A short but perfect stay

I looked at several options for my one night stay (after the end of a safari trip and ahead of the departure of my homeward flight from Durban airport). The description & location of La Perle seemed an ideal choice - with a very attractive price point. And and so it proved to be.
The welcome I received from Christine on arrival could not have been warmer if I were a family member or close friend staying at her private home ; and the room I was shown to (‘Courtyard Superior’ I believe ?) offered peace and quiet with first class facilities. Special touches such as the (rather generous !) selection of complimentary fresh fruit were particularly appreciated. My stay was unfortunately a short one, though I did manage to enjoy an early-morning swim in La Perle’s well-maintained pool, followed by a freshly-prepared breakfast.
If ever needing accommodation in charming Ballito again (and I very much hope to make a longer visit at some point) I would have no hesitation in choosing La Perle.

La Perle

I frequently stay at La Perle for business. This is the most comfortable and the location is great.

Best coffee and breakfast by far.

5 Star Stay

La Perle was such a treat! Very accessible. The perfect location in Ballito - walking distance from all the attractions in the surrounding, close by shopping centers, restaurants and the beach. The best coffee and two course breakfast with the loveliest staff, we ate at the restaurant one morning and chose to have breakfast in our room looking out the pool the other. Very modern and neat rooms which made the stay very comfortable. The receptionist was so helpful, we had an early morning arrival flight and late night departure, she took care of our bags and made sure we were taken care of while roaming around in Ballito. Will definitely be back, we had a blast!

Hidden Gem...

I was thoroughly impressed by the immaculate condition of the room. It was well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle, and other conveniences that made my stay even more pleasant. The daily provision of bottled water was a nice touch, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort throughout my stay. Breakfast was customized to my preferences and delivered right to my room, which I greatly appreciated. Communication with the staff was seamless, making it easy to address any issues. I loved spending time by the pool, relaxing with a good book, and unwinding in the serene environment. The location of the property was perfect—just steps away from upscale restaurants and the beach, making it an ideal spot for a luxurious getaway.

The service was amazing, the little touch to the birthday celebration was amazing.

The service was amazing, it was a last min booking because another lodge didn’t fulfill my expectations, La Perle welcomed us with the most amazing service. It’s truly beautiful

A gem in Ballito, wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

La Perle was a lovely place to stay in Ballito. The location is awesome, stones throw from the beach and a minute from an amazing restaurant serving mouth-watering Sushi and Steaks. The rooms were so comfortable, breakfast was one of the best I’ve had and everyone was so friendly. I definitely would recommend staying here.

Absolutely amazing

From the moment you arrive to when you leave, you feel right at home and fully taken care of. Service was superb. Would definitely make a come back. Breakfast was lovely and the pool is sooo fun, great for pictures!!!

Excellent

La Perle saved our honeymoon, after we had a terrible experience elsewhere. Everything was exceptional from the breakfasts to the room and every detail in between. Christine's hospitality was superb throughout the stay! La Perle will definitely be seeing us again.

Happy days

My daughter and I had a brilliant stay at La Perla. Excellent communication, great service, clean and spacious rooms, sparkling pool, and breakfasts that made a happy start to everyday. We will be back thank you

Best stay, friendly staff & the best breakfast!

I think this is one of the best places in Ballito to stay. The friendliness, service, rooms and breakfast is just amazing and there is really nothing bad I can say about the staff or the property. We don't even look at another property when we want to go for a weekend to Ballito!

We had great service from the staff at La Perle, we had a really warm welcome. Every morning the breakfast was great and the chef ensured that dietary requirements were met. We loved how involved the owners were throughout our stay.

I spent 2 nights at La Perle on a business trip and had to book accommodation short notice. The hosts were well organized. Immediately after making the booking Christine contacted me to make necessary arrangements. Upon arrival late in the evening I was greeted by a friendly Christine with a welcome drink and a very welcome snack in a comfortable and clean room.
She went out of her way to make me feel at home, and even got up really early to make me a delicious breakfast before leaving for work.

Overall I had a great stay and would definitely stay there again. The location is ideal. It is close to the beach and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying there.
