Love Ballito and actually planning to retire there.

Ballito is a very, very nice place to stay. The kids loved the tidal pools. The weather was also good.

Ballito is a wonderful place!

Ballito has been our KZN holiday destination since 2003. Although the town is growing, it has become rather unkept over the years. The kids still enjoy the beaches and the Lifestyle Centre. It is ideally located for the trips to Sibaya, Ushaka International, Moses Mabida Stadium etc. We have however never been disappointed with the accommodation - Villa Jaime is indeed a hidden secret in Ballito! What a blissful time we had.

beautiful area with lots of potential

The restaurants in Ballito cannot handle the volumes. Does cause frustration!!??

Great range of restaurants and nightlife, super-friendly people, awesome beaches. It can get really really hot, so take lots of sunblock!

Ballito keeps on growing and is well run.

Ballito forest lodge was very accommodating. I enjoyed my stay and hope to return in the near future

It's a wunderful apartment and we really enjoyed our stay. For us, it is the most beautiful place on the whole beach. We also saw dolphins. If we come back to Ballito, this address will be the first, which we requests are. Thanks a lot. Andrea and Ivo, Switzerland

Was my first time in the Durban area and my husband and i travelled to many of the different places and Ballito is def the best. Everyone was very friendly the beaches were very clean. We also would like to buy a property here, again i think that says it all. I would recommend anyone to go to Ballito if you have children or not.

I want to buy a place in Ballito. I'm sure this says it all

Beautiful Beaches & great people,excellent restuarants,shops & gr8 fishing & golf

Balito is a very beatiful place, I liked the people, they are very kind, the food is very good, it is a quiet and paceful place where you can rest and ear the birds singing.I was impressed with the market , there was many fruits I didn't believe when I saw that peolple leave their products and nobody take it! is a something that unbelieve in nowdays.

Always warm weather, friendly people and affordable. a lot of my friends go there.

Balito has grown into a holiday destination with shopping, good restaurants and great entertainment especially in December. There are many places were people can meet at night clubs and restaurant/bars. There is a lot of activities in the area such as boating,fishing, golf clubs,caravan sites,hotels and microlighti flying. My family enjoy going were there are all the above but also not as commercial and crowded as Unhlanga

Ballito is the place to be for you dream vacation. Quite, tranquil and clean. The best and fastest people to do your bookings is Safari Now!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I enjoyed Ballito very much. You can still find amazing unique restaurants on the sea front and have a stroll on the beach afterwards. This is quite an accomplishment in South Africa. Would recommend it to anyone that is reading this.

Ballito was great every afternoon my wife and now 3 year old walked on the beach and you could see the dolphins surfing the waves it was really a 1st for me and something i will always remember...it was also my babies 1st coastal vacation,definately will plan more in the future..

Ballito is a premier tourist destination on the North Coast of KwaZulu Natal. Exquisite white apartments shining on a hill, overlooking the Indian Ocean, remind of Mykonos and Santorini in Greece! The beaches are wide and accessible and the CBD consists of numerous shops and restaurants. Ballito is approximately a 25 minute drive from the Gateway Shopping Center in Umhlanga. Can't wait to visit again!

I just love Ballito, me and my family goes about twice a year there. And everything is just amazing, the people, the beaches accommodation...We always use SafariNow to book and always have a pleasant stay whenever we come to Ballito.

My family have been going to Ballito since I was a little girl. Now, with a family of my own, we still go back to Ballito every year for our weekend and yearly getaways. Even though Ballito have expanded and changed a lot in the past few years, I will always treasure Ballito for the memories, not to mention the relaxed enviroment and the clean beaches.

Ballito is a beautiful place and we will certainly return in the future.

Going to Ballito is always a win! beautiful beaches, soft breezes and friendly people. We go there at least once a year from Cape Town and always leave with a heavy heart. The Lifestyle Centre is awesome and offers everything for the discerning traveller. There are always great shows around school holidays and the events on the beaches are for everyone. We were at the Mr Price Pro this year and it was fantastic and experienced the live shows on the beach in the evenings

Ballito is a precious jewel and the north coast's best kept secret! Only a few minutes north of Umhlanga, it offers a stunning coast line with many secrets to discover.

Quite, safe and the place to be for unwinding

I am going to Ballito for honeymoon, they have got the best beach and wonderfull shops to visit. The lodges are also very beautifull with excotic sea views. The locals are very friendly and always willing to help. I would highly recommend Ballito for a holiday and honeymoon.

Stunning place - lovely and sedate but within an easy drive of top restaurants and facilities. Will go back again and again!

I was completely blown away by the tranquility, staff friendliness and great food. The environment is very relaxed and makes for the wonderful getaway! I'm certainly going back again as i think its got a lot to offer.

I just LOVE Ballito. It is the best place to be for your holiday. The beaches and even the town are immaculate. And it is one of the places where the people are so friendly. This is my permanent holiday destination.

Arrive at Ballito and your troubles disappear as you take in the beautifull sea air, swim in the amazing beaches, walk along the fantastic beach path, eat at the many restuarants are greeted by the friendly people. A holiday destination not to be missed fit for the rich and famous!!

We'll keep going back. Lots to do for us and the kids.

I love my holidays there, wonderful place to relax and enjoy, I feel I have a very short time when I am there and wish that it would last for ever. I will go back again when the accommodation isn't to expensive.

A lovely stunning place!!! With the best shop!! We had a awesome holiday

Had an Awesome vacation in Ballito!! Cant wait to go back!!

The only holiday destination where it's home away from home... you will not find anything better than Ballito. give it a try and i guarantee you will come back each and every year !

Ballito is wonderful! Lovely weather and lovely beaches. Close enough to Durban to go to the sights and shops there. And a lovely game lodge just outside called Rain Farm. With a good selection of restaurants.

Ballito is the perfect destination for a holiday as everything is close together making it very convenient for holiday makers. It is small enough not to be to busy, but big enough to have a good vibe which makes it the ideal place. The weather is good with many activities for the whole family.

Love it!! Stunning stunning place. Would love to spend another holiday there.

Hi I'm Lynette and we've had some good accommodation through Safari Now, it's easy to find affordable accommodation and lots more. Our stay at Absolute Magic in Ballito was awesome the accommodation was good and we had a blast.

Hi, I’m Jaime Ernst from Ville Jaime in Ballito. Ballito is best known for its Endless Summers, Golden beaches, breath taking sunrises and regular sightings of the bottlenose dolphins that use our coastline as their playground. Fabulous Golf courses, mountain biking trails, quad biking adventures make sure that their is something to keep everyone busy Get your picture taken at the Mr Price Pro Surfing Competition that takes place yearly on our beaches. The best family pictures can be taken at Willard Beach while you enjoy frolicking in the waves or building sandcastles on the beach. Other happy snaps can be taken whilst having fun on the zipline or high above the skies as you enjoy a micro light flight and take in all that Ballito has to offer from the air. When the weather’s good, I like to have sundowners and pizza on the beach When the weather’s bad, I like to visit one of the many wonderful spa’s to relax and be pampered. I think the best time of year to visit is April, because of the wonderful . My favourite breakfast spot is Zara’s at Lifestyle. For lunch, I suggest Sage Cafe My favourite restaurant is Mozambik, try the Calamari and their stuffed olives. They are out of this world. Best late night snack from Hops. My favourite WIFI hot spot is BBM Cafe. For a night out on the town try Shakers. If you want to meet locals, go to Karibu Pub Ballito’s best kept secret is Rainfarm for divine game drives. My favourite thing to do with friends is have a pedicure and cocktails at Canelands Beach Club. For some live music I like to go to the Wine and Jazz hosted monthly by Hotel Izulu. To relax and restore my soul, I like to go to the Green Room . If you’re feeling adventurous, try one of the mountain biking trails at Holla Trails. My favourite walk is on the promenade and my favourite drive is along the M4 leading into Ballito so that I can enjoy the beautiful views of the sea. My favourite clothing shop is White Summer. My favourite Dolphin watching spot is Gianni’s Restaurant. If you’re here in July, join in the fun at the Mr Price Pro or the Prawn and Jazz Festival. My favourite museum is Luthuli Museum. Check out the history of KZN. Travelling with children? A fun outing is definitely Sage Cafe. Mom and Dad can relax and have a coffee and a bite to eat while your children explore the various activities available to keep them entertained. Best cheap and cheerful outing is Karibu. When money’s no object, I like to have lunch at the Fairmont Hotel. My favourite weekend getaway is the Drakensberg or Hlulhwe both of which are an easy 2 hours drive away from our beautiful hometown. I give back to the community heading up the Ballito and KZN Cancer Support network. Helping people with the shock of diagnosis, journey through chemo and caring for the terminally ill. Other: Ballito is the Hottest place to Work, Live and Play I ♥ Ballito because is HOT !!!

I have lived in many parts of SA - Ballito is the best. It has the best climate, has enough going on to keep you busy yet is small and peaceful!!! The sea is the warmest and cleanest in SA, there are good restaurants, beach and bike trails, a great mall, leafy suburbs and atmosphere.

Ballito is a pretty coastal town on the North Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal. Ballito boasts beautiful beaches set alongside fields of sugarcane and enjoys humid, warm weather most of the year. Ballito lies in the heart of the Dolphin Coast and conveniently situated close to world renowned golf courses and also the majestic Drakensberg mountains, a couple of hours drive way. Willard Beach is the main beach and has Blue Flag status as well as having life guards on duty seven days a week. The waters of Ballito are alive with bottlenose dolphins and are visible all year round, as well as having perfect surfing conditions Ballito is also a popular fishing spot. Princes Grant, Tinley Manor and Umhlali are quaint little towns close by and are well worth a visit. Ballito has numerous fine restaurants catering for all tastes as well as the fast food outlets. King Shaka international airport is approx 12kms away making this an ideal destination for overseas and local visitors alike :)

Ballito is vibrant, lively, up and coming, and the best place to be. Great beaches, relaxed atmosphere, classy friendly people. Great weather and lots of activities.

A wedding got us there and what a beautiful surprise. Close to the airport, beautiful beaches, wonderful accommodation and very friendly people.

Great beaches, swimming, restaurants and entertainment for families (especially the Sage Restaurant in Umhlali) and great infrastructure (Woolies, Spar... for everything that a family may need). Even more convenient now that the King Shaka Airport is operational.

Although a beach town, Ballito has all modern amenities nearby. The shopping for food and even clothing was more than adequate. It was quiet even during the Easter break with quite a few guests. The water was rough but warm and great fun. The rather limited swimming areas was a bit disappointing, but the strong currents probably explain this.

I have always loved the Dophin Coast. Ballito is clean and friendly.

It was awesome. The people were very friendly. The beach is beautiful but I did not like swimming here because it was a bit rocky.

Quiet and safe area.

Clean. Family time. Fantastic place.

A beautiful scenery and wonderful beaches. A lovely place to unwind by the beach.

I have been coming to Ballito regularly for a number of years. Usually we stay at Zimbali Lodge which I love. This time we stayed at the Dolpin Rock Guest House which was excellent and had stunning views. I enjoy the Lifestyle Centre as well as the charity shop for books and magazines.

Friendly people, nice beaches and wonderful service. What a lovely place to visit. I wish I could live there!

We were in Ballito to make hospital visits, but were able to find everything we needed easily.

Ballito is calm and peaceful and close to all the tourist attractions. El Pescatore restaurant is a wonderful little restaurant with a great sea view. The owner is delightful and adds that personal touch. I highly recommended the restaurant; the food is stunning.

Access to the beach is a bit restricted but on the other hand the walkway along the beach is very accessible to everyone - old and young. Very good tourist maps and assistance to travellers.

Ballito is our favourite KZN destination. The beaches are clean and safe and the weather is always great. We always try to go to Ballito at least twice a year.

We enjoyed Ballito 100%. Has wonderful things to do, for both adults and kids. The Pumkin Theatre was wonderful; we watched the show on Saturday night and the whole family enjoyed it. The Water Berrie coffee shop was a lovely treat. The Pottery Gallery was also a great stop. We would love to do it again along with the Flag Farm. The shopping centers are also wonderful. Had everything we were looking for. The beaches are so lovely and clean with such nice rocks all over. We will definitely be back.
