The place was amazing and really peaceful, we enjoyed our stay, our bad encounter was actually with the manager on site not the host. This was due to a misunderstanding. Our stay was really great, restaurants were a walking distance and so we're the shops.

Beautiful beaches and town.
Beautiful beaches and town. Boat trip on the Estuary was lovely. Best part was the drive to Cape vidal. Saw plenty of wildlife on the way including elephant, rhino, Buffalo, different types of buck and warthog.

St Lucia is clean. I was walking at night alone and felt safe. Enjoyed the cruise with Fannas to see the hippos.
Enough restaurants to eat out.
No beggars on street corners or street children.
The beaches are clean.

Expensive small tourist town in which the majority of black people are there to work but do not live there and do not own much of the local economy, except being service providers. The St Lucia Wetlands Park Authority and other entities have a lot of work to do, to ensure black investment in the tourism sector as owners rather than servants. The racial and ethnical picture in the restaurants is very deplorable and has not changed much since apartheid. This makes the town, not the best place to visit for holiday. I would not visit for a long time for leisure to spend my hard earned black cash is an economy that is refusing to change. The private sector operating here needs to enjoin government efforts for economic transformation and support the diversification of the tourist sector - not by fronting but real transformation.

ST as we call it here in Joburg is a beautiful place with plenty to see an do if you have the transport. Walking around town is not a problem because it's "short and sweet' yet full of attractions, shops and restaurants just as in any self-respectful beach destination. Full of places to rest in and dine. Beaches need transport but in our country if you have no wheels you stay home! Trust me it's well worth it! UNESCO parks, Big (4) cos' no Lions allowed ;-) 25degC ocean water and a lots of fun! Activities can be found with a short search so I'm not going to go that deep.
And, to answer Booking.com's robot:
"What would you avoid on your next visit?"

Come visit ST...and prove me wrong!

St Lucia must certainly be one of the best small towns in South Africa. The character and charm is unbeatable. The locals are welcoming, helpful and just fantastic people. The choice of restaurants, curios shops, art and craft shops, the village market, wildlife in the town is amazing and simply wonderful!
Charming lodge in a perfect location in St Lucia. Comfortable self catering rooms with all the amenities provided for a wonderful stay. The place lives up to its name, the sunsets are incredibly spectacular. The hosts Richard and Shelley were attentive and even helped us with tour bookings. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants on the main street. Zac the friendly dog and some resident cats made our stay memorable. The pool is inviting and gardens are well kept.
A must stay place when you in St Lucia.

It is nice, clean, has enough room for two families. We loved the fact that everything you need is there. It is self catering and has a daily housekeeper and gardener. The location is very close to town within walking distance to town. We all felt very safe at this property. It is in a very quiet neighborhood with no distractions or disturbances.
all their staff is amazing, they’re so sweet and helpful. also the manager is so welcoming, she is lovely and even gave us a little valentine present.
the accomodation is perfect, everything is super clean, the pools and kitchen are perfect. for us this was the best place we stayed at in whole south africa. thank you guys for the amazing stay <3
Adrian went out of his way to help us with a great itinerary for our stay in St Lucia and was extremely helpful, even lending us equipment to enjoy a day on the beach. The room was very comfortable and nicely furnished, and breakfast was excellent. The surrounding area is very interesting and incredibly beautiful.
Everything was perfect. Colin and Natalie were perfect hosts and so welcoming and helpful. All the staff were friendly and super helpful and kind. Breakfast was the best ever! Simply delicious and plentiful. The location was perfectly for exploring St Lucia and very peaceful with beautiful gardens and pool.
The hosts made us feel at home right away. When you arrive they tell you everything you need to know about St Lucia and are there to help you with whatever you need. The room was great and the breakfast as well. Wouldn’t change anything and would definitely come back!
Got a very good deal for 4 days stay at the property. I had stayed in the other places in St. Lucia in the previous visits. The place is definitely worth its value, especially travel as a group. The rooms are clean and spacious, the kitench has everything you need.
Lake St. Lucia Lodge is in the city center in the middle of a beautiful garden with mango and lichi trees. It provides everything you need in St Lucia and Andre, the owner is a very kind and helpful host who helps you to find the best program in the area.
Did not try the breakfast since I booked self catering. We will book breakfast the next time as most of the restaurants only open from 09h00, with the exception of Wimpy. After 09h00, there are plenty of options and the kitchen is well equipped.
The people who run the Guest House are super friendly and help you with everything, from reservations for excursions to helpful tips for your stay. The breakfast is delightful! We would definitely recommend a stay here when visiting St. Lucia.
Really lovely lodge and perfect as a starting point to do trips around St. Lucia and the Safari Tours. Room was nice and spacious. The Bathroom was also nice. The check-in was super easy and the staff was amazing! Breakfast topped it all off.
On arrival, our unit was well prepared, clean and had all necessary utensils for self catering. The staff's hospitality and friendliness ensured that we felt at home....and oh, we loved the pool (given the heat in the area).
I fell in love with St Lucia... We had the best time. Charmaine the manager is amazing! We took the time to go snorkelling, made a boat trip to see the hippos and had a lovely dinner in town. I can't wait to come back.
A beautiful hotel that felt like a rainforest oasis. The owners were super helpful and friendly and the breakfasts tasty. It was just a block from the main road but totally quiet, tranquil and restful.
A great place with a warm friendly feel.Having been in St. Lucia many years ago, the memories from here will last a life time and will definitely be a draw back for another trip to the area.
The Bridge is ideally situated, walk away from the shops and restaurants. Found St Lucia to be safe to walk even at night ... kudos to their police and people running the town
Unusually for South Africa, the full english breakfast included cooked tomatoes and mushrooms. We were also offered a packed breakfast if we wanted to leave very early.
