Comfy and very pleasant and relaxing.

Rustige wegbreek.

Ons het so lekker gebly hier, die eenheid was mooi ingerig en privaat. Ons het ons eie stoepie gehad en gasbraaier. Dit het omtrent gevoel asof mens in 'n woud is. Dis gastehuis is baie naby die strand geleë, ons het vinnig soontoe geloop. Heinz was ook baie vriendelik en altyd behulpsaam met alles. Ons het baie tuis gevoel.

Peaceful getaway.

We had such a nice stay here, the unit was nicely decorated and private. We had our own porch and gas grill. It almost felt like being in a forest. This guest house is located very close to the beach, we quickly walked there. Heinz was also very friendly and always helpful with everything. We felt very much at home.

It was a wonderful experience, highly recommended.

I stayed with my two Maltese in the most tasteful environment. The garden is beautiful, the setting is so great that to just stay at the unit, is a relaxing experience on its own. The property offers a beautiful additional area to spend time at the pool or sit in the garden in the most stunning surroundings. Service and friendliness were outstanding! Privacy is another bonus, absolutely essential for some guests. Walking distance to the beach, and close to restaurants. Safety was immaculate, which coming from Gauteng was so peaceful. I would love to go back.

Wow, lieflike natuurskoon en oulike kuierplekkies in die tuin.

Heinz is uiters tegemoetkomend en aangenaam. Niks was te veel moeite vir hom nie. Baie dankie! Ons het ons verblyf en besoek aan Ballito terdeë geniet. Die steiltes t.o.v die oprit en parkering is vir my persoonlik stresvol. Daar is egter baie meer pros as cons. Ns: Ouer mense kan dalk sukkel met die baie trappe, maar dit het ons fikser gemaak (62 & 58 jaar oud).

Wow, lovely scenery and cute places to hang out in the garden.

Heinz is extremely accommodating and pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Thank you very much! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and visit to Ballito. The steepness in relation to the ramp and parking is stressful for me personally. However, there are many more pros than cons. Ns: Older people may struggle with the many stairs, but it made us fitter (62 & 58 years old).

Ongelukkig het die groot hotelle die seestrook opgeneem.

Al die groot strande moet jy in die pad parkeer en alles afdra onder toe op sulke lendelam houtpaadjies. Geensins rolstoelvriendelik. By Beach Forest Lodge is Sarah en haar span puik. Die eenheid is silwerskoon. Ons 2 hondekinders kon saamkom. Sal definitief Beach Forest Lodge met die grootste plesier aanbeveel.

Unfortunately, the big hotels have taken up the seaside strip.

All the big beaches you have to park in the road and carry everything down on such loin-lam wooden paths. Not at all wheelchair friendly. At Beach Forest Lodge, Sarah and her team are great. The unit is spotless. Our 2 dog children could come along. Would definitely recommend Beach Forest Lodge with the greatest pleasure.

Hi Betsie! Thanks for your review, it was a little unfortunate that there were a couple of days of unseasonable rain whilst you were here. I so enjoyed meeting you and the doggies and am so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. Ballito is built up on the beachfront but we love our wooden walkways which allow you to walk the length of the beaches. Some did have a little damage during the floods which may still need some small repairs but they are all certainly still very walkable. We hope that you will return to Beach Forest Lodge again in the future! Warm regards, Sarah

The owner, Sarah communicated with me directly via WhatsApp, which makes you feel valued and welcome. Sarah met us upon arrival herself, showed us to the unit and explained everything in detail, she even told us of a couple of nice restaurants which we visited. No picking up and dropping off of keys from a designated location, which is a welcome change. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again. Thanks again for everything.

Baie mooi en ontspanning woud-atmosfeer.

Baie rustige omgewing. Lekker swembad en braai-area. Klein, maar alles wat jy nodig het in die eenheid. Kon ongelukkig nie die lugversorging gebruik met die sonkrag nie. Die kamer is baie warm omdat dit 'n betondak het. Die eienaar is baie gasvry.

Hi Wilhelm,
Thank you for your review of Beach Forest Lodge. We always appreciate the fact that people take the time to review us.
The second swimming pool that you refer to has been closed for many years. I think that you came many years ago when it was Ballito Forest Lodge, before I bought it in 2015. Unfortunately, that pool was in a bad state of disrepair when I bought the property, there were water restrictions, so we were unable to repair or fill it due to this.
We always welcome everyone's children and love having families to stay. We just have a quiet time before 07h00 in the mornings for the consideration of all guests.
Warm regards, Sarah.

Dit was werklik 'n plesier om by Beach Forest Lodge tuis te gaan. Meeste besoekers sal kan beaam dat Sarah 'n fantastiese gasvrou is wat persoonlik betrokke is - 'n aanduiding hiervan is in die vorm van haar kuns wat in ons eenheid te vinde is. Dis goed geleë en ons het sommer baie tuis gevoel.

Pragtige, netjiese, skoon plekkie!

Pragtige skoon eenheid wat baie prakties ingerig is. Sharon is perfekte gasvrou en doen baie moeite om jou te laat tuis voel. Die tuin en ontspanningsarea is asemrowend. Ons het baie lekker gebly en sal beslis weer hier bly.

I enjoyed my stay at Beach Forest Lodge, the place is a bliss.

Sarah was very welcoming and friendly. She made sure that we were well settled and was there when we needed anything. She even went as far as checking up on us while traveling to Beach Forest Lodge and told us to expect some traffic as there was major delays on the highway due to a shoot out that happened earlier. It was a pleasure staying at her establishment and I would recommend it to family and friends when visiting Ballito.

Alles was perfek en dit is die beste waarde vir geld wat ek nog gevind het.

Lodge is in loopafstand van die strande en 'n paar lekker eetplekke en 'n Spar. Bietjie verder is die nuwe Mall, Ballito Junction, groot en modern. Die lodge is "self catering" - alles wat nodig is, is in die verblyf-eenhede wat ook baie stylvol, skoon en netjies vertoon. Die lodge lyk presies soos dit op die foto's geadverteer word. Stil en rustige omgewing, kan ook heerlik ontspan langs die swembad. Uitstekende kliëntediens en Sarah (eienaar) is baie vriendelik en ek het waarlik tuis gevoel. Ek sal Beach Forest Lodge ten hoogste aanbeveel.

Everything was perfect, best value for money ever.

Lodge is walking distance from the bachers, a few nice eateries, and Spar. The new mall, Ballito Junction, is a bit farther, large and modern. The lodge is self-catering - everyhting you need in the units, also stylish, clean and neat. The lodge looks exaclty like the pics on the advertisement. Quiet, peaceful area, you can just relax next to the pool. Outstanding customer service and Sarah (owner) is very friendly and I really felt at home. I can recommend Beach Forest Lodge highly.

Fantasties.

Sarah, die eienares het ons met soveel vriendelikheid ontvang. Ons het van O.R. Tambo ingevlieg King Shaka toe en was 2 ure voor ons tyd wat ons mag ingeboek het. Sy het net gesê ons moet deurkom en inboek. Die eenheid was netjies en veilig. Nabygeleë restaurante wat dit ook fantasties maak. Hoogs aanbevole.

In the forest @ home.

Beach Forest Lodge is voorwaar 'n juweel as jy lekker privaat wil ontspan met al die ander geriewe rondom jou. Sarah is voorwaar 'n gasvrou duisend en laat jou nog meer tuis voel. Dit is lekker naby alles en lekker omgewing as jy wil bietjie stap verkenning doen. Kan dit hoog aanbeveel.

Nice garden and surroundings, but lacks a sea view - nice stay.

The place is nice, no sea view - unfortunately the room has little ventilation and it causes a bit of a musty smell. The picture of the stairs with the sea is confusing - makes you think it is by the sea. Sarah very hospitable and helpful.
