Joske Belgium

the host York and his wife are really kind and friendly! they took really good care of us. When we arrived he explained everything in town and all the options of what we could do with a map. he helped us book an amazing tour in Hluwhluwe iMfolozi park with Eco Zulu, definitely a good recommendation for that tour. The room was really tidy, with a comfortable bed. The shower was hot, even during load shedding. He has a good generator! You can use everything what you need in their kitchen, we even did cook one night over there! definitely recommend everyone to stay here!

Maputaland was more than a guest house: Jorg and his mother went out of their way to truly make us feel at home. ❤️ Wonderful breakfast, quiet and cozy atmosphere and the best advice regarding day trips and surroundings. 👌

Josefien Netherlands

Jorg and his family were the best hosts we ever had! So accommodating and helpful, when we arrived Jorg told as about the highlights of St Lucia and the surrounding area. His tips were very helpful and made our trip a once in a life time experience including seeing a Hippo gras right in front of the garden. The rooms had everything we needed and the breakfast was amazing! We will be back again for sure and recommend this guest house to our friends and family.

Janina Germany

The hosts are extremely friendly. The rooms are beautiful and well kept. Breakfast was amazing and the swimming pool great. All the information given on arrival was very helpful to plan our trip around St Lucia. We would totally go back.
