“Magical”
+The view was amazing, the special touches in every room - bath bombs for the massive, romantic baths. Ice-creams in the freezer for ourselves and even a biltong ice-cream for our fur-baby. Cold beers when we arrived to help us unwind - what more could you ask for!
−Nothing - the weather sucked but this was not anything that the venue was responsible for

“We enjoyed our stay. We had family come around to visit and stay over. Everything was perfect.”
+I like the fact that there was braai wood and charcoal beers, snacks, and cookies all laid out when we arrived. The Windsock is the best example ever of how an Airbnb should operate. The hosts are amazing. The place is amazing. Nothing is a problem.
−This is a perfect place.

“Ultra Pet Friendly Beach House”
+We had such a wonderful stay at The Windsock - it truly exceeded our expectations. The 180-degree sea views are absolutely breathtaking, where you can both watch and hear the waves, creating such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. What really stood out were the incredibly thoughtful, personal touches for humans and dogs alike. It is exceptionally pet-friendly! The hosts went above and beyond by leaving treats for our dogs, including biscuits, homemade ice cream, and even a special gift for our French Bulldog, Henry's upcoming birthday. That level of care made us feel so welcomed and at home. The accommodation itself is very comfortable and well-equipped, with air conditioning, a variety of toiletries and hair products, disposable slippers and gowns, and lovely personalized notes throughout. We will definitely be back and can highly recommend this property for a pet friendly beach getaway!
−A remote control for the gate would be a bonus!

“Best ever pet friendly stay in Ballito!”
+We often stay in Ballito visiting family. This was by far our best stay to date. No detail was spared. Squicky clean. Fully equipped kitchem and I mean fully is in fact an understatement. Charcoal, gas and wood braais. Luxuriously comfortable beds and bedding. Fully stocked bathrooms (I am talking robes, slippers, a scale, vanity mirror...). The perfect view and ample outdoor seating. Beach towels, sunscreen, mosquito repellent and extra blankets. And then the special touches: doggy treats and dpggy icecream for our furbabies. A fully stocked pet cupboard. We have never stayed in any place where our dogs felt more welcome. We can 110% recommend and will certainly stay again. Well done guys! Our stay was on another level.
−Absolutely nothing! Craig and Libda even checked in on our dogs when we had to leave them home for 2 hours.

“An exceptional property with stunning views”
+Fabius location, exceptional hosting, dogs are treated as guests. You will have your own entrance and door key ( owners live upstairs) The bedlinen is of a high standard, the kitchen is well appointed, the seating on the wide and expansive deck is very comfortable. Books and games are provided. The TV has multiple channels. It’s a perfect home from home.
−The placement of the swimming pool somewhat interrupts the view from the bedrooms.

It’s impeccably clean, has every amenity and item you’d want and find at home, the host are immensely thoughtful, kind, and responsive. The views and proximity to the beach are incredible. Instructions and personalized small notes are everywhere helping ensure you are comfortable and life is as easy and straightforward as beach life should be. Our dogs loved it. We loved it!

“Perfection”
+The Windsock is absolute perfection - honestly, “incredible” doesn’t even begin to describe it! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views, the immaculate attention to detail, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel instantly at home. 🌊✨ This is hands-down the most beautiful, pet-friendly accommodation we’ve ever stayed in. Every room looks out onto the ocean, so no matter where you are, you’re surrounded by the calming sound of the waves and panoramic sea views that are simply unforgettable. The design of the home makes the most of its location. The property is not only stylish and beautifully maintained but also offers every amenity you could possibly need. From the fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher to the washing machine and tumble dryer, everything is provided to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible. It truly feels like a luxurious home away from home - with the added bonus of being in one of the most stunning seaside settings imaginable. One of the highlights for us was being able to watch dolphins and whales right from our balcony. Sitting with a cup of coffee in the morning and spotting these incredible a
