Comparable to the retirement resort my grandmother died in recently.

Unfortunately, there were power and network outages during my stay, but the guesthouse owner was diligent in resolving it, but they can.

La Residence 's response

The reason for the power and network outage was that a substation had gone down, and sections of Ballito were out for almost 48 hours, also causing the solar system battery to die. I apologise for that, as it was out of our control. Being compared to a retirement resort, I find that offensive; it is not a very nice comment and has never before been made by that comparison.

Stil uit die pad maar tog naby alles.

Ons het 'n warm ontvangs gehad. Die kamer was koel ten spyte van loadshedding en buitengewone hitte. Die tuin was natuurlik uit die boek uit. Die plekkie is stap afstand van die strand en winkelsentrum met alles wat nodig is, en ons sal vir seker weer daar wil bly. Die eienaars en die 2 troeteldiere is vriendelik.

Quietly out of the way but still close to everything.

We had a warm reception. The room was cool despite loadshedding and extreme heat. The garden, of course, was out of the book. The place is walking distance from the beach and shopping center with everything you need, and we will definitely want to stay there again. The owners and the 2 pets are friendly.

Eenvoudig, maar netjies. Perfek vir korttydperk-verblyf, alles wat benodig word. Vriendelike, aangename eienaars.

Nie 100% selfsorg nie, sal nie eie kos daar kan maak nie, maar sal wel kan braai. Anders as dit is dit die ideale plek vir 'n paar aande se verblyf. Die eienaars bly op selfde perseel, is baie behulpsaam en baie vriendelike mense, skroom nie om te help indien nodig nie. Ongelukkig geen afdak of so vir 'n mens se motor nie.

Simple, but neat. Perfect for short term stay, everything needed. Friendly, pleasant owners.

Not 100% self-catering, will not be able to make your own food there, but will be able to grill. Other than that it is the ideal place for a few nights stay. The owners live on the same premises, are very helpful and very friendly people, do not hesitate to help if necessary. Unfortunately no canopy or anything like that for one's car.

So sorry you could not make food during your stay, but La Residence is not a self-catering establishment as mentioned on the page, a heat-up only, however it does have a toaster, kettle, microwave, coffee/tea station, and a weber and braai, so breakfast and lunch or even a cooked dinner could have been had there. We do not have space to erect further garages for guest vehicles on our property, but there are cover awnings all around the house to your rooms, it is only about 6- 10 steps from your vehicle to the covered awnings to your units. As stated on the web page we are 400 meters from the beach location. Thanks for the review.

My mistake, this is accommodation only, not self-catering.

Not enough cupboard space for clothes. Also patio table right outside 2nd unit bedroom window. Good news, no load shedding, there is solar power.

So sorry you didn’t find that six shelves and full hanging space was not enough. As well as a small cupboard under the tv. Regarding your table you could have moved it across to your side if you so wished but you never mentioned it, sorry. Regards, Marie-France

Baie goed geleë en 'n rustige atmosfeer.

Baie netjiese en rustige deel van Ballito. Naby aan die see en sonpanele vir beurtkrag. Het baie lekker gebly.

Baie lekker en rustig.

La Residence het 'n vriendelike verwelkoming met skoon en netjiese kamers. Hulle geriewe is gemaklik en net wat ons nodig gehad het vir die naweek. Ons het elke oggend strand toe gestap en kon gemaklik elke aand slaap. Marie-France en haar man is baie opreg en vriendelik en het die naweek vir ons baie gemaklik gemaak. Sal definitief weer teruggaan volgende keer.

Will definitely go back again next time.

Friendly, welcoming, cleanliness, warmth, and most relaxing.

On arrival we were met by Marie-France and Tumi her husband. They were most welcoming and explained the layout of the what-nots and do's of our stay. Our room was so inviting and fresh with all the amenities possible. We never felt afraid or nervous of anyone breaking in as they had 2 big Labradors guarding La Residence. Marie-France asked us daily if we were happy and satisfied with everything. We would have loved to have the means to have stayed longer. I would not hesitate to go there every year.

Thank you so much and we would have you back anytime. So glad that your stay was a memorable one. Stay safe and keep well. Kind Regards from us both.

Die kamer was baie netjies en die eienaars baie vriendelik, maar hulle honde wat konstant dreig om ons byt het baie gepla!

Die verblyf was goeie waarde vir geld, en die eienaars is baie vriendelik. Die eenheid was mooi netjies en skoon. Die dakwaaier het vanself aan gegaan en het die vetrek koud gemaak, veral omdat dit wintertyd is. Maar die twee groot honde wat heeltyd gedreig het om ons te byt het veroorsaak dat ons te bang was om na ons voertuig te gaan om iets te gaan haal. Ek het ook in honde-bollie getrap wat ek toe in die kamer ingetrap het - en toe moes skoonmaak. Selfs toe ek die sleutel gaan teruggee het, het die hond gedreig om my te byt. Dit was die laaste indruk van my verblyf toe ek daar weg is. Ons was dankbaar om daar weg te kom. "Toemaar hy lawaai net" is nie goed genoeg nie.

The room was very neat and the owners very friendly, but their dogs that constantly threatened to bite us were very annoying!

The accommodation was good value for money, and the owners are very friendly. The unit was pretty neat and clean. The roof fan came on by itself and made the room cold, especially since it is winter time. But the two large dogs that kept threatening to bite us caused us to be too afraid to go to our vehicle to get something. I also stepped in dog poop which I then stepped into the room - and then had to clean up. Even when I went to return the key, the dog threatened to bite me. This was the last impression of my stay when I left. We were grateful to get out of there. "But he's just making noise" is not good enough.

Good day Piet,

I have seen your review and wish to apologize for my dogs being a problem during your stay, however, they could have been put in their kennel if that would have been requested. Due to the fact that I was in the hospital, and my daughter was at home, this could have been resolved quite easily. They have never bitten anyone and I have guests in regularly and often with children. I just felt I needed to let you know.

Hopefully, we will have the pleasure of hosting you again. Have a good week.

Kind regards,
Marie-France Robert
