Super host!!! They deserve awards for outstanding performance! Excellent food, better than more 5 star hotels. They give guests 6 star treatment with buckets of advice about tours and things to do in the area. Made our stay fantastic! Will definitely go back.

We really had a great time at „Kwalucia Private Safari“:)! The place itself is very cosy and designed with much love for the detail! It‘s definitely a place where you feel welcome from the very first moment!! Marie & Adrian are great hosts and made our stay as pleasant as possible. Especially their help while planning our days in St. Lucia were perfect. Once again thx a lot! Furthermore Marie is an excellent cook. So we definitely highly recommended this place!!

Marie's breakfasts are incredible - freshly prepared and individual, with a different selection every day, including home-baked cakes and bread, beautifully prepared fruit salads, and freshly squeezed juices. Adrian and Marie organised activities for us and provided so many thoughtful extras and advice for our day trips. We also enjoyed spending some time with Nina and Rambo.

Adrian and Marie are incredible hosts. Anything you need they will find it for you. They also give you, when you arrive, a very detailed overview of St-Lucia and its surounding. Marie is an excellent cook and the breakfast is fabulous. All perfect

Breakfast was simply delicious: Marie prepares fresh fruit salads, eggs and bacon to your taste, and even baked gluten free bread. Take time to enjoy breakfast, it's worth it! And you might even spot the squirrel that lives a few meters away.

The owners of Kwalucia are very friendly and know a lot about the area. The breakfast was really good; there was something else on the buffet every morning and it's made with passion. The rooms are really beautiful and very clean and I loved the bed. The main street with all the restaurants is on walking distance.

Must say if you want perfect personal attention it’s the place to be. Not a second can you doubt the breakfast , fresh squeezed juice, and if you like baked stuff it’s the best place around . Liked it .

Nothing - only having to leave!
Just spent 5 unforgettable nights at Kwalucia. This is 5 star luxury experience, from the beautifully decorated African suite with every comfort available, to the fabulous garden filled with tropical trees, plants & a great swimming pool. The delicious breakfast each day by the pool is a feast of homemade delights - fresh fruit salad, unique combination of squeezed fruit juices, scrumptious bread & cake each day and a made to order hot breakfast. Adrian & Marie are the most amazing hosts, so warm and welcoming & were keen for us to make the most of our stay in St Lucia by helping us with suggestions & bookings. They always went beyond what you would expect a host to do, such as getting up in the middle of the night to provide us with a wonderful picnic cool box and flask of coffee for our day of game viewing, & even spotting us in a restaurant after dinner and whisking us off in their car so that we would not miss seeing hippos munching grass in the streets of St Lucia. Kwalucia is a haven of peace and quiet in the heart of St Lucia. The location is perfect – a few minutes walk to the main street for shops & restaurants & totally safe to walk at night, as well as being a great base for exploring iSimangaliso Wetlands and Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Game Reserve.

If there is one little thing: sometimes there is very poor internet connection. That is to blame to the shortage of electricity in South Africa.

There is just one thing I can think of: there was no WiFi-signal in my room (too far from the router). You can connect in the main area though and LTE is very good in St. Lucia.
The owners of Kwalucia are very friendly and know a lot about the area. The breakfast was really good; there was something else on the buffet every morning and it's made with passion. The rooms are really beautiful and very clean and I loved the bed. The main street with all the restaurants is on walking distance.
