I booked a bit blindly from a TikTok review. As an American, the definition of luxury is a bit different. This property is more akin to a motel. You have a kitchenette to make meals and a grill outside on the patio that leads out to the beach. The bathrooms were a mess and moldy with barely hot water. My stay was only 48 hours so I sucked it up. There is food available on the property but it's not great. ##### Tiana Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy 10 Oct 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly and helpful staff Enjoyed the stay, excellent wifi, good food, excellent service, friendly and helpful staff. ##### Cindy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zwelakhe 25 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Happy chappy Its was amazing, I was referred to this place and my ow my its a home away from home. ##### Zwelakhe Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### revendra 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service House keeping poor Breakfast staff made note of the tipping system and it’s not added to the bill before introducing herself or asking if we wanted coffee.

You can tell it had a good run, but now it’s very run down and highly decadent. I did not enjoy my stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Patience 9 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness #### Family holiday in Ballito Stay was overall good but disappointed that the pool was under renovation when we got there. No msg or warning to let us know that the pool will be out of service especially when you coming with 3 children. Staff were abit confused on the reservation and wanted me to pay for breakfast when it clearly states on my booking that it’s inclusive. ##### Patience Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Keri 21 Feb 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The location and sea view of la montagne was incredible! To wake up to the beauty of that was amazing, we stayed in a 3 bdrm apartment. Our room smelt so strongly of the fish restaurant the entire stay, our clothes smelt of it as well. The hotel is alot more worn than advertised, pictures looked alot nicer than what we walked into as well. There was rust around the showers and mold. Our keys daily did not work for the parkade as well as our room so that also got frusterating. I communicated my concerns to the front staff as well, they seemed to just say the maintenace guys would look at it. Other guests were having the same problems. Needless to say the surroundings of nature made the trip, the hotel left something to be desired unfortunately. ##### Keri Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### maria 12 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good location, good property amentities I have stayed at La Montagne before and enjoyed it so we returned. This stay we were given an amazing 2 bedroom apartment right on promenade which was great for views and easy access to the beach. Only negative was that there were no extra blankets in the unit in winter and only 2 sets of towels for a family of 5\. When we asked for extra towels, it took the entire day to get it after having to ask again in the evening. With blankets when we asked for an extra one, we were told sorry no extra blankets due to the dryer not working and no blanket was brought to us. On the whole the property is gorgeous with really excellent restaurants that are priced well with good service. We will be back in the future. ##### maria Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Muhammad 20 Feb 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### terrible terrible No power for a whole night … they had generator but 5th floor had no power they need to either reimburse me for this night or give me a night free ! ##### Muhammad Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### michael 28 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Room patio door not secure from outside. Booked the hotel for location and access to the beach. The room patio door had no key and could not be locked or closed from the outside, negating the advertised beach access. Key eventually arranged by maintenance staff, but was informed by them that the door could not be fully secured, this apparently is a problem for all rooms with a patio access. The beach access was recommended to us by locking the patio door from inside, depart room using the front door and go down through the hotel corridors to the beach. ##### michael Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Selvum 1 Jan 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Terribly Disappointed The eture experience was terrible. The room was it cleaned at check in (17.30). The room smelled ike a sewer, upon inspection the toilet was used and not flushed, housekeeping refused to ckean the bathroom and toilet, stated she'd already done it. Hotel management seemed ambivalent about the entire situation. Will not recommend this accommodation to anyone, at any cost. Hotels.com was cintacted, however, not able to help resolve the issue. ##### Selvum Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Manelisa 3 May 2022 Liked: Staff & service The hotel is a little run down. Needs improvements to be made to it ##### Manelisa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Prebaloshni 19 Jan 2022 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Beautiful seaside resort We loved the location and the views are really awesome with easy access to the beach and promenade. The pool area is amazing and well managed by the life guard. The La Vita Spa was excellent with great specials for guests. We stayed in a recently renovated 2 bedroom unit on the 3rd floor (on road level). The unit was clean and very comfortable and quite private. It was adequately equipped. There was no walk in shower only a shower in the bathtub but the bathtub is unusually high to climb into. The cell reception in the unit was poor and there are only a few DSTV channels. The areas (children's playroom and indoor bar) still to be renovated look a bit unsightly. Still we had a lovely stay and the beach makes up for everything. ##### Prebaloshni Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lungelo 29 Nov 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness The phone was not working in my room and I reported three time, they kept telling me that the gonna fix it but they didn’t. In some other places you will find towels on floor since it’s wet. But they mentioned that they are renovating the place so hopefully in future they’re going to be better ##### Lungelo Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mabula Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bela-Bela-Hotels-Mabula-Game-Lodge.h1559026.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingdom Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moses-Kotane-Hotels-The-Kingdom-Resort.h6792618.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Afric Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broederstroom-Hotels-Glen-Afric-Country-Lodge.h27136993.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivory Tree Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Ivory-Tree-Game-Lodge.h5994597.Hotel-Information) > > [Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenton-On-Sea-Hotels-Kariega-Game-Reserve-Main-Lodge.h4576469.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hlabisa-Hotels-Rhino-Ridge-Safari-Lodge.h9401037.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Hartford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mooirivier-Hotels-Hartford-House.h27344764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden Route Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albertinia-Hotels-Garden-Route-Game-Lodge.h2917158.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Mhondoro-Safari-Lodge-Villa.h11522151.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Bush-Lodge.h526966.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tshukudu Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Tshukudu-Bush-Lodge.h1201423.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information)
