    Can't think of a single thing!

    Everything - the location is perfect for exploring the coast; there is a gorgeous non-swimming beach just in front of the complex to enjoy early morning strolls; the apartment is pristine; the complex is so quiet and peaceful as well as super safe; the kitchen is stocked with everything one could possibly need or imagine needing; and overall Burger, Gabi and the Illovo Beach Apartments team are friendly, accommodating and just excellent.

    Would be nice to have easier access to charging points in the bedrooms and a mosquito plug/repellent on offer. A Smart TV with access to guests own streaming accounts would be valuable too. An extra couch instead of wicker chairs would also be more comfortable. But none of the above would deter future stays for us :)

    Kitchen was exceptionally well equipped for cooking and baking. Everything we could think of for cooking a 3-course Christmas lunch was available even if we didn't know we needed it! Loved the array of fruits, oils, spices, condiments, beverage station stock and snacks provided as welcome supplies. Housekeeping arrangements were made to our convenience as was key collection and drop off. The apartment was clean, relatively modern, spacious and beautifully decorated. Overall a very well equipped apartment but a really special touch to have board games in the living room too. Stunning patio area with gas braai and garden area. Easy access to the beach with stunning views from the patio, main bedroom and living room.

    There is n't anything I didn't like about the apartment , I mean we had sea view , which I appreciated every morning when I wake up. I truly appreciated all the amenities.

    We received a warm welcome from Sis Ncamisile , she was very kind and friendly. Great location, really pleasant and clean apartment. Easy access to the beach , close to the Kingsburg shopping centre and 10 minutes drive to the Galleria Mall. Our kids were very excited about the apartment as it felt homely with their favorite channels on DSTV , Netflix and unlimited WIFI. Thank you Sis Gabi and Sis Ncamisile for making our visit amazing!!

    Amazing Luxury Accomadation

    Theres no major supermarket in Illovo, so you must drive out to stock up. The residents of Le Mer ( The Complex) are not friendly, and you could immediately see and feel who is residents and who is there on holiday for a few days...

    Apartment was fully equiped and the milk eggs, fruit, spices and nibbles adds a very nice personal touch and covers the basics. Access to the private beach is great. Daily cleaning staff is amazing. The furniture and appliances in the unit is really of good quality and gives it the Luxury Accomadation feel which we really appreciated...value for money
