One of the units we stayed in, if not the best.

This is one of the best units we have stayed at since we can remember. The unit is extremely well equipped, and it's obvious that the owners equipped the unit as if they themselves will be staying there. The unit itself has an open design and is tastefully designed. It has everything that you will need: a proper stove, washing machine, air fryer, microwave, 2 fridges, and 1 freezer providing ample space for your perishables. There's cutlery galore, you can even bake a cake as all the mixers and utensils are provided in the cupboards. Plates, cups, and glasses are not skimped on, and there are binoculars, puzzles, books, a radio, hairdryers, gas and charcoal braai. The list goes on. You literally only have to bring yourself and your clothes. The veranda is large, with a section under roof and an open section to bask in the sun, nice couches, and a large table to enjoy the open air and the sea. The unit is right on a little magical piece of beach, with a lifesaver on duty during our stay, and a very large rock pool called Charlie's pool on the beach as well. In fact, the accommodation is a real gem, nearly a hidden one, as this must be one of the nicest places, feeling nearly like a private beach. Parking at the accommodation is ample, so if you are a group, you will have a large garage parking as well as space for other cars, all undercover and right in front of your door, so no worries about carrying your stuff for miles. It's really comfortable and a big plus as well, as there are no steps to climb to get access to the unit. There is an alarm system to provide you with peace of mind, and it's easy to operate as well. We will definitely visit and stay at Marichel 4 again, and in fact, every time we go to the coast, we will look to stay here first. It would be our go-to place every time. I cannot see us staying anywhere else anymore now that we have discovered Marichel 4.

Fantastic stay with beautiful views, absolute paradise. We were here during the looting and felt very safe, almost like being in another country.

Lovely outlook it felt like being on the beach in Mauritius. We had a lovely family holiday at a time when we needed it most.

Gerieflik naby veilige swemstrand, fantastiese see-uitsig.

Die eenheid se ligging is perfek. Gemaklike loopafstand na strand. Lekker groot kuier stoep. Die eenheid self is gemaklik, jy voel tuis.

Amazing!

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Dis baie veilig. Vriendelike personeellede wat daagliks kom skoon maak. Kort stappie deur 'n privaat hek na die strand. Skoon, netjies en baie rustig. Baie privaat. Dankie, Marichel, vir 'n baie lekker week. Sal weer so maak.

A wonderful place to make holiday

Marichel 4 is a wonderful place for a big family or group, near the ocean, a wonderful beach and ocean pool who want self-catering. This apartment is wheelchair friendly. We enjoyed this place and perhaps, we will come back again. Thanks to Elaine for the very good service.

The most spacious and convenient self catering apartment I have ever stayed at.

On unlocking the apartment I was amazed at the size of the place. Absolutely spacious. Upon further inspection I found that it had everything that one could want from a self catering apartment. The place was immaculate and was equipped in abundance. The patio provides a breathtaking view and you could just relax there for an entire day. I would certainly recommend Marichel 4 too my family & friends.

Langnaweek om tyd saam met familie by die see te geniet.

Pragtig ruim eenheid wat goed toegerus is. Uitstekende ligging indien naby die see wil bly. Veilig omgewing. Alle kontakte met die eienaar en LekkeSlaap het seepglad verloop.

Would return to Marichel 4 in a heart beat!

Marichel 4 is absolutely stunning and a home away from home!! Wish I could have stayed longer. With amazing facilities and a stunning view of the ocean, this is definitely a gem in the heart of Ballito. I would recommend anyone to go and unwind at this serene place.

Dit is seker een van die netjieste, ruimste, mooiste en plek waarin ons as gesin nog ooit gebly het. Marichel 4 is 'n moet vir iemand wat nog nie daar was nie.
