Overview of The Boathouse

The Boathouse sits on Ballito’s Dolphin Coast, north of Durban, with direct access to long sandy beaches and warm Indian Ocean swells.

Location & Setting

King Shaka International Airport is a short drive away, and Ballito’s shops and restaurants are close at hand. Coastal drives run to Zimbali, Umhlanga and the tidal pools of the North Coast, and boat trips, fishing and seasonal dolphin sightings make the most of the shoreline. Five minutes from Ballito by car, Zimbali Lodge sits in coastal forest on the Zimbali Coastal Resort, looking over the ocean. Golfers staying here can play Simbithi, an eighteen-hole executive course near Ballito.

Rooms

Rooms and suites follow a nautical theme of crisp white, navy and subtle gold. Many have a private balcony or patio facing the Indian Ocean, every room is air-conditioned, and good bedding and comfortable furniture make for a relaxed, sea-facing stay.

Facilities

Days revolve around the seafront pool deck, the lounges and veranda dining. The restaurant and bar both look over the ocean, an easy choice after a beach walk, and staff can book golf, deep-sea fishing or coastal hikes nearby.
