So cute to meet your parents! You guys with your sea views, pool drinks and whales! 🐳😍

[@Explorcation]

Salt Rock looks like such a lovely beach town. How cool you can camp so close to that hotel. The waves in this video were crazy, no wonder you couldnt use the audio...it looked so windy. But hey it is awesome you saw a whale at the other beach! It seems there is so much to do here!

[@sockgoblinamazingwtf6511]

Ive been going to salt rock once a year for the last 23 years! I love that place! Never giving up A4 at the salt rock palms!

[@ambisun9828]

All the best in New Zealand missing you both from Durban South Africa 🇿🇦

[@BeingBedingfield]

Awww...we miss Durbs 🙂

[@johnmichaux616]

I was there . Stayed at the Caravan park. Had a wonderful time ...had the best curry I've ever had at Salt Rock Hotel !! I'll be back soon for sure ! Really good value for money and such nice staff both at C.park and hotel. Well done and thank you ! John.

[@TheWanderingHermit]

Whale watching sitting by the pool is something ..out of the world. !! Loved the entire salt rock area , .. lots of things to do !! Hope u guys enjoyed the lunch with the family around .. !! Chantal .. u look so much like your mom....!! ❤️❤️

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

What a fun town! Your parents are so cute your mom “subscribe”🤣. KZbin just sent me this video I thought it was new! So glad I didn’t miss it! ~Cara

[@djalexrai81076]

beautiful place i loved it stay con♥️🙏

[@denverdavids6880]

Thanks for sharing! feeling homesick now

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks for watching! Making you feel home sick was definitely our plan 😜. However we are glad that you can see a few shots of home through our videos😁

[@glenstrydom853]

Well, another spot to visit. We had an awesome experience anyone should try. The owner of Mozambik, Brett, has an initiative going...once a month takes a group interested people to a restaurant in Shakashead to experience local traditional cuisine. An absolute must foodie adventure. Not only for the food, but the humbling that comes with it. We are so blessed, any time you feel the need to complain when the simple things in life challenge you, think again, think of those less fortunate. 🤔

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi Glen, sorry, just saw your comment now. We wonder if the owner of Mozambik still do those tours, sounds like we would really love an experience like that 🤗

[@AprilChu]

Salt Rock is so beautiful! And omg the views from the Salt Rock Hotel is amazing! I can’t believe you can book one of the original 6 rooms. Thanks for sharing the history. And your parents are so adorable! Love them. 🥰🥰🥰

[@laurenceharrison2318]

I really love watching your videos guys. Your doing such a good job. I travel a lot but this is exactly what i wanted to see inorder to plan for my future trips. Your doing such a good job with the videos. Please if you are able to do some videos in the Hermanus area along the coast all the way to capetown. i would really love to see those videos too.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi Laurence, glad to hear that our videos are helpful 😁 We did a series of videos from Durban to Cape Town and back...it’s more vlog style than informational, so not sure if it’s what your looking for, but here is the link to the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLDokcPPUJA1W70llgmkFJKSAk0hCNA4Yi

[@alpha-security]

This is the place to be.

[@pieterprinsloo007]

Salt Rock was our favourite camping place in the early 80's, my dad loved the caravan park there, it is part of my DNA. I'm living in Brisbane nowadays, but I miss those years...our next trip to South Africa will definately include a visit to Salt Rock and Ballito...

[@bigpoppabarnabus5010]

You guys are so awesome .

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much, appreciate the support 😊

[@LucasWorldTravel]

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much 😊 we are so lucky to have such a beautiful coastline 🤗 thanks for watching 🙏

[@DjusLife]

So fun to meet your dad! Food looks delicious and what a fun place to check out. Crazy that the hotel is almost 100 years old.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks guys. It's always fun to get our families on video😂. The hotel was really cool, but Europe definitely wins when it comes to beautiful old hotels and buildings 😁😊

[@deebeem1789]

We are in the United Kingdom definitely coming to visit Salt Rock on our next visit home in Ugu municipality.

[@CcMum]

Awesome 👌

[@karmatraining]

Your accent is adorable Chantelle, I miss all the SA accents from when I grew up there

[@BeingBedingfield]

Haha, thanks Derek! I assume you’ve lost the SA accent 😅

[@teewaynethango5133]

Thanks for this video, I really learned alot about Salt Rock. This place is amazing.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@ryanandrews7777]

Ye me and my family have a place in balito and it’s phenomenal and we all love canelands thanks for this go check the other stuff out on the weekend 😃

Thanks so much for watching! Isn’t Canelands just the best 💛 do you have anything else that you could to our list of things to do in Salt Rock?

[@whattovisitinromania5044]

Beautiful adventures in great places! ❤️😍

[@myron-donelle7577]

Very informative too

[@TravelInteresante]

That beach club really does look fantastic... Not many spots like that you could do whale watching from, wow! Love when you can discover your own backyard thanks to this platform!

[@TheMapPinners]

@6:58 Wow that is such a beautiful view from that hotel! AMAZING that you spotted that massive whale from the patio 😍What a cool experience!

[@MiaSampaguita]

Wooow stunning destination. Love the interior design of the hotel.

[@BeingBedingfield]

The interior is so beautiful. We really love old hotels with interesting stories😁

[@helenmcdonnell2585]

Stayed in the Salt Rock Hotel in '70s with my Aunt and my cousin's, it was so beautiful. It has glamed up alot since then. I think we could eat dinner for 4 for about R4. The part I enjoyed most of your video was the sea and the whales. I would love to see more beach scenes, preferably with just the sound of the sea. We live in the UK so seeing videos like this brings back memories. You are so fortunate to have your family with you. Thanks for showing us what's going on there. Best wishes from N Ireland :)

[@ruthsamuel8106]

My mum worked at Salt Rock Hotel back in the day. Beautiful Saltys

[@BeingBedingfield]

How cool! She must have a ton of interesting stories 😊

[@SheldonZam]

Thanks for the travel vlog! Here from the #CreateZA Community

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi Sheldon, awesome, thanks for checking us out 😊🙏

[@SarahandMarek]

Awesome video guys! We've been to salt rock before but haven't done most of the things you mention in your video. Next time we're in Salt Rock we'll definitely check them out 😄🌊

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks guys. Yes you have to try these things next time you are in the area. 😁

[@garytreez]

Some great ideas including your breakfast vlog. Great for when we are allowed to revisit this area from the UK.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hope you can visit SA soon 😊 we’ve been seeing more and more tourist lately 🤗

[@michaelarends1600]

Nice thank you ..lv

[@andreipretorius92]

Another awesome video guys. Post more. Coming to SA in June/July. Need to go to KZN, how I miss it

[@exploreaswego]

OH MY GOSH! Monkeys so cute! Don't ever worry about the audio! It actually happens to us all the time, you can always just voice over or do captioning like you guys did in the last video. Oh wow I saw the WHALE! That is so cool! I need to remind us not to watch your videos while hungry, because it's bad news bears for just some munchies! It's BEACH VIBES! HAHA.

[@JackyAndTheWifey]

Hi guys! What a paradise, such a beautiful destination. We have never been to africa before, hope to visit that place someday. Thanks for taking us with your great adventure. We enjoyed watching! Your parents are so cute hehe 😍 With Love from Belgium xoxo #jackyandthewifey 👫

[@PortlyTravellers]

Wow those waves crashing on the beach. So cool to spot whales just sitting there. Here you pay a small fortune to go whale watching and often see none. -Shawna🍁

[@glynnisnel4922]

Have just started watching your chanel and absolutely love it. Living in the UK, watching your channel it brings us home. We would love to see more especially as we want to visit Ballito. We would love to see the real Durban, Ballito and Durban North. Places to avoid and places to go. Otherwise your chanel is amazing, just wish little longer and more detail.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi Glynnis, thanks so much for your kind comment 😊 Where did you live when you were in South Africa? Thanks for the video suggestions, added to our list 👍 And noted about more detail, definitely working on that aspect 😊

[@Afrodidiac]

Just came from Ballito yesterday from a baecation. We watched your video to get some ideas! Thanks for this ey guys. Instead of pricy Salt Rock Cafe, we went to Salt Rock Hotel for those sandwiches.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Yay, I’m so glad our video gave you some ideas 😊 I hope you had an amazing baecation 💛 Where are you from?

[@Afrodidiac]

@@BeingBedingfield We are from Jo'burg :D Thanks again. I like your guys' channel. Keep em' coming

[@TheAverageTourist]

Salt rock looks absolutely amazing! You are so fortunate to live so close. Your parents have a huge tent!! I've never seen one like it. Your mom's like and sibscribe request was so cute. I'd love to go whale watching by that infinity pool😍 amazing!!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thank you! The tent is amazing, as it folds up on top of the trailor. So convenient 😁. There are so many whales traveling South during this time of the year. It's really fun to spot them😁

[@MillieMoments]

The caravan park was lovely!! And so close to the sea...I love camping! The salt rock hotel was just awesome!!! The history of the hotel was really cool, thanks for sharing the info with us! Can't believe you saw a whale!!!! How incredible 🐋 The food looked so yummy! Can't believe you only live like 10 mins away, I'd be there all the time 😁 Great video 😊💙

[@KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens]

Chantz your parents are the best, your mom is just the cutest! We've only been to the tiffany center for breakfast but we didn't realise there is so much to do. How cool was the info about the hotel? Craig glad to see your drone is up and running, great footage guys.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks guys. We really hope your trip is going well. We are loving the videos😁. I'm definitely glad the drone is back in the sky😁

[@ADAtrips]

Salt Rock ! Looked totally yum. It’s funny haw different it is when you go as a tourist as opposed as a local. Loved the whale 🐳. I think your mom and my wife would be best friends. 🌴🌴Aloha

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thank you so much. The whale was really amazing 😁. I'm sure they would be great friends😁😁

[@mziwoxologwala5440]

I didn't realize Durban was so beautiful.

We have some really beautiful spots here in KZN :)

[@stevejamesf2610]

Hey I'm from UK and just found you on KZbin. Love the travel guides and love SA. Your informative and bright and breezy delivery really makes me want to go to all those beautiful places. I might be at Scottburgh in 2023. Have you done a guide on there and are the beaches and cafes worth checking out? Thanks guys, keep it up!!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi Steve, thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment :) We're glad our videos are informative. We haven't done a Scottburgh vlog, it's on the cards, we just need to find time to get to all these wonderful places haha We really like the beach at Scottburgh, but the town itself isn't very big, it is close to where they launch the boats to go shark cage diving though ;)

[@astikachaithu1798]

Absolutely love how you incorporate the history and bits and bobs of information into your videos ✨

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thank you so much. We really love the history of every place we visit. There are always amazing stories with regards to the history 😁

Well Done guys! That Yami’s restaurant though! 😃👏🏻 looks amazing 😂 I still remember going to salt rock cafe with you Chantal!

Hi, Please give a high tea recommendation in Ballito.

Just a suggestion: put the names of all the places in a list in the description box...sometimes as you mention the place, I can't always catch how to spell it, or remember the names.
