We stayed at this lodge by chance, for just one night, because we wanted to break the long journey from Durban to Maputo, and we were immediately taken by the paradise-like garden, the house, the pool and the room. Granted, the bathroom is not very modern (as some other reviewers have pointed out before), but it was clean and toiletries... More

We stayed in a group of 12 in early October so we had the place to ourselves. Philippe was a wonderful host. Rooms were yes, a bit dated and basic but comfortable. Bathroom was also a but tired. However the main house was ideal for meals with a lovely setting, service and meals. Only a mild stroll into town and... More

Large rooms. Clean, Quite, beatiful garden. A lttle disappointed by the bathrooms. Very good breakfast and service. Welcome a little bit cold and impersonnel. Very difficult to find someone to help and provide advises on things to do in the surroundings. Stuck-up owner? Can be dangerous: we faced an Hippo at 8pm (2 meters from us).

We were hugely disappointed by our stay here, especially after all the other good reviews on the site and the fantastic places on the rest of our trip. I'm not sure whether the problem was that the owner was ill when we stayed and hadn't arranged proper cover. There was noone there when we arrived (we had emailed in advance... More

My husband Tom and I and our friends Shawn and Jen stayed here for only one night in early May. It was a lovely spot to begin our South African holiday. The hostess was wonderful, rooms beautifully done with outdoor sitting areas, and hospitality was first rate. There was a pool, which we didn't use, and a fantastic outdoor eating... More

Stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. The accommodation was everything we needed. The beakfast was superb and the location was perfect. The lodge is situated at the very end of the main street but St Lucia is not a huge place so nothing is too far away. We were told about the hippos but that at... More

the most relaxing place in the middle of paradise.. and sooooo many things to see in the wetlandnationalpark. amazing beaches! you don't think that on the end of the mainstreet this guesthouse surprises you with such a lovely hospitality. the rooms are very nice designed and the breakfirst is very tasty! and if it's going to be to hot you...

Certainly not worth its 4 star rating. Luke warm welcome. Uninterested and sullen staff. Rooms worn out and scantilly provided.No soap, shampoo or bottled water in room upon arrival. Perhaps up to standard in the past but now on a downhill slope, due to neglect. Worst experience this year during our 5th visit to wonderful South-Africa.

have been there with 3 people in two beautiful rooms in a very nice garding (with hippos, crocos and lephards). rooms are decorated very charmful. breakfast very good. best of the lodge is the hosting owner, a very lovely and humorous lady, Michelle. the house also has a pool and a chilling lounge with some books etc. michelle will also...
