Very friendly proprietor. She helped us book a couple of local tours, was delightful to talk to, and very knowledgeable. We stayed in the large 3 bedroom. It was massive and led right out to the pool. A huge family could stay there happily, it's very comfortable and relaxing. I wish we could have stayed longer and Hope to return again!

Gary's and June's kindness and availability

AMAZING breakfast !! Spacious, delightful rooms and very clean. Easy parking, friendly staff. Lovely location and facility. Two swimming pools! The 3 bedroom house is particularly spacious and nice.

The host was very friendly and gave good advice on where to go, what to do and where to eat. And warned us 1000 about the hippos!!! The room was fabulous. We rented for one night alone at first, but than decided to stay for another one, which was no problem at all. It is very centrally located, and one can safely walk into the main street of St Lucia.

We had a special request and they did not hesitate to help

Quiet location, very spacious (thanks to a surprise upgrade on arrival!), generator to bridge the gap after power failure, big pool and fully equipped kitchen with all you need.

June's breakfast and care were excellent! She knows were to go and how to get there. It is no trouble for her to book anything you like. It made our stay in St Lucia a true highlight

Gary and June were great hosts. They were very informative and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was excellent, the room was beautiful and the location excellent.

June and Gary were wonderful hosts. Very kind and attentive. They couldn't do enough for you. June's breakfasts were superb. Full cooked breakfast plus toast, cereals, fruit salad etc etc. Would thoroughly recommend. Only negative comment is that there was no bathroom door. Some people could find that very difficult

The room was lovely, secure and the guesthouse hosts were very knowledgeable and made it very easy to organize our days and book tours. We also had electricity even when the power went out thanks to the generator. The breakfast was great.

I have been resident in St Lucia since 2002 running my own Guest House. Lucky to meet the most interesting guests and have made many friends. I love the nature in the area and of course, the South African wines are great !! In 2020 with guest safety and social distancing in mind the Guest House was converted to separate self-catering units, each with private entrances from the car park.
The village of St. Lucia can be described as an island, it is completely surrounded by a Natural World Heritage Site - the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, formerly known as The Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park. Although the village has all the important tourist amenities, restaurants, bars, curio shops, local crafts, ATM's etc. the area boasts, over 500 bird species, an abundance of wildlife, endless natural beaches and five distinct major ecosystems and much more.
