Coastal Comfort

Discover DropInn at Ballito Village and your next favourite getaway spot!

Got family or friends coming to town? Ballito’s got you covered with amazing short-term rentals—from chic beachfront spots to cosy coastal escapes—giving your visitors a stay they’ll never forget. Taking a break and going away on holiday is supposed to be a relaxing endeavour, however, there’s always that slight sense of trepidation lurking in the back of your mind. Questions about the quality of the accommodation, finding great food spots, and having sufficient activities to do begin to rise. Luckily, for the travellerswho grace this little coastal town, Ballito literally has a surplus of all of these factors and more to offer.Â

When it comes to accommodation, you would want somewhere different, and sometimes even better than home, or you’d just stay there. An Airbnb just might be what you’re looking for. They can offer that homey feeling even while away and they are a short-term lodging that can be booked online. They range from treehouses and cabins to apartments and even entire homes! It’s a popular alternative to more traditional forms of accommodation and often provides a more personalised experience for guests.Â

Cue Arcis Property Development and DropInn at Ballito Village, they realised the demand for quality accommodation in the area and took on the challenge. Arcis Property Development is a company focused on creating sustainable and high-end living spaces, they specialise in developing residential communities that offer modern conveniences, luxurious amenities and environmentally conscious designs. With a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, Ballito Village estate offers a unique and elevated living experience and is managed by DropInn, these apartments are designed to provide comfort and convenience for residents and guests alike.Â

Inspired by the desire to provide travellers with that one-of-a-kind holiday experience, DropInn saw the opportunity to cater to this booming market and converted apartments in Ballito Village estate into viable Airbnb accommodation opportunities.Â

Since Ballito is a well-known destination known for amazing local attractions, and having Ballito Village estate in a prime location central to everything the area has to offer, made for the perfect spot to create an experience that goes beyond a typical short-term rental. The estate offers easy access to iconic beaches, restaurants, malls and outdoor activities like golf, Padel, surfing and hiking, among others. The secure gated complex also provides peace of mind for visitors, enabling them to experience the vibrant nightlife without safety concerns. A short distance from King Shaka International Airport, out-of-town and even international guests need not rush to catch any flights, though, I don’t see why they would want to leave.Â

When designing these apartments to serve as Airbnbs, considerations around durability, comfort, aesthetic and functionality. Bianca Warren Interiors accepted the challenge, creating spaces with a sleek and modern aesthetic that exudes sophistication and comfort. The design is characterised by clean lines, minimalist décor and a variety of colour palettes for the accents, so the effect is an open and airy space. High-quality materials and contemporary furniture were selected to convey a sense of that urban luxury synonymous with Ballito living. They aimed to craft an environment that is both stylish and functional to appeal to guests and to ensure a comfortable stay. Partnering with 23 Interiors, they got creative with wallpaper designs that were purposefully made for each apartment.Â

When choosing the furnishings, durability and practicality were key considerations, high-performance fabrics were used for upholstered pieces with a high resistance to stains and wear and tear. These pieces were chosen for their ability to accommodate a high guest turnover while still maintaining its appearance. The decorative elements were also chosen with being easy to clean and long-lasting in mind, thus ensuring the apartment still looks appealing while catering to the diverse needs of solo travellers and families.Â

In preparation for the festive season, apartments are being evaluated to confirm they are in top condition, both aesthetically and functionally. Among the festive touches being added, they are addressing any wear and stocking linens, towels and enhanced cleaning protocols are in place to maintain hygiene standards. The booking process has also been streamlined in anticipation of the increase in demand.Â

The future for DropInn is brimming with opportunities, with the new development Ballito Life on the rise, the opportunities for quality short-term rentals expands greatly for the North Coast as we continue to welcome more people into the town with 110 modern city-central apartments in development.Â

Ever-growing and developing, Ballito is ready for the holiday season.
