    It would have been nice if there was block out blinds in the unit. We also could have used a drying rack for the wet towels and clothes after swimming. The trapdoor in the bathroom is easily ajar if there is a lot of wind and then slams shut as the windblows

    Location was perfect with a beautiful view of the ocean. The code for the lock box for the key was send to us and was very easy to access. There is undercover parking and a swimming pool in the complex. We also enjoyed talking long walks on the boardwalk. There is a lot of restaurants within walking distance.

    It is a perfect home away from home with an exceptional view. Watching the sun rise from the balcony is a must! I also loved the fact that the owner, Bash, was always in constant contact with me with regards to check in details to put our mind at ease as we travelled from a far distance. We will definitely be back here.

    What absolutely stunning views of the ocean. The place was really clean and comfortable, it was super to have everything so conveniently placed. Pools were great to cool down in, and the local restaurants are so close that you dont really need a car. The host was also great and communicated very well.

    The weather....was hoping for bright, sunny days. :-)

    From the time that the booking was made, until the time we had to check-out, Bash was with us every step of the way which made things so easy. Regularly checking if everything was in order and made an extra to effort to accommodate a last minute request. Facilities and location of unit and resort, were excellent. View from balcony is breathtaking. Would definitely book there again.

    My personal preference would have been a French press coffee maker or facilities for making filter coffee but there was instant coffee, tea etc. available so this is not really a complaint.

    Very nice ocean views and the flat was decorated in a neutral way that I enjoyed. I felt safe staying here on my own for a couple of nights after Comrades Marathon, the security staff were incredibly friendly. It was easy to get food from the restaurants/cafes/petrol station shop right outside the gate (I walked there after dark, seemed ok) but note that there is a very steep hill from the gate to the building, which I think was good for my marathon recovery but could be a bit challenging. There is a lift inside the building. The location is great because it's beautiful, calm, safe and not far from the airport. It is a bit "far" from Durban but I had no problems getting Ubers.
