Excellent vacation spot.
House is located in a good place and we had the most beautiful view. The cutest guard dogs that visited us every day and Alex who maintains the place was extremely nice and friendly.

Tranquility in the heart of Ballito.
The unit we stayed in was extremely private and very peaceful. It had absolutely everything one could think of. The owner thought of everything and we lacked nothing. It was quiet and peaceful, and the sofas and bed were wonderfully comfortable. All the appliances in the residence were in working order and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We now want to make it our annual vacation spot, because of the good service and friendliness of everyone. The privacy mattered a lot, and we noticed it from day one. True value for money! Thank you to Don, Alex and everyone else for your boundless kindness and service. See you again next year!

Expected better.
The place needs attention to the basic things. An image is created that someone will come to wash a cup or 2 daily, and any additional cleaning is extra expense, but that did not happen. The cutlery and cookware are not decently clean, the bedding has not been washed for a long time - we slept on top of the bed with our own blanket. The owner does not keep his hand on the place. The only highlight here was the dogs - they absolutely made up for it. We also stayed at a self-catering place in Clarens earlier in the year at the same rate, and the service absolutely exceeded our expectations. Despite a bunch of good reviews on the web and 1 or 2 bad ones, I decided to give it a shot - not again.

The environment is very beautiful and peaceful, quite close to the beach and also shopping centers.
The unit is not neatly finished, very untidy. The unit was also not neatly cleaned when we arrived and we were only able to move into our unit for about three hours. The headboard hangs loose, the front door doesn't close at all and the owner says it's not a problem because it's safe. The fridge had to be cleaned by us.

Zur See 's response
Unfortunately, we are unable to replicate the issues you had with the door. The bathroom has an electric extraction fan activated when the bathroom is occupied.
We strive to be an eco-conscious establishment and aim to save water and electricity.
Showers are better for saving water and reducing the geyser's electric load. This is why we advertise having showers available at this time.
We also have a 5000-litre JoJo tank, which allowed our guests to have showers and flush toilets after the recent floods when the entire Ballito was without water.
We also include gas stoves so that people can cook during load shedding and electrical outages.
We aim and work hard to reduce the load on the municipalities and encourage our guests to do the same.

Hi Barry, thank you for staying here and for reviewing us.
Our establishment is no longer pet friendly.
Regarding the neighbourhood dogs barking, accommodations such as Zur See are located in residential areas, and guests experience the life of locals in such areas.
You were great guests, and I hope you will stay in contact for future accommodation at discounted prices.
We also have made numerous changes since your stay, which may be exciting.

Owner very friendly. Nice stroll on the stoop with a sea view. Als was very nice and clean. Ample space for 6 people and more comfortable couches. There are 3 dogs that bark a lot, but there is a small area cordoned off for other puppies. Steel gate that closes in the evenings between lounge and bedroom but no key to lock. Will stay there again. Thank you.
