The votes are in!

Ballito has spoken! Over 257 000 votes decided the winners of this year’s Best of Ballito Readers’ Choice Awards, the biggest yet.

Now in its fourth year, the competition celebrated a record 234 categories (representing 1 928 unique businesses), recognising everything from top eateries and retailers to standout service providers across the North Coast. This makes the competition likely the widest poll of business perception in local history.

As always, categories were decided by public vote alone, ensuring every winner is the community’s choice. That makes the annual awards a fantastic way to find trusted local recommendations across almost every business category imaginable.

All winners, along with second and third place in each category, can be found below.

That listing has proven to be a huge boost for top-three finishers over the past four years.
