First Group La Montagne

About this stay

Ballito's stretch of the Dolphin Coast carries no malaria risk and no reserve fence to plan around, and La Montagne trades safari logistics for a straightforward beachfront stay on Compensation Beach. The building is self-catering apartments, each with sea views, a kitchenette, a fan, a safe and its own balcony, so mornings start with the ocean in view rather than a queue for breakfast. Two-bedroom units go a step further with a furnished balcony and a gas BBQ, useful for a family cooking its own dinner after a day on the sand. Downstairs, the outdoor pool looks straight out over the Indian Ocean, the Palm Terrace restaurant serves pizza and lunches beside it, and the B-bar keeps drinks coming poolside. A spa, hot tub and games room fill the rest of the day, kids' club covers the younger guests, and Umhlali Country Club is 4.5 km away for anyone who packed golf clubs.
