GinaZ BnB: a new arrival in Ballito
GinaZ BnB is a new arrival on the guesthouse scene in Ballito and is sure to make waves when it opens in February 2018. Make no mistake, one is spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation in the area and it certainly requires a gutsy and bold approach when opening up something new in this competitive environment. However, it is often said that it is the hosts who have the following and not the establishment. It couldn’t be better said in this case as Tony and Lize bring loads of knowledge, expertise, and finesse when it comes to personalised management and hosting of guests.
Perfect for friends and family
GinaZ is perfectly located in the quiet residential hub of Ballito with views over the inviting Indian Ocean. It is within an easy walking distance of the main beach with shopping and conveniences no more than 1,000 metres up the road. Comprising five rooms of different configurations and 12 beds in total, this is an ideal choice for families and friends to enjoy hospitality at its best on the very aptly named Dolphin Coast. This luxurious private home is fully air-conditioned, has been furnished to a high standard and offers an informal lounge and library downstairs leading to the pool and patio area overlooking the sea.
This is complemented by a formal upstairs lounge and loads of space for guests’ relaxation and enjoyment. GinaZ offers delightful breakfasts served on the patio each morning. The comfortable rooms have DStv, air conditioning, tea and coffee station, loads of cupboard space and are serviced daily.
Restaurants, shops, markets, and activities abound in the area and private transfers can be arranged for an evening out or for day excursions. Tony and Lize will also happily assist with advice on where to go or what to do. The safe beaches and tidal pools offer endless choices for a day out on the beach. Surfing, fishing, snorkelling, or just plain beach bumming are all possible in close proximity to GinaZ.
Guided tours
Drive-in or fly-in options allow guests to choose the mode to suit their mood and King Shaka International Airport is only a 20-minute drive away. Tony also offers self-drive or guided tours for guests wanting to venture out and explore all that KZN has to offer including Scuba Diving on the Elephant Coast, Battlefield Tours, Drakensberg experiences, Big5 Safaris and much more. Some of these tour options can be viewed on the website.
They are also able to offer comfortable accommodation in the Drakensberg at Riverside Manor which is their sister lodge in the scenic KZN Midlands near the quaint hamlet of Rosetta. Riverside Manor offers spacious self-catering, camping and backpacker accommodation and is the perfect choice for guests wanting to explore the Ukahlamba Drakensberg mountains, the Midlands Meander, San rock art, trout fishing, and exhilarating hiking trails.
