook bespreek. Toe ons daar aankom, was die plek glad nie op standaard nie. Ek het dadelik Tontiki in Ballito gevind wat vir ons slaapplek gehad het. Sjoe, wat 'n verligting toe ons by Tontiki aankom - netjies, silwerskoon en net pragtig. Ons hele gesin was so gelukkig. Dankie Tontiki dat julle ons vakansie 'n 5 ster vakansie gemaak het. Ons familie sal definitief weer volgende jaar in Tontiki bly.

Tontiki saved our holiday! I originally booked a place in Westbrook. When we got there, the place was not up to standard at all. I immediately found Tontiki in Ballito who had accommodation for us. Wow, what a relief when we arrived at Tontiki - neat, clean and just beautiful. Our whole family was so happy. Thank you Tontiki for making our holiday a 5 star holiday. Our family will definitely stay in Tontiki again next year.

Very safe, clean and comfortable. Home away from home.

We had booked in for my granddaughter's birthday. We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was very neat and tidy with all the necessities of home, even hand wash in each bathroom. We had friends (who were in another complex, down the road from us) stop over with their 2 kids and they too were impressed with the unit. Most impressive was that Greg, the manager, was very helpful, checked that we had received all our details and furnished us with further details that we had required. I will certainly recommend this unit to family and friends and would like to go back. Just one question I had was why was there no cleaning service on Saturday?

Dit was gemiddeld.

Die eienaar sal dalk na die volgende moet kyk: Die stoof se plate is erg geroes. Die oond trek uit die kas uit. Die 2 toilette se water hou aan loop al trek mens die handvatsel op. Daar is nie 'n vuurpyltjie bord nie. Daar was nie een dag iemand om skoon te maak soos adverteer word nie. Omdat daar niemand kom skoonmaak het nie, was daar nie voldoende toiletpapier in die eenheid nie. Die kompleks se hekmotor werk ook nie, mens moet hek self oop en toe maak. Buiten vir dit het ons heel lekker gebly, die nodigste is daar en die lugversorger in die hoofslaapkamer help baie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

It was average.

The owner may need to look at the following: The stove's plates are badly corroded. The oven pulls out of the cabinet. The 2 toilets' water keeps running even if you pull the handle. There is no rocket board. There was not one day someone to clean as advertised. Because no one came to clean, there was not enough toilet paper in the unit. The complex's gate motor doesn't work either, you have to open and close the gate yourself. Apart from that we had a very nice stay, the essentials are there and the air conditioner in the master bedroom helps a lot.

Dear Monique,thank you for the review. I'm sorry that your stay was not up to standard. Unfortunately living on the coast there is a problem with metal products rusting. They do still work perfectly well. The toilets have been attended to. Apologies for there not being a dart board there. It was broken by a previous tenant and I have not been able to find a replacement as yet. It is a kid friendly dart board and not stocked everywhere. Apologies for the cleaning service not coming in I have addressed this with them. However as a self catering unit we supply a few items on check in but once used the tenants purchase more themselves. The gate motor had to be fixed by the body corporate and is a bit beyond my control I apologise for this inconvenience. I would like you to return and have a better experience. Please accept an offer of 50% off your next stay over the same seasonal period.

19 Tontiki offered everything holidaymakers at the coast require.

The flat is suitably equipped and designed and provided a bright cheerful ambience. The owner was kind and courteous in all communications. The view was good even though it was only side views, it still provided the scenery of a coastal holiday. Parking was safe and adequate, only recommendation is that a second set of keys be provided. Will definitely recommend to others. Thank you Greg for an awesome stay!

For a long vacation it is not worth it.

The gas grill was so dirty we had to clean it ourselves and buy stuff so we could get the grease and dirt off. then half of the gas grill's stuff doesn't even work. Aircon in the master bedroom only worked one day. and along the coast it is a necessary thing to have seen that there were elderly people with us. Cleaning services only came in to clean 2 days out of the 5 days

Gerieflik.

Ons het dit geniet, maar die plekkie benodig 'n goeie skoonmaak in die sitkamerstel en braai-area. Ons kon glad nie die braai-area gebruik nie. Ons kon ook nie ons klere in die kaste stoor nie, want dit het 'n baie diep mufreuk. Ons sal sê die plekkie moet 'n bietjie meer aandag kry van die eienaar, want dit kan 'n juweel wees vir vakansiegangers vorentoe.

Comfortable.

We enjoyed it, but the place needs a good cleaning in the lounge set and braai area. We could not use the braai area at all. We also couldn't store our clothes in the closets because they have a very deep musty smell. We would say the place needs a little more attention from the owner as it could be a gem for vacationers going forward.
