2 Ocean's Edge Zimbali

Everything, the place was amazing

Nothing , but we ran out of toilet paper 😱

The home was clean and had all the facilities we needed. We enjoyed our time out on the patio and pool. The staff was very quick in responding to queries - absolutely brilliant cleaning service.

We loved everything about this property.

Great location. Walking distance to the Capital Zimbali and restaurants.

1. The rental agreement had to be signed and refundable deposit had to be paid a day before arrival. This was a little problematic as the R5000 refundable deposit had to be paid before 3pm and I was not available to attend to this on the day. These arrangements should have been done a few days prior to our stay and not a day before departure as we were travelling from JHB to DBN. 2. Getting an access code for the taxi driver took a while and we had to wait outside the entrance. I also mentioned this to the agent prior to the booking - she provided an access code but it was the incorrect one because it could not be used by the driver. 3. The aircon downstairs in the living area was not working. It was reported on Friday evening but nothing was done. 4. No bins in the bathroom. 5. No hairdryer. 6. Not enough drinking glasses for an 8 bedroom house.

Lovely home, beautiful space, great pool, comfy beds

No wifi for entire stay, tedious process entering and exiting Zimbali estate

The house is lovely and the rooms are stunning but the kitchen is really only equipped with the basics. For example, there is a big braai (BBQ), but no equipment for it (tongs etc). There was no welcome book, so getting settled in and finding our way to internet etc. And getting the lay of the land was challenging - not very welcoming. The housekeeper Duma is lovely.

Big red flag - No visitors are allowed! I did not like finding this out 2 days before arrival. Knowing this in advance would have stopped us booking the house as we have family in the area that we like to see. Additionally I did not like the treatment of short term renters in the Zimbali estate. The house is 500m from South Gate but as a holiday renter you are not allowed to use it. Renters have to exit via north gate and enter via west gate only - adding 10 minutes to the journey each way. It makes no sense as people using the hotel can enter/exit via South Gate (so the security argument does not stand up to scrutiny). I felt that there were big gaps in the details that would have impacted my decision to rent this property.

Lovely location .

Everything! The best holiday home by far 👌

Nothing at all

The property was very clean and spacious enough to cater for the whole family

The process of getting in was a bit challenging due to the incorrect registration of the kids at control. Security could not let us in until they get an updated booking that has the other two children

Wasn’t as close to beach as portrayed therefore a golf cart was necessary. Also too steep access - I had old people
