Nestled on a peaceful street, our quaint garden cottage offers a serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Ballito. We are located in the heart of paradise, Shakas Rock. Salt Rock Main Beach and our local coffee shop Salt Café are within walking distance. Several local food spots in the immediate area, fishing, snorkeling & surfing on your doorstep are what make this unit unique. The Dollhouse is tucked in the corner of a larger property next to the main house, where a family of 5, & two dogs live. The cottage is not 100% fenced off from the main house (see pictures), if you bring your dogs they will have access to our dogs and vice versa - we love saying hi! Guests say the best feature of the cottage is the proximity to the beach(es). The cottage is situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood. The unit has recently been remodeled with all new appliances. Exposed wooden beams give an open feel to the space. Private spacious patio overlooking a succulent garden. Outdoor table and chairs to have meals plus a Weber for a braai. The open-plan, air-conditioned space has a Smart TV (NETFLIX only), a well-appointed kitchenette, a 2-seater sleeper couch, and a fold-up table (with bar stools). There is a double-size bed and wardrobe with an extra blanket and swimming towels leading to the bathroom. King Shaka International Airport is a 15-minute drive away. Several shopping centers are within a 5km radius.
Hi there! I love welcoming guests to our beautiful part of the world! I am available 24/7 via WhatsApp for all your needs, and our family lives in the main house next to the cottage.
The cottage is situated on a quiet road, and the best feature is the proximity to the beach. Walking distance to Salt Rock Main Beach.
