Comparable to the retirement resort my grandmother died in recently.
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.

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.

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.

La Residence 's response
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.

So sorry you found our dogs barking on arrival an irritation, and us trying to stop the barking, they are our security and we have not had any break ins for the last 8 years. We also have a year old puppy which takes time to get used to everyone. If you could tell us where to improve our customer service, and our clean and tidy units which are fully serviced everyday, and linen change every four days, we happy to help.

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
