A Ballito institution, with everything from pizza to seafood, and great views to go with it. A winner for take away pizzas. What's more, it's just a short stroll away!

Just 2km up the road at Lifestyle Centre, The Market is a stunning space to enjoy browsing for some delicious products. This permanent food market includes traders such as Yoli's artisanal bakery, Home Grown organic produce, Taylor's Meats traditional butchery, Science of Coffee, Scoop ice cream, Bavarian Deli, Robson's Brewery, FISH, Bird & Co. and lots more. Great spot for the whole family to pick & choose what they like, then enjoy their selections in the communal seating area. You may be in luck to enjoy some live music while you are there.

Lovely setting in the middle of a small unspoilt section of indigenous coastal forest right in the middle of town! This means that, after enjoying your meal, you can get back to nature and take a gentle stroll along the beautiful winding Waterberry forest path... and see how many birds and duikers you can spot!

Different to anything else in town, Peron Peron is an authentic Argentinian grill with an emphasis on the flavours of Buenos Aires and a focus on different cuts and choices of beef. Their forte is aged steaks cooked in front of you on open fires over wood and charcoal. A winner every time!

Thompsons Bay not only has a great beach, but a massive tidal pool too. Not to mention the iconic 'Hole-in-the-wall', which can also be reached on foot from the apartment. This is a stunning walk (give yourself 2 hours to make there and back at a leisurely pace) but only at low tide! Walk all the way along the promenade to Willards Main Beach, then simply walk north on the beach and over the headlands from there.
