Ballito Property

A Ballito property offers prospective buyers a home nestled between the blue waves of the warm Indian Ocean and the rolling green hills of the Kwazulu Natal North Coast. With such a picturesque setting, you can be assured that this suburban paradise presents a host of attractions to people from all walks of life. Boasting an inviting lifestyle which is the envy of the rest of the country a Ballito property presents a perfect holiday destination, whether you are looking to invest in your own dream holiday home or simply visiting this incredible area.

Established as a private township by the Glen Anil Development Corporation in 1954, this heart of the Dolphin Coast is flanked to the east by the golden beaches which has made it one of the premier tourist attractions on South Africa. The name Ballito was borrowed from a magazine advertisement for Ballito Hoisery, and the name means ‘little ball’ in Italian. Situated in the Dolphin Coast of KwaZulu Natal, property in Ballito has long been a popular destination for holidaymakers in search of a place that can only be described as the perfect beach getaway. It's this reason that makes the prospect of living here permanently such an attractive offer. The area is surrounded by the picturesque verdant hills that KwaZulu Natal is so well known for while the beaches are nothing short of inviting with their warm rolling Indian Ocean waves and never ending golden sands.

Beaches, golf courses and nature reserves; this is what Ballito property owners consider as their local amenities. A playground for dolphins and beach goers alike, Ballito offers its cosmopolitan residents a perfect place to call home. With its central location, unbridled natural surroundings and easy-going coastal village atmosphere, it's no wonder that so many people are setting anchor in this idyllic seaside hideaway. A Ballito property places residents far enough from the hustle and bustle of city life to believe one is on their own patch of paradise, but close enough to good schools and shopping centres to live the ideal daily Durban life.

Property in Ballito also presents Golf enthusiasts with an incredible selection of immaculate Country Clubs to choose from. The Zimbali Country Club offers players spectacular forest and ocean views, as this challenging and charismatic course is built around the premise of ecological conservation. A mere 30 minutes drive from Durban, the Umhlali Country Club presents an attraction not only for golfers, but for the entire family. With tennis courts, squash courts, a bowls pavilion and a renovated pro shop, clubhouse and halfway house, this fantastic country club offers something for Ballito residents of all ages.

Ballito’s main swimming beach, Willard Beach, has the honour of holding a Blue Flag Status. Bathers can enjoy the water here with piece of mind, as the beach is protected by shark nets and qualified lifeguards who are on duty seven days a week. A mere 15 minutes walk south of Willard Beach, Ballito property owners can enjoy Clarke Beach which is also protected by shark nets and lifeguards. A little south of Clarke Beach, the Ballito tidal pool presents a great swimming spot for young and old. The tidal pool and surrounding rock pools are home to a host of small marine creatures, making it a great spot for the little ones to explore and learn. Moving even further south, one finds Salmon Bay, a launch area for watercraft. This beach is also popular among surfers and is home to the Ballito Inflatable Boat clubhouse. Property in Ballito also gives residents access to a number of excellent fishing spots where a good bite is almost guaranteed, if not the catch of a lifetime. Fishing licences can be purchased at the local post office, but licences for oysters, crayfish and mussels can only be obtained at the Nature Conservation offices.

A mere 20 minute drive from Ballito, the iconic Gateway Shopping Centre offers residents a retail paradise. As one of the largest shopping centres in the Southern Hemisphere, this “Theatre of Shopping” presents shoppers with an unmatched range of shops, restaurants and activities. Enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants, or beat the summer heat at the renowned Wave House.

With such a great variety in one shopping centre, Gateway is an amazing place to bring the family and enjoy a day of fun filled entertainment. For those looking for something a little closer to home, Ballito Junction offers an alternative to the Gateway Shopping Centre. With a wide range of shops which stock almost anything you could possibly need and plentiful free undercover and open parking bays, Ballito property owners never have to venture too far from home.

The chances of having to leave this haven at all are unlikely as a property in Ballito offers its own shopping malls, providing residents with everything they need to complete the comfort of living in this town.
