La Montagne Guest Lodge

What an amazing place. Rooms are beautiful, food outstanding, staff amazing and the view is out of this world.

This establishment may have been rated a 4-star *decades* ago but there's absolutely nothing 4-star about it now. I booked the family unit with my kids for 5 nights but ended up checking out earlier. From the facility - (we used up a can of Morten by the 2nd night but we could not enjoy a full night's sleep without cockroaches and wasps flying all over at night; and millipedes crawling all around, the shower handle of one bathroom broke on our 2nd day and it was never fixed till we checked out, the water was shut off and we all had to use one bathroom, the 2nd bathroom was all stuffy and moldy from the moment we checked in till we left) to the menu - (you get one tiny shot of juice for breakfast. Any extra request for juice costs R18, request for water also comes with a price and the breakfast menu is very much restricted). The service was nothing to write home about either. On the 2nd day, we were seeing pieces of pretzels and cookies from under the bed, possibly left behind by previous guests. I requested to speak to Kim the manager but that never happened and I had to leave. For a 4-star rated lodge, there was no Wi-Fi. Don't get me started on the road but I wouldn't blame the lodge for the road as they have no control over that but every other thing is within their control and it's definitely NOT a 4-star experience. It was a disappointing experience for my kids and I as we had expectations from the pictures and the reviews we saw online. We got little to no value for what we paid.

The owner Kim is not professional and very rude. The cleaning staff they prescription glasses and watch with the trash when I left them on the coffee table. They made it seem like I missed placed them and when they found out that it’s their fault they did not even apologise. We booked what they said was “luxury room” there was nothing luxury about those rooms because one of them the shower head was not working and the rooms were nothing close to luxury. The you’re not allowed to bring your own alcohol in the premises yet the restaurant closes at 10pm and we wanted to sit outside by the deck and drink and chat. One of the staff accused us of stealing a hand towel and later on found that they did not even bring it and never apologised. Don’t even bother spending your money at this place, go where customer service is excellent and rooms are actually nice.

La Montagne, the perfect escape Whether you are looking to take a breather in complete solitude, or spend some much-needed quality time with the family, La Montagne is the perfect escape from the buzzing city life. Tucked away in Haartebeesport’s beautifully natural environment, this lodge with its stunning views is “home away from home”. The staff is super friendly; the rooms are clean with their crisp white sheets and wooden furnishings, the food competes with your mother’s *laughs* ,the ambiance is serene…the whole place is just a breath of fresh air! My daughter and I had the privilege to experience their spa offer when two of their therapists popped in. Now, I have had my fair share of massages, but these two ladies have a magic touch, and I knew I would be blown away with the first rub up my back! My 12 year old’s neck spasm was healed instantly and I just couldn’t believe my experience as I wobbled down the cobble stone parking of this breathtaking getaway. I doubt my daughter will whine about taking her for a swim any time soon; she enjoyed to her heart’s content, both the jacuzzi and pool, as I watched on from the restaurant a few steps away doing what all mommys deserve to do after an arduous 2024…sipping cocktails! A grand THANK YOU to the friends I made, vibrant Kim and the staff of La Montagne. I will be back for round two-three-and more!

Loved,loved,loved the place and my experience there.Super clean and spacious rooms.Friendly and helpful staff.Food was superb.....will definitely go again with my family

Had my kitchen tea there. The view is beautiful. All problem I had wasthat they didn't allowed as to park closer to the venue and my grandma and friend who recently had a operation had to climb all those steps.

I surprised my husband and spoke to Kim to have a second honeymoon. Kim went 100% out of her way to make our time there the most memorable experience. All the staff, from cleaners to waiters were always friendly and helpful. My husband has stage 4 cancer and Kim made sure he was comfortable at all times and on all levels. I cannot describe how amazing La Montagne is, views are breath taking, food is amazing, everywhere is spotless clean, was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! Kim, words cannot describe how grateful I am to you and how amazingly special you are! La Montagne will always be apart of my heart ❤️

Thank you to Kim and your wonderful staff for the beautifully set table and your fantastic service Saturday for Jenna's birthday! You went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations! We had a fantastic time! The beautiful sunset just added to the already perfect evening! We will definitely visit you again!
