Excellent location – rated 9.6/10! (score from 34 reviews)
Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Breakfast was very generous, the host and staff friendly and helpful especially with ideas on where to visit. The location is good as it not busy and therefore peaceful. Our room was comfortable, with everything needed. Cooling down in the pool after a long warm day was definitely a plus

South AfricaWe loved the place! Beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable, located in a tropical garden with funny monkeys. There is a lot to do In the St.Lucia area. And the nature reserves (especially iSimangalido wetland park) are one of our favorites reserves in SA. We love hippos! The trips Joyce booked for us were perfect! She takes the time to understand what we wanted to do in a short time and her suggestions were always spot on. Joyce and Marcel are wonderful hosts and made our stay very special. We would love to come back!

NetherlandsA beautifull guesthouse. We had a short stay for our visit in hluhluwe imfolozi park. We had to leave very early when we checked out and our host had a breakfast bag prepared for our tour. Thanks a lot.

Een prachtige kamer met aandacht voor detail. De badkamer is ook erg mooi met een royale douche. Koelkastje op de kamer is ook fijn, en gevuld als minibar voor zeer schappelijke prijzen.ontbijt is lekker en uitgebreid. In St. lucia is erg veel te doen, plan hiervoor aardig wat dagen. Wij hadden tijd tekort. Absolute aanrader!
