Everything: Marie and Colleen did extra miles to make our stay comfortable. We felt like at home. The staff was wonderful. Breakfast was always delicious. They even have a special treat every day. We also loved the amenities in the room, especially the home-made cookies.

We loved our stay at the Whalesong Guest House. The Staff/Owner were very very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the WiFi in the room was good. Breakfast was very delicious.

It was very comfortable and clean, we enjoyed the stay, thank you Colleen

The pool area was divine. Gorgeous gardens and bird life. Large spacious rooms and balcony. Close to all amenities. Comfortable beds. Welcoming staff. Helpful and friendly.

Excellent Excellent Host Marie. Fantastic Reception on we coming in and during our stay in general. She was kind enough to fetch us back from the gas station when our car was facing issues. Please invest in a porter for the luggage:-)

Rooms, breakfast and the pool was excellent and the price is reasonable. Staff is friendly

Excellent guesthouse to stay in St Lucia. Neat rooms with good facilities, we only missed a fridge on our room (but there was a fridge in the lounge, which we used for some stuff). The breakfast is extraordinary! We enjoyed the wonderfully prepared dishes, served on the beautiful terrace. On our day of departure (5.00 a.m.) the owner was up as early as us, to let us out, giving us a well-stocked breakfast bag. Compliments for the staff. We visited the iSimangaliso and Hluhluwepark in the area. In our case, Hluhluwe was a better match, much more animals. A boat trip for the hippos in StLucia is a must!

Good information about what to do and excellent assistance arranging activities.

Great feel about Whalesong and St Lucia. Outstanding service from Debbie and Sophie who couldn’t have been more helpful.

Lovely place to stay. Safe and secure. Very friendly staff and excellent cooked-to-order breakfast. Room very comfortable with good air-conditioning. Bathroom spotless. Would have liked to have stayed longer as there's a lot to do in the area. Only a small town but it's not everywhere that you have hippos wandering around the streets at night!

Property info
Whalesong Guest House is your home away from home. Kick off your shoes and relax on the terrace under the stars. Our aim is that you leave with wonderful memories and having met as strangers we leave as friends.
Neighborhood info
St. Lucia is particularly special in that our hippo population share the town with us! In the evenings, the hippos that live in our estuary begin roaming the residential areas in search of food. They will spend the entire night looking for scrumptious grass to graze and head back to their watery home just before daybreak. For this reason, we advise our guests to please drive to and from your dinner and entertainment after dark.
