Guest Reviews
- Anita (3/5): Disappointing and underwhelmed!! - The location was great! Not much, the microwave didn’t work unless you held the plug in the wall, the fan above the bunker beds barely made any wind ( it was too hot to sleep on), the foot of the couch in the living room kept falling out and the bedside table stood so of balance I couldn’t place my water bottle on it! Last year I paid the same amount for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, daily cleaning service with aircon and beach access at Tontiki, so this does even come close!
- Nomthandazo Patience Siyaya (10/5): -
- Marshall (8/5): The pic of ballito with a balcony was not where the booking took us. Please rectify the photos la Ba - Property was clean and quiet, clean swimming pool. I love the fact that the see was walking distance and chexkers just next door Someone was in our unit saw it when I window was open from the pool area. The cleaner came at 08h00 while we still has an hour to vacate waiting infront of our door really. Had problems with the toilet

- Nombatha (10/5): We had a wind stay. - Everything was perfect We didn’t have a mop so we couldn’t clean after ourselves.
- Pinkus (8/5): -
- padayachee (10/5): - The beds were comfortable. Good decor. Central to shops and beach. More batteries for the remotes.
Sharper and more cultery was needed.
Not enough dishes.
Microwave tough to work.

- Denny Bremner (10/5): We had a great weeks stay at La Ballito it was a perfect place to stay. - Location was good close to the beach, shops, restaurants etc.
The staff were helpful & friendly too.
Lovely baby pool & big swimming pool & a braai area in the gardens.
- Labuschagne (8/5): -
- Dlamini (8/5): - Close proximity to the beach and shops
- Malaika (4/5): Utterly disappointing! - Ballito is a nice area and the location of the accommodation is good. The place is almost dilapidated. The geyser wasn't working on our day or arrival, and the following morning, we had to request that it be repaired. This was terrible given that we were traveling with a 4-year-old in the middle of winter. The inability to enjoy a hot shower with ease was truly devastating.
- Mahlala (10/5): Home away from home - I loved the location, quietness, comfortable and very clean suited the purpose of my visit 👌 Nothing really

- Sibusiso (10/5): Our stay was peaceful and refreshing, exactly how one would like to start the year. Definitely a highlight for 2025, we - A Wonderful Stay at 305 La Ballito
We had the pleasure of staying at 305 La Ballito in January, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable, and well-equipped, making it feel like a true home away from home.
One of the highlights was the breathtaking view, which added to the tranquility of the stay. Being just a two-minute walk from the beach, it was the perfect location for a relaxing seaside getaway. Waking up to the fresh coastal breeze was truly refreshing.
A special thank you to Musa, Sonwa, Jasper, Douglas, and Sizwe for their warmth and welcoming spirit. Their hospitality and friendliness made our stay even more enjoyable, ensuring that every need was met with a smile.
I highly recommend 305 La Ballito to anyone looking for a peaceful, clean, and conveniently located place to stay. It was worth the stay!
- Nompumelelo (10/5): We had our own space which gave us enough privacy and comfort to enjoy the weekend alone - I was picked up so I didn't have any hassles of having to find the place. The place was perfect, but they forgot to add towels but wasn't a train smash coz they had already gone out of their way to make sure my birthday celebration was extra special.
- Kapongo (8/5): Very good -
- Chanel (10/5): Exceptional - I loved how clean the place was. We had everything we needed and it was really close to everything.
The host was really responsive which made everything easier. We had a really great stay and we’ll definitely be back
- Cader (9/5): An amazing stay in the most perfect location. - The location with great with access gates to Checkers and the road leading to the beach directly from the property. No need to drive as amenities were all close by. Simple coffee/tea sachets being made available for guests would've been the cherry on top. As well as an extra roll of toilet paper made available.
- Matsena (10/5): The stay was amazing i wish i never had to leave - The easy access to the beach is amazing and it’s close location to the stores is convenient Can’t say there was anything i didn’t like
- Noxolo (8/5): Great stay. Great weekend - I loved everything about the place, from the host to the staff. Very welcoming and warm place to be at. Shops are just downstairs The main door was a bit difficult to open but with the help of the security we managed to open.
- Appana (9/5): Pleasant. - Location was perfect. Load shedding which was beyond one's control.
- Kapa (1/5): Not prepared for guest - Location was ok 1.We indicated that we are arriving at 7pm but no one was there to receive us for a walk in inspection we picked up the keys from a security guard on duty.
2. The cleaning fee on Booking.com we paid R500 but on the notice in the apartment it was R300.
3.we had no hot water, when we arrived we had to shower with cold water, messaged the owner at around 8pm to tell them this but only responded the next day about it, the DB board had to geyser switches one was up so we thought it was ok but it was the wrong one, again these things could have been shown to us if someone was there to do a walk in with us, the next day the plumber was going to come around 10am, we had to figure it out on our own that the geyser was not switched on
4. The Tv didn’t work at all, even the husband and the stuff came to try and fix it but no luck. He wanted to change the tv for us but that was a bit too late at that time because they should have been prepared for guest all these things are supposed to be checked, now you want to come with tools and inconvenience our private holiday time.
5. Overall the apartment was dirty, shower was dirty had hair stuck on the drain trap the floors were not swepted, there was even dead insects behind the curtain that we had to sweep out, the curtain themselves are too long that they drag on the floor and they are filthy that is not something you want your clients to see.
6. The bed was absolutely dirty also we found long strings of black hair on it, make up patches on the linen, pillow cases smelling, clearly this bedding was not washed at all. Really not sure what the cleaning fee was for since this whole place was filthy dirty
7. The couches are dirty and they smell
8. Check out time was 9am we had to ask the owner for 10am, please look into this matter you will loose clients for it normal check out time is between 10am and 11am

- Abel (7/5): Good -
- Refentse (10/5): The place is close to the beach close to checkers hyper when I say close I mean like 5min walk. The host was amazing all - I love the decor loved that it’s near checkers too Nothing

- Reyneke (9/5): Superb -
- Genelle (8/5): Very good -
- Ndobo (8/5): Very good - Near to the beach none Nothing
- Henning (9/5): Lovely vacation - Loved the fact that it was next to shopping Centre.. And Close to beach.
Very neat fasilities with everything you need for a vacation.
Only thing that bothered me was the stove which is scew.. Sort of mess with your eye when making good😂.
Staff were amazing.. Always available and offered great assistance. Washing facilities also great to use. Scew stove..
- Bobby (8/5): Very good - The guards are so warm and helpful beyond expectations The reception of the building can do with a small facelift, plus our apartment didn’t seem to be cleaned before our arrival
Just those little things
- Mary-ann (8/5): Very good - This was the perfect location..the distance from the beach and the shopping center is ideal. Safe environment for the children to play downstairs too in the garden was an added bonus as was the lovely swimming pool.
- Dolf (6/5): Pleasant - Close to the beach WiFi not working. Reported it but nothing was done to fix it.
- Pallatt (1/5): Just not worth it - Location is close to the beach This is not a 2 bedroom apartment. The "second bedroom" is actually a passage. The bed is essentially a storage box with very thin mattress on top of it. The space is uncomfortable. Would not recommend at all.
- Catherine (9/5): Superb - It felt like a home away from home. Very comfortable, clean and convenient. Not much.
- Millicent (7/5): Good -
- Anonymous (6/5): All right - They really tried making it nice The unit was dirty when we got there, the floors were dirty and the table top looked like it hadn’t even been wiped after previous guests. There was long black hair all over the floor. Really felt dirty when we got there.
- Carien (9/5): Great stay perfect location and beach - Great location very modern There is a dishwasher at the property, remember your Finish tablets for the use of the dishwasher.
- Nontokozo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vedonia (9/5): Superb - Liked the location, felt safe.
Close to the beach.
Liked that there was a shopping centre close by. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have cleaners, once in the time we stayed.
6nights could merit a clean .
- Kalala (10/5): Super - Super clean and super convient. The shops are at the doorstep and the beach just close by, 2 mins walk. Very good host who catered to our very need.
- Samukelisiwe (10/5): Exceptional - The place was easy to find. It was clean, and we were so comfortable, and the fact that the beach and the mall is close 👌 bonus.
- Takura (4/5): The experience for me was unfortunately not a pleasant one. - Convenient location, close to a Checkers and easy to access the Ballito Business Centre. 1. No proper/clear/more precise/landmarked instructions on how to get to the apartment were given for such a location. The La Ballito Flat in which the apartment is located has about 3 streets around it. I followed the GPS from booking.com and it took me to the other side where there is a pedestrian gate. Had to call for directions. I would have expected clear emphasis on the gate to use beforehand (main gate is on the Checkers side).
2. Host was not timeously responsive to calls: a) She answered after several attempts while I was on the highway and needed to communicate delayed arrival. b) She also only answered after a couple of attempts when I needed directions after arrival.
3. There was no tea and sugar for guests' convenience as is usually the case in some establishments.
4. NB...The one of the 2 bedrooms with a bunk bed is very small and not private (not separate room with it's own door). It is open plan into the lounge and kitchen and in a little corner as you get into the private bedroom. Not ideal if you need privacy.
5. The lounge and bedrooms have aluminum windows but it is not possible to open the windows. They are stuck and have no handles. The lounge has only one little window right at the top which does not close at all. Tried to close it at night but failed, it is also stuck in its open nature.
6. There is a R550.00 fine-print additional amount at booking which was listed as daily cleaning fee but the apartment was not cleaned even once during the 3 night stay hence did not get value for this amount.
7. There was only a single roll of what seemed like single ply toilet paper which was not convenient.
8. Consequently, I did not find the host hospitable relative to my other experiences. If the above issues can be rectified, the apartment could be an ideal place for a revisit as it is conveniently located.
- Pollyann (8/5): Very good -
- Jacqui (8/5): Very good -
- Ramandri (9/5): It was great and relaxing. Totally enjoyed the convenience of the location to everything. - The location is great, as it is walking distance to the beach. It is also convenient, as there is a shopping complex right next to the flat. Elri was great and always answered questions and queries quickly. Nothing
- Chetty (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bathobile (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ntanzi (8/5): Very good -
