What types of amenities are available in Ballito?
Ballito enjoys a wide array of activities and amenities, and the days of having to travel to Durban to shop or for some entertainment are over. The swimming and surfing beaches have always been a big drawcard, but we also boast four magnificent golf courses, as well as mountain biking at the ever-popular Holla Trails situated at Sugar Rush Park. This venue also houses the fantastic Jump Park for trampolining enthusiasts. The shopping options have been ever-increasing, but with the imminent launch of the Ballito Junction regional shopping centre in March/April 2017, we are set to have just about every retail offering available, as well as cinemas.

What should buyers expect to pay for a home in Ballito?
Ballito has long been deemed one of the most popular holiday destinations in South Africa, and is rapidly growing into a bustling hub and so is it's residential property market. Research has shown that more people are migrating north and this bodes well for property prices in the area. The current average price for sectional title units ranges from around R1,35m to about R3,95m. Freehold properties fetch between R2,365m and R7,1m. The trend in Ballito shows that the demand for sectional title and gated estates is much higher than for freehold properties due to the security and lifestyle choices these types of properties offer.

What do you love about Ballito?
We relocated to KwaZulu-Natal in January 2007 to what has aptly been described as the true gem of the North Coast coastline, Ballito. The area has enjoyed the greatest amount of growth in KZN which has had an extremely positive impact on house prices as well as opportunities in the business sector. We enjoy a fantastic climate, have a number of top golf courses nearby as well as terrific shopping amenities. The lifestyle, the friendliness of the locals as well as the beautiful beaches on this stretch of the coast all make Ballito the place to be and I would recommend this area to anyone.
