Wow, Beautiful location and hotel. I was leading a group to go on safari in KwaZulu Natal. I arranged for the group to transfer to the Fairmont Zimbali Resort upon arriving in Durban. Everyone loved the rooms and meals during our short stay at this hotel. The location was convenient and the view of the Indian Ocean was relaxing. No complaints.
A perfect venue for our annual VWSA corporate event. Was so nice to arrive from the airport, and only like a 15 minute drive, to only again leave for the airport. Meetings during the day, and evening function at one spot. Loved it. We stayed here for two nights, had a great walk in the Resort every morning. It was safe and a beautiful area. Even went down onto the beach. Some colleagues had a good swim in the mornings before breakfast. The staff was all very friendly and attentive. Buffet breakfast spot on, and they even got me fresh chillies. We did the buffet dinner on our 1st night in the Coral Tree Restaurant. Everything spot on. Rooms was clean and fresh towels both days. Had free water, coffee and tea in the room. Thanks team, amazing location, great venue!!
Heaven on Earth. A beautiful, luxurious stay. Pleasant, courteous staff and amazing service. A blissful, peaceful place to unwind and get in touch with your inner self. Facilities were well-maintained, food was divine and an overall amazing experience.
STUNNING - Zimbali. What a magnificent resort! I stayed in a two bed roomed suite that was exquisite. Layout of the little apartment was stunning that was perfect for a small family. Facilities and services at the resort is world class.
Great place to stay. We actually stayed in the Zimbali Suites, which is part of Fairmont Hotel, but they are apartments with fully stocked kitchens. Was a fabulous place to spend our holiday, has a lot of extras; spa, restaurants, too many pools to choose from and easy access to the Ballito mall just 4km from resort. Friendly staff and clean resort. You. Have access to the private beach, which is not swimmable but great to see ocean and walk in the sand. We saw Dolphins from our balcony and during our dinner time at one of the restaurants.
My Zimbali Experience. We had the time of our life, the place is . Great picture moments, facilities, support staff and accommodation. The number of restaurants provides a vast choice of dishes to suit and wet everyone's appetite. We were staying at one the Heritage Villa and the accessibility, cleanliness, access to own pools and beach was convenient. My villa was 200m from the beach, which made it so much fun.
Wife loved it. We were at the villas and let me tell you nice views. Surroundings are very beautiful. Different types of venues and pools and nice restaurants to pick and enjoy your momentum in the sun. Very safe and staff very helpful. Will definitely see me again.
