Find Hotels in Ballito, South Africa

The shuttle service in to Ballito, shopping centers was good Both breakfast and dinner buffet was good A nice Wine bar with a nice view over the sea and a good Caesar salad. First we got rooms without balcony , and when we were there it was a bad weather, raining and thunder a lot so we asked for rooms with balconys so that we didn't have to be inside. We got 2 rooms with balconys , but one room had a bad smell, like someone had smoked there before. My son have asthma and couldn't stay there. But we had that feeling that we didn't want to "give more problem" We already got help to have rooms with balconys so we didn't want to go there one more time to ask for one more new room. Me and my husband stayed in that room. And we appreciate that we could sit outside. Our last day we asked for late check out and finally we got one of the rooms up to 2 a clock We appreciate that so much We had very good service to first have rooms with balconys and then could have the late checkout.

We really enjoyed spending the weekend at Canelands Beach Club. The room was nice, we booked one room with view to the back, the bed was very comfortable, nice bathroom. The Staff was friendly and helpful but not always very fast in serving. The terrasse is amazing for diner time. The access and view to the beach is amazing .The only point that disappointed me was the cleanliness of the pool, on Sunday (we stayed on a weekend), it looks like they didn’t even clean it, it was not so clear and we could see a lot of small particles floating. Apart from this I was happy of my stay and will go back

This place is a hidden gem at ballito beach, looking from the outside you don't manage to see how charming is this small hotel with a very nice french style. The breakfast was amazing, with different hot options, and serving fresh products and fruits, and helped by very helpfull and nice staff. The hotel is a 5 min walking distance to Salt rock beach which is one of the best in Ballito in my view, and they can lend you all beach umbrellas and chairs. And also, been at same time very close located to other beach spots, or main mall areas. The complex has a nice pool and very peaceful garden in the back, and they even have all Braai/Barbacue equipment that you can borrow and have a nice dinner at the garden

The hotel is just off the north coast highway at Ballito, some 50km from Durban. It is visible from the highway, which is an advantage as it is easy to find, and I was impressed by the fact that highway noise was virtually non-existent in the hotel. The reception was warm and friendly, the room was very comfortable (particularly the bed!) and my only gripes were a somewhat noisy air-conditioner and a restricted number of TV channels. Some may find the location 'interesting' - the sea is over the hill, and instead the hotel is in an industrial estate. The view at breakfast of a fork-lift moving pallets of bricks was - well, different!

We stayed in this hotel on our honeymoon. This was the last stay of our three week holiday and this 5-star hotel did not come close to the other hotels we stayed it and this was mainly down to the staff. It felt like the staff thought they did not have to make an effort because the hotel was in an amazing location. It was truly beautiful but when the staff are not nice or helpful this takes the shine from the rest. The staff did not even congratulate us on our marriage even though it was written on the booking, all other hotels congratulated us and some gave us a bottle of champagne (I don't drink but the token was nice) or a free desert with our meal or made us heart shaped pancakes for breakfast. It is just an acknowledgement which is nice. This was out longest stay of the trip, 5 nights. It was such a pity because all the foundations are there to make this a 5 star experience, I really hope that management make sure staff are trained to bring this hotel experience up to the level it should be. We saw staff showing potential investors around and they were falling over the investors and wining and dining them, if they even put a fifth of that effort into normal clients and by that I mean in manners not in freebies it would have been a very different experience. One final point, the walk way down to the beach had some dangerous blocks and it looked to be a subsidence issue, these were quite dangerous and need to be fixed. Final positive comment, the breakfast here is excellent, I am not a breakfast fan but both of us really enjoyed the breakfast here.
