Ballito is a holiday town located in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Ballito is situated about 40 kilometres north of Durban. It forms part of the KwaDukuza Local Municipality, and iLembe District Municipality. Dolphins are common on this stretch of the North Coast shoreline, hence the nickname Dolphin Coast.
It is here where you will find a hidden gem which calls itself “The Boathouse”. It looks nothing like a boat but the architectural design resembles a luxury guest house which could be be mistaken for a hotel once you’ve booked your accommodation.
It boasts superb accommodation with breath taking view of the North Coast particularly if you have booked your room with an ocean view! it is the one place where you are guaranteed to feel relaxed and received by a staff that is friendly and willing to attend to your every need at any given moment in time.
From beach weddings to upmarket conferences, from exclusive Indian cuisine to sumptuous spa treatments, the Boathouse has it all.
