Have stayed here before and happy with 99% of it.

In my opinion, it is a touch expensive when comparing it to other self-catering places around that area of the North Coast.

Amazing views!

A spacious unit with amazing views. In need of TLC, but what you see is what you get. Collection and dropping the key was very convenient and Christine from Prop247 was very helpful. Only complaint is that the cleaners were absent on Saturday and we had to clean the main bedroom windows to enjoy the view.

Hein thank you for the review, The windows were cleaned on Friday and we had a big storm on Friday night.

Views for days.

The apartment and Weber needs a bit of TLC, it's showing its age, but we enjoyed our stay. Collecting and dropping the key was effortless and convenient. Upon arrival we had no power, it was sorted by the property manager within a couple of hours. Great views. Just a tip, if you're planning on sharing (two small families), take additional coolers, the fridge is a tad small for 2 families, but that's nit picking. Enjoyed it!

They have so many fees that are being charged on top of the breakages fee. I feel that it shouldn't be charged separately, as guests we should be given a once-off fee to pay and they can split it among themselves.

Otherwise, the North Coast has beautiful accommodations.

Wonderlike uitsig en heerlike, rustige woonstel, kort egter bietjie TLC.

Dis 'n pragtige woonstel met 'n fantastiese uitsig! Daar is egter 'n bietjie onderhoud nodig aan klein goedjies wat swaarkry agv die see en sout. Die skoonmaakdiens was egter nie so wonderlik nie. Ons was vier dames en het dus nie regtig gemors nie, maar die vloere was bv nie gevee of gewas Saterdagoggend nie.

Amazing view and lovely, peaceful apartment, needs some TLC though.

It's a beautiful apartment with a fantastic view! However, small things that suffer from the sea and salt need a little maintenance. However, the cleaning service was not that great. We were four ladies and therefore didn't really mess up, but the floors weren't swept or washed on Saturday morning.

Woonstel het gerieflike vertrekke, hoewel die badkamers baie klein is.

Geen swartsakke vir asblik nie. Ons het nie Vrydagaand en Saterdagoggend handdoeke gehad nie. Skoonmakers het eers Saterdagoggend kas oopgesluit om handdoeke uit te haal. Nie al die bedlampies werk nie, asook van die hoofligte. Van die meubels kort TLC. Ons het elke keer gesukkel om deure na stoep oop te kry a.g.v. swak onderhoud. Laai in kombuis se voorste paneel is af. Ons was 6 volwassenes en daar was slegs 5 borde en 'n klein plastiekbak. Baie mooi uitsig oor die see.

Apartment has comfortable rooms, although the bathrooms are very small.

No black bags for trash. We didn't have towels on Friday night and Saturday morning. Cleaners only unlocked cupboards on Saturday morning to take out towels. Not all the bedside lamps work, as well as some of the headlights. Some of the furniture needs TLC. Every time we struggled to get doors to the porch open because poor maintenance. Drawer in kitchen front panel is down. We were 6 adults and there were only 5 plates and a small plastic bowl. Very nice view of the sea.

Lekker gekuier ten spyte van strande wat gesluit is.

Woonstel op mooi plek gelee - jammer dat woonstel nie goed onderhou is nie. Die woonstel is op die perfekte plek geleë. Die eienaar behoort 'n ander agentskap te kry om na sy/haar woonstel om te sien. Die agentskap het ons werklik teleurgestel. Die woonstel was nie gereed by aankoms nie - die agentskap het net skouers opgetrek. Ons moes meer as 'n uur wag voor ons kon afpak. Linne het nie by die beddens gepas nie, kussings was vuil en is aan die skoonmaker gegee om weg te gooi. Die skoonmaker is glad nie opgelei om skoon te maak nie en het ook nie die regte skoonmaakmiddels om haar werk te doen nie. Daar was baie probleme soos 'n stukkende stortdeur, stoofkas, kopstukke wat afval en andere wat gedeeltelik eers na 2 dae reggestel is. Die voorraadlys was totaal onvolledig en is so aan die agentskap genoem. Dankie egter aan die webtuiste wat hard probeer het om die probleem op te los.

Had a great time despite beaches being closed.

Apartment located in a nice location - pity that apartment is not well maintained. The apartment is located in the perfect location. The owner should find another agency to look after his/her apartment. The agency really let us down. The apartment was not ready on arrival - the agency just shrugged. We had to wait more than an hour before we could unpack. Linens did not match the beds, pillows were dirty and were given to the cleaner to throw away. The cleaner is not trained to clean at all and does not have the right cleaning products to do her job. There were many problems such as a broken shower door, stove, headboards falling off and others that were partially fixed only after 2 days. The inventory list was totally incomplete and was so mentioned to the agency. However, thanks to the website that tried hard to solve the problem.

Wow, waar begin ek. The Island 2 is regtig 'n baie lekker plek.

Dit is skoon, netjies, rustig en baie mooi. Die woonstel kyk op die see af wat dit net soveel lekkerder maak. Dit is baie naby aan die see en die winkels. Die mense wat in die woonstel kompleks bly, is baie vriendelik en gesels graag. Die prys is regtig baie goed en sal definitief weer daarna toe gaan!

It is clean, tidy, peaceful and very beautiful. The apartment overlooks the sea which makes it that much more enjoyable. It is very close to the sea and the shops.

Goed geleë, veilige en stil area, netjiese kompleks, pragtige see-uitsig, met branders op jou voorstoep! Sal weer kom kuier!

Island 2 het 'n bietjie TLC nodig, stoof moet vervang word, geroes en val uit monteerkas, skottelgoedwasser geroes aan deur, meubels nie skoon nie, sitkamer en twee geel stoele kort 'n bietjie mat-sjampoo! Daar behoort 'n dekodeerder te wees as deel van die wooneenheid. Lekker Weber gasbraai, kort diens, die branders laat net kwart gedeelte gas deur op braaier. Ons was net twee persone, dit het ons nie baie gesteur nie, 'n groter familie sal dalk gekla het! Ons het lekker gekuier!

Island 2 needs some TLC, stove needs replacing, rusted and falling out of mounting cabinet, dishwasher rusted on door, furniture not clean, living room and two yellow chairs need some carpet shampoo! There should be a decoder as part of the housing unit. Nice Weber gas grill, short service, the burners only let a quarter of the gas through on the grill. We were just two people, it didn't bother us much, a bigger family might have complained! We had a great time!

Wonderlike see-uitsig.

Ons het Maandag so net voor vier uur in Ballito aangekom. Karin van Chad het gereeld met ons gekommunikeer om te hoor hoe ons reis vorder. Karin is werklik 'n aanwins vir daardie maatskappy. Die blyplek was asemrowend, alhoewel die TV en skottelgoedwasser nie gewerk het met aankoms nie, het Karin wel gesorg dat ons die volgende dag van 'n nuwe TV-stel voorsien is. Die skottelgoedwasser het tot ons vertrek nie gewerk nie, maar Karin het gesorg dat die skoonmaker elke dag ons skottelgoed was. Ek sal wel aanbeveel dat die eienaar in die toekoms daaraan dink om 'n air con te laat installer. Ek sal ook aanbeveel dat hulle daarna kyk om die buite stoele en tafel gemakliker te maak, sodat 'n mens langer die pragtige see-uitsig kan waardeer. Ons sal beslis weer van daardie plek gebruik, aangesien daar min plekke in die land is, wat honde vriendelik is.

Wonderful sea view.

We arrived in Ballito just before four o'clock on Monday. Karin from Chad communicated with us regularly to hear how our trip was progressing. Karin is truly an asset to that company. The place to stay was stunning, although the TV and dishwasher were not working on arrival, Karin did make sure we were provided with a new TV set the next day. The dishwasher was not working until we left, but Karin made sure that the cleaner washed our dishes every day. I would recommend that the owner consider having an air con installed in the future. I would also recommend that they look into making the outside chairs and table more comfortable, so that one can appreciate the beautiful sea view for longer. We will definitely use that place again as there are few places in the country that are dog friendly.

Goeie matrasse, skoon, wit beddegoed en 'n wonderlike see-uitsig. Eet ontbyt met jou sonbril op die stoep en braai 'n tjoppie op die gasbraai. Ek beveel dit aan vir mense wat lief is om die see in hul ore te hoor woeker deurentyd.

Dit is definitief ons eerste keuse as ons ooit weer in daardie omgewing wil gaan vakansie hou. Ons het van alles gehou. Die lekker groot stoep met die asemrowende uitsig, die lekker groot en ruim leefkamer met eetkamer en kombuis. Daar is niks wat ons kan kritiseer nie.

Vreeslik lekker, dankie!

Ons het regtig baie lekker gebly en wil niks kritiseer nie, maar net ter wille van julle diensrekord sal ons die volgende paar goedjies aanbeveel: 1. Seine (MTN, Vodacom & Cell-C) is baie swak binne die woonstel en dis nogal ongemaklik. 2. 'n WiFi-fasiliteit sal groot waarde toevoeg. 3. Alles is nie in 'n werkende toestand nie, soos lugreëling, vensters wat nie kan oopmaak nie, slotte wat vashaak (geroes), ens. 4. Kry miskien so 1 keer per maand 'n skoonmaakspan om die plek ordentlik skoon te maak. 5. Die groot skuifhek was vir 'n ruk buite werking. Baie dankie dat ek hierdie punte met julle kon deel, ek hoop dit kan julle help.

Had a great time, thanks!

We had a lovely stay but we have a few suggestions: Better signal, WiFi-access, reparation of broken facilities e.g. air-con, windows that can't open, rusty locks, etc. and cleaning services at least once a month for a thorough clean. Also have a look at the big sliding gate that doesn't work properly.

Goeiemiddag Lotta

Dankie vir u resensie.
Ongelukkig is die selfoon sein baie swak, ek sal dit op die webwerf noem.
Vanaf November was die eenheid permanent bespreek en ons kon nie die nodige opknap werk doen nie. Soos genoem is dit op skedule for volgende week. Die roes bly 'n probleem by die kus en word gereeld na omgesien. Ek sal moet kyk na die skoonmaakdienste want eenheid word gereeld skoongemaak en net 2 dae voor u aankoms is 'n "spring clean" gedoen.
Ek was ongelukkig nie bewus daarvan dat die hek buite werking was nie, maar is vandag ingelig dat dit weer buite werking is en ek het dit onder die aandag van die Besturende agente gebring
Ek waardeer u aanbevelings .
Groete Karen

Skoon, netjies en pragtige uitsig, veilig en rustig.

Ons het lekker gekuier en diens was goed.

Die verblyf was aangenaam.

Ons het lekker gebly met kinders in die huis. Die leefarea is baie lekker ruim. Ons klagtes was ongelukkig meer as een: Die glase was nie voldoende nie, met slegs oorgroot koeldrank glase en geen lang- en bierglase nie. Daar is geen proppe in die badkamers se wasbakke nie, wat 'n irritasie was en glad nie waterbesparing in ag neem nie (maar die kennisgewings vir waterbesparing is orals opgesit). Die tweede kamer het geen bedlampie gehad nie. Daar is nie kragpunte by die spieëls nie (of daar is nie spieëls by die kragpunte nie). Die skoonmakers het nie die beddens weg geskuif van die muur af met die skoonmaak voor ons ingegaan het nie, aangesien ons vuil kouse en munte onder een bed gekry het toe ons hulle teen mekaar skuif. Die DSTV is nie geskik vir PVR/Explora dekodeerders nie. Ons sou 'n swakker een moes gaan koop het. Dit sal die plek baie goed doen om DSTV permanent te installeer. Gelukkig was die dame van Chas Everitt baie gaaf om hulle dekodeerder aan ons te verskaf teen geen kostes nie. Ons het lekker gebly baie dankie.

The stay was pleasant.

We had a nice stay with children in the house. The living area is very nice and spacious. Our complaints were unfortunately more than one: The glasses were not sufficient, with only oversized soda glasses and no tall and beer glasses. There are no plugs in the bathroom sinks, which was an annoyance and doesn't take into account water conservation at all (but the notices for water conservation are posted everywhere). The second room had no bedside lamp. There are no power points at the mirrors (or there are no mirrors at the power points). The cleaners did not move the beds away from the wall when cleaning before we went in as we found dirty socks and coins under one bed when we moved them against each other. The DSTV is not suitable for PVR/Explora decoders. We should have gone and bought a weaker one. It would do the place a lot of good to install DSTV permanently. Fortunately the lady at Chas Everitt was very kind to provide us with their decoder at no cost. We had a great stay, thank you very much.

Good day Madri,
Thank you for your feedback.
Apologies regarding the problems at the unit. I have attended to all the problems since your departure. I was at the unit myself on the day of your arrival and I did not even notice that the basin plugs (one was found on dining room chair) were also missing along with a number of items, even keys, which were missing from the departure that morning. The bedroom lamp had broken but has been replaced. The coffee mugs were also missing from the departure but were replaced the day of your arrival. The cleaners normally move the beds when doing an arrival and I have made them aware of this once again thank you. I am trying to get all our owners to put in DStv, and hopefully we can have this done asap. Kind Regards and hope to hear from you again soon. Karen von Wielligh

Not fully satisfied.

The fans is not working properly. I cleaned the place on a daily basis - no clearing services was needed. No plastic cups/plates available for small kids. The pots and pans are not in a very good state. Going forward I will not recommend staying at this place - stayed at number 12 before and that was absolutely better value for money. The plastic chairs on the veranda is always in the sun which means that 1 chair broke during our visit - my husband sat on the chair and it collapsed - he only weighs 72 kg. My 14 year old son cut his foot on 3 places in your swimming pool so I would suggest that you have a look at this.

Good afternoon Mari,
Thank you for your feedback.
The fans are due for the annual service next month, and we will revise the condition of pots, pans, etc.
I apologise for the black chair that broke (as per my sms to you), it was actually one of my own personal chairs that I dropped off as 2 of the white chairs were sun damaged. I am not sure why it broke as they have not been out in the sun but stored in a garage, maybe just a very weak make.
I have let the body corporate know re the communal swimming pool.
We look forward to being able to help you with accommodation in the future.
Kind Regards,
Karen von Wielligh

Die view is uitstekend.

Die binnekant het werk nodig. Die opwasbak in die kombuis is nie op standaard nie. Die hoofslaapkamer se stortdeur is nie in 'n werkende kondisie nie.

The view is amazing.

The inside needs some work. The basin in the kitchen is not up to standard. The main bedroom's shower door is not in working condition.

Thank you for your review. This flat is is being constantly upgraded and maintenance done on a monthly basis. The shower door in the second bathroom has just been replaced, but the one in the main bathroom was still fine, but will have a look and see if there is a problem. Kind Regards

Good value for money.

Good value for money; but I should have spent a little more on a place closer to the main beaches.
