Fairview Guesthouse offers self-catering accommodation with exquisite views of the beautiful Dolphin Coast, situated in Salt Rock, 10 km north of Ballito, 20 minutes’ drive from King Shaka International Airport. We are NOT affected by load shedding but still have a back generator for any ESKOM issues. Transport is recommended however one can walk to nearby amenities or catch an Uber. Wake up to sound of the Indian Ocean breaking onto our sandy beaches. Savor the golden sunrises and swim in our mild Indian Ocean waters, even in winter. Our Guesthouse is ideally situated for dolphin watching all year round and whale watching from August to October. We offer three options, all with excellent sea views, with easy beach access 280 meters walking distance. We offer safe, gated parking. Wi-Fi, DSTV (hospitality bouquet) Netflix and electronic safes available in each unit for storing valuables. We are equipped with a back-up generator and water supply for any outages plus all water on the property is filtered and UV treated. We are not wheelchair friendly as the Guesthouse has numerous flights of stairs. Neither are we pet friendly. Own transport is recommended, however there are shops and restaurants within walking distance. We can serve you in English or Afrikaans.
The best attractions of the neighbourhood are the exceptional sea views, and tranquil beaches and relaxing amenities close by.
