    The venue was fantastic. The location was perfect. The access and huge verandah was perfect for my elderly mom who uses a walker. My daughter who was visiting from London said she loved the fact that we had a private beach access.

Marichel 4 overlooks the most stunning beach that has a huge tidal pool used by many to train in. A walk through the Hole In The Wall takes you to more private beaches to the South of the main beach. The apartment is spacious, well equipped, beautifully appointed and well maintained. Home away from home.
I love living close to nature and it's surroundiing beauty. Self sustainable living is a passion of mine.
There are many exciting and some challenging activities to do in the area. Taking a microlight flip along the coastline allows you to see marine life at its best on a clear day. Dolphin and Whale viewing out in the deep blue ocean is an incredible experience. Whales are seasonal. The coastline boasts some good waves for those avid surfers. You can take a day off to go deep see fishing. Qaud biking, Ace carting or go carting, zip lining, cycling and mountain biking are available for the adventurous and fitness conscious. Take the kids to a crocodile park and the animal farm, or simply take them down to the beach with fishing nets, buckets and spades to let them explore the marine world in the rock pools. Fishing is also a popular sport amongst the locals. Marine world which is a bit further afield is also a great attraction for the whole family. There are world class golf coarses in and around the Ballito area. There are also historical sites that can be visited together with markets and plenty choices of good dining and shopping outlets.
