The staff was great, location was perfect and the breakfast was just so nice 👌

The bedding could be improved upon. The bed could be more comfy. Every other offering was awesome 👌.

DID NOT LIKE. This place is more to take a prostitute. It was one off my first time bad experience. I canceled this place as soon as I entered the room. The way the images on booking.com present it is all false. And the best part i was told I will only get back 50%. That's bullshit u advertising is not worth it don't waste your time. Also u got people smoking weed and taking some kind off drugs. Guys please take my advice and don't ever book in Zimbali View Eco

Fuckup place

La vue depuis les chambres est superbe. Le personnel nous a bien accueilli. L'hébergement est bien situé, à quelques pas de la plage. Le Wifi fonctionne parfaitement.

Le mobilier et les murs mériteraient un rafraîchissement.

There was absolutely nothing I liked about the accommodation.

The place was not up to standard. It actually downgrading Ballito. The staff was not friendly at all. We didn't have electricity until 12 midnight but other guesthouse nearby had electricity and no one was explaining to us what was happening. I was really not pleased about this accommodation. I will never ever go to this guesthouse again in my life.

Disappointing

Only the ocean view

The steep driveway. The stairs leading up. No reception personal. No WiFi. Rooms were not that great. Basically I did not really enjoy my stay as maybe my expectation of a 4 star place was different to how I imagined it would be.
