What Guests Say About Their Stay

We had a great stay 10/10. The property is positioned greatly. The room was nice and each balcony had gas grill for braai. They have all you need on site but there are restaurants close in walking distance and a checkers less than 5 minutes away. The staff is great. I’d like to specifically thank Sandra for finding an additional night for us when it became available. We stayed for New Year’s Eve and the fire works were amazing. They put on quite a show for the guest. All of our food and drinks were good. We were ready to extend our trip a few more days how nice everything was but they were book solid. We are really appreciative for the extra night that we were able to book even though nothing was left online. The ocean views, the pool and the beach were all great. It was my first time visiting Balitto while visiting South Africa from the US and I’ll definitely be coming back on my future trips to this beautiful country. Thank you La Montagne staff keep being great.

The property was under construction during my stay, which is very needed. 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.

Sandra in Reception was very unhelpful with putting me and my parents on the same floor or adjacent rooms. My parents room (107) - the gas braai is broken, someone has to ignite it for you every time you want to braai, only accessories to a hairdryer but no hairdryer, the outside door (which leads right to the public walkway next to the beach)- couldn’t lock - not with a key and not from the inside. The fridge drawer was cracked so badly that we couldn’t use that part of the fridge. And worst is that we literally (unless you everytime want to wait approximately 5 minutes for the elevator) had to climb stairs between our rooms to visit each other (My dad is 70 years old - they couldn’t even give us a room with an accessible shower). The cleaning and restaurant staff were amazing, unfortunately the attitude from that lady who checked us in spoiled our whole holiday.

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.

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.
