Our Guest Testimonials
We've had the privilege to stay at Cheryl's apartment in Simbithi Eco Estate for a week and since day one we've only experienced good things. The communication prior to our vacation was excellent as Cheryl arranged access to the estate, sent brochures on what to do in the surrounding area, excellent directions to the apartment and a guide on how to use the appliances in the apartment. Everything ran smoothly and we were just blown away when we walked through the front door. The decor, the beautiful view of the ocean and stunning sunrises/sunsets. Tranquility at its best! We also didn't even need to pack towels as Cheryl has baskets full of beach towels and bath towels. Everything we needed was there as we walked through the door. Can't wait to visit again!

Cheryl, Your apartment is like a slice of heaven tailored made just for us. You and your accommodation exceeded our expectations in everyway. We walked in and were blown away by the beauty, space, views, cleanliness and attention to detail. Everything we needed was available in the flat, even down to beach equipment for the kids. Our weather was not always sunny, but with its location within the Simbithi Eco Estate there were Nature Trails, Fishing Dams, Swimming Pools, Wildlife or just sitting at home enjoying the seaview whilst peacefully jacuzziing on the balcony. What more could you ask for in life! Thank you for making our holiday so memorable. We will most definitely be back.
Cindy - April 2021
We found our new holiday place in Durban! Not only is Cheryl absolutely amazing as a host, her place is stunning, the views are beautiful and it has everything that you need; and some things that you didn't even know you needed 😁. We can wait to go back.
Nicolene - December 2020
This spacious, beautifully furnished apartment is what summer dreams are made of! The view was outstanding, not to mention to jacuzzi! Great amenities with lots of conveniences to use like beach chairs and bags, umbrellas and coolers. Saw lots of wildlife at sunset just casually walking/flying past our balcony. This eco estate has lots to do, even for the kiddies! What an amazing beach vibe - thank you for the memories!

The house is beautiful. Cheryl is a great host.
Lodewyk - November 2020
The unit blew us away. Spacious and beautifully furnished. The kitchen is very well equipped, even including a coffee machine and coffee pods. Cheryl is a fantastic host, who goes to extra-ordinary trouble to make the stay as memorable as possible., for example, superb quality body lotions, hand and body washes in the bathrooms. She responded quickly to any queries, providing just the right kind and amount of information. The bedrooms are well sized, in particular the master bedroom. We spent most of our time on the patio, which is well protected, enjoying the amazing sea view. Simbithi is a top class estate and we enjoyed the numerous cycle and walking opportunities available. We will definitely be back!

Gareth - September 2020
The views at this place is just incredible. It's not far from the mall. The beach is less than 5 minutes away. The apartment is clean and beautifully decorated. Safe parking. Many pools to choose from. The country club is great as well. If you're looking for a relaxing holiday where you can unwind, this is definitely the place to be. The host is extremely helpful and very quick to respond. This was our second stay at Cheryl's place and it was just as lovely as the first time, even more so!
Sebastian - August 2020
The apartment is exactly like shown on the photos. It was clean and is very well equipped. We stayed for 11 nights and it has everything one needs. The view from the apartment is breath taking as it overlooks the sea. We were able to see whales swimming past. Cheryl is well organized and provided us with clear information on everything we needed to know. The estate is very safe and absolutely beautiful. It has a number of walking trails that average 3 to 4 km each and we strongly recommend that you walk them. We were able to see monkeys and different kinds of antelopes. We tried the pizzeria on site which was very much enjoyed by our teenagers after a round of mini-golf (free). In conclusion, a nice place in a beautiful setting. Thanks Cheryl!

It was 2 weeks of pure bliss! Thank you Cheryl for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had everything we needed and more. You were truly a great host from the start up until the end of our stay.

We will definitely be back for another holiday.
Ami - January 2020
Fantastic experience! Lovely quiet, secure, safe space with beautiful views of the ocean. Close to the shops and the beach. A real treat having the jacuzzi to relax in overlooking the ocean as the sunsets. Thanks to Cheryl for the experience and I will definitely stay there again in the future!
Tania - December 2019
What can I say... Cheryl has been such an amazing host from the initial booking right up until a few days upon our return home. I cannot begin to find the right words to describe our host. The communication was top notch, the hospitality amazing, the domestic far exceeded our expectations as well and the overall dealings of our accommodation was terrific. Cheryl’s home is absolutely amazing. Extremely neat and the view is breathtaking, whether it be from the main room, the lounge, the spacious balcony or even the added spoil of a jacuzzi. The area is also very safe and secure and the information that is provided by Cheryl prior to your stay ensures that you are not just a guest in the estate, but more that of a local resident. A definite gem to stay at for your next Ballito holiday.
Nic - December 2019
Cheryl's place was great for a family breakaway. Location was perfect, close to shopping centers and a stone throwaway from beaches. The unit is spacious, modern and pride taken by the host regarding cleanliness. Cheryl was always available as a host and this made our trip so much more pleasurable. Thanks again Cheryl, we will definitely be back.
Busisa - December 2019

Spacious and luxurious space with dramatic views of the ocean and everything you need to kick back and enjoy a great holiday, located in a beautiful and secure estate, and just a few minutes drive from some of KZN's most enjoyable beaches.

Abre - September 2019
Toronto was great but this is the best airbnb. Cheryl thanks for your professional and helpful information. Until next time thanks again
Marion - September 2019
We spent a very relaxing five nights at Cheryl’s place. From the moment we walked in we knew we had made a fantastic choice . Pure luxury . We spent mornings and evenings watching dolphins and whales from the balcony or jacuzzi. The apartment is beautifully furnished and wanting for nothing. Very comfortable beds and pillows! Water pressure was great and security is very tight on the resort . We had breakfast one morning at Zara’s cafe at Ballito lifestyle centre. Highly recommend. There are also some lovely little independent shops there and a shop which sells precooked frozen food which we wish we had found earlier, it looked lovely. Our children hired surf boards from Monkey backpackers in Ballito, they were very friendly and reasonable. A short walk to Willard’s beach which is shark netted . In a nutshell there is nothing not to love about Cheryl’s place and Ballito was a very welcome end to our holiday in South Africa.
Susan - August 2019
What a fantastic place to stay! Cheryl's apartment is absolutely beautiful and is thoughtfully and thoroughly equipped with all you need to enjoy a restful and luxurious break. There are spectacular views of the sea, where we enjoyed whale and dolphin watching, as well as beautiful areas to visit locally, with a variety of local amenities to suit all ages. Cheryl provides helpful, clear information and great communication, which makes everything easy to find and access. We cannot wait to book again.
