Alles en nog meer tot jou beskikking. Dit was onvergeetlik lekker gewees.

Baie lekker by Ruby Sands gebly, skoon, netjies, en alle geriewe is beskikbaar.

Die huis is volledig ingerig, en in 'n stil area geleë, en wel gerieflik naby aan die strand. Die diens was puik, en gediens. Die huis is veilig met alarmstelsels, en die gerief van solar vir die noodsaaklike ligte, en ander elektroniese toebehore. Baie lekker daar gebly.

Very nice stay at Ruby Sands, clean, tidy, and all amenities are available.

The house is fully furnished, and located in a quiet area, yet conveniently close to the beach. The service was great, and serviced. The house is secure with alarm systems, and the convenience of solar for the essential lights, and other electronic accessories. Very nice stay there.

This was the best place we ever had before. Lyndie.

Lyndie, her husband, and Tanash were brilliant. Everything was there and working. What a wonderful place to stay at. We immediately felt at home and were sad to leave. Thank you so much, Lyndie and team. We will definitely go back. Didn't need to worry about load shedding.

The 1st authentically pet-friendly beach getaway ever.

From the moment of arrival to the moment of departure and even before and after that, our experience with Lyndie, Sergio and Tinashe was phenomenal. Walking in to the property was a delight with an amazing view of the ocean both from the driveway and from the covered patio area. Apart from being stocked with more than the comforts of home including a detailed and proactive security system, we found the most incredible welcome basket and supplies basket for our little pooch who loved his holiday home as much, if not more, than we did. We can't wait to go back and have definitely found our beach getaway spot for the future.

Hello Jessica. Thank you for being awesome guests and for the stunning pics you sent me. I am so happy you had an awesome stay with us. We are looking forward to your return visit with us.

Wat 'n heerlike plek om te bly. Dis stap-afstand van winkels, eetplekke en die strand.

Lyndie en haar man het ons baie goed verwelkom en baie tuis laat voel. Die hele huis is baie goed ingerig wat die vakansie baie aangenaam maak en ook met nodige veiligheid. Pragtige braai-area en lekker kuierplek op die stoep (met see-uitsig) en by swembad. Ons kon ons 2 klein hondjies saamneem en alles is ook selfs mooi ingerig vir hulle.

What a lovely place to stay. It's walking distance from shops, eateries and the beach.

Lyndie and her husband welcomed us very well and made us feel very much at home. The whole house is very well furnished which makes the holiday very pleasant and also with necessary safety. Beautiful braai area and nice place to hang out on the stoep (with sea view) and by the pool. We were able to take our 2 small dogs with us and everything was even nicely arranged for them.

Dit is lekker rustig en die eienaars is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ons week by Ruby Sands was baie lekker, het gerus, na die see geluister en was bederf. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en as ons iets nodig gehad het het hulle dadelik gereageer. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan bly.

Awesome lekker vakansie.

Ek sal definitief weer terugkeer Ruby Sands toe! Soos almal sê, dit voel soos jou eie huis weg van die huis af maar net baie lekkerder! Daar was als en nog meer, niks het ons gekort nie! Awesome personeel en awesome eienaars! Ons was elke oggend so lekker bederf, ook met 'n eet-ding, Ruby Sands gaan werklik die ekstra myl om jou tuis te laat voel en huiwer nie om te bederf of te help nie! Bespreek jou vakansie gerus hier by Ruby Sands, julle sal nie spyt wees nie! Wens ons kon langer bly! Sien julle gou weer Ruby Sands.

Book your holiday here at Ruby Sands, you won't regret it! Wish we could have stayed longer! See you soon Ruby Sands.

Absolute blissful experience. The owners are such lovely, warm and friendly people and you can see that it rubs off on their friendly, competent staff. This was genuinely a treat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our dream is to return one day as a family, hopefully not in too distant future. I would really advise your place to anyone.

Pragtige, gerieflike vakansiehuis met alles wat die hart kan begeer!

Ruby Sands het net mooi alles, mooi uitsig, goeie ligging vir stap, see en winkels en is uitstekend toegerus. Die eienaars en staf was baie behulpsaam - en met vars gebak elke dag! Die huis is silwerskoon, die swembad lekker groot, die braai-areas en die stoep is ruim - ons wou nie huis toe gaan nie. Hoogs aanbeveel.

Beautiful, comfortable holiday home with everything the heart could desire!

Ruby Sands has just about everything, nice view, good location for walking, sea and shops and is excellently equipped. The owners and staff were very helpful - and with fresh baked goods every day! The house is spotlessly clean, the swimming pool nice and big, the braai areas and the veranda are spacious - we didn't want to go home. Highly recommended.

Het alles gehad wat ek by die huis ook sou nodig kry.

Wat 'n heerlike vakansie by Ruby Sands! Die huis bevat alles wat mens sal nodig kry, en om 'n skottelgoedwasser en wasmasjien te hê was ook ideaal. Ons het elke oggend as die huishulp ingekom het iets lekkers gekry om te eet, en die kinders was elke dag opgewonde daaroor. Baie dankie aan almal van Ruby Sands vir 'n baie aangename tyd, ek kan dit werklik aanbeveel!

Had everything I would need at home too.

What a lovely holiday at Ruby Sands! The house contains everything one would need, and having a dishwasher and washing machine was also ideal. We got something nice to eat every morning when the maid came in, and the children were excited about it every day. Many thanks to everyone at Ruby Sands for a very enjoyable time, I can really recommend it!

Long overdue holiday.

Lyndie, thank you so much for allowing us to rent your beautiful home over the January period! It's a home away from home! Thank you so much to Tanashe and Faith as well for keeping all spotlessly clean. I have no complaints at all. We absolutely loved it - from the warm welcome on arrival (and the day was so hot!), to the treats everyday, to the lovely rainy days, to all of the extras provided by you (beach towels, umbrella, chairs), until the day we left - we felt spoilt and will for sure recommend Ruby Sands to all who is looking for a place in Ballito for their family holiday!
