Port Zimbali accommodation from NZ$80

The Ballito Backpackers and Hotel Izulu are close to the Ballito Beach.

The Africa Regent Guest House is 30 kilometres away from the main part of Zimbali. Another option is the Mandalay B&B, which can be found 30 kilometres away. The Three Cities Auberge Hollandaise Guest House and also the Sunset View B&B Guest House CC are two other recommended accommodation options worth looking into around Zimbali.

It's well known that we Kiwis are pretty laid back, so consider staying a little longer and check out the Casuarina Beach, Ballito Beach and Thompson's Bay Beach, in Ballito, 6 kilometres to the northeast of Zimbali. The Hampshire Hotel Ballito Durban and Fairmont Zimbali Resort are a few of the great short and long-stay alternatives in Ballito. 25 kilometres to the southwest of Zimbali, you'll find Umhlanga, which is home to the Anabels and Sanchia Luxury Guesthouse. If you're staying in Umhlanga, set aside some time to visit the Sibaya Casino, Gateway Shopping Centre and Umhlanga Rocks Beach.

If you love sports and want to watch games, you could head to Moses Mabhida Stadium, which is 35 kilometres to the southwest of Zimbali. Those sports fans wanting to find a bed close to the action can choose from the Belaire Suites or the Hilton Durban.

Wotif will get you to Zimbali, in style, on budget and on time. So leave the goldfish with the neighbours and start packing!
