Eco-luxe, bespoke self-catering apartments on Thompson’s Beach in Shakas Rock, nestled into the charming North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal. ➡️ We are fortunate not to experience load shedding at most of our apartments! Sandy beaches and safe tidal rock pools ensure that idyllic family holidays or romantic couple’s getaways are just a click away. This upmarket residential area on the resplendent coastline is renowned for its unique dichotomy of an exhilarating vibe yet a relaxed and laid-back outlook. Endless choices of trendy eateries and picturesque beaches provide limitless swimming, surfing, shell finding, and sandcastle building. You might even catch sight of some of the many schools of dolphins and pods of whales that play out at sea. Please note there are four separate apartments within the same complex. Kindly make sure you have booked the correct apartment. 14 Skiathos Apartment has 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms (both en-suite) and sleeps 6 Cleaning fee is R600 plus a (refundable) breakage deposit of R1000 5 Skiathos Apartment has 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms (main en-suite) and sleeps 6 Cleaning fee is R650 plus a (refundable) breakage deposit of R1000 7 Skiathos Apartment has 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms (main en-suite) and sleeps 7 Cleaning fee is R650 plus a (refundable) breakage deposit of R1000 17 Skiathos Penthouse has 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms (main en-suite) and sleeps 7 Cleaning fee is R750 plus a (refundable) breakage deposit of R1500

We love the North Coast for its vibe, conveniences and beautiful beaches. The area has so much to offer and the unit is uniquely situated, between Shaka's Rock and Salt Rock. Close enough to Ballito but still having its own amenities, with plenty of shopping centers and major retailers at the Lifestyle Center and Ballito Junction. The Tiffany Mall in Salt Rock has a lovely center too. A local market (the Litchi Orchard market) is well worth visiting at weekends. Follow us at "Beachfront Apartments in Shakas Rock" for local happenings and restaurant recommendations in and around the area (in no particular order).
