My girlfriend and myself were positively surprised by this piece of great architecture in the middle of the wetlands. Olga and Hans are very hospitable, the rooms are just great, and the guesthouse is a good base for trips to the beach/wetlands/game reserves. Johan van Erp

Contemporary design house with great comfort. Spacious rooms, lot of space. Olga and Hans, their friend Jacqueline are "aux petits soins" to make your stay as unforgettable as possible. Great breakfast. Large swimming pool, and the park. Deers, Vervet monkeys ... and hippos at night. St Lucia is an ideal base to explore the surroundings like Imfolozi (forget Hluhluwe, lack... More

Bathroom is also very spacious and modern. The breakfast is served at the table and it includes everything you can wish for (every day a nice fruity... More

Thanks to Hans and Olga for the hospitality in the beautiful Serene Estate. Excellent breakfast and room. Cape Vidal, St Lucia and the hippos/crocodiles are certainly worth the visit.

We loved the spacious, modern design of this guest house. We were so well looked after by Olga and Hans who gave us good advice and have lots of leaflets and information about local attractions. The breakfast was creatively constructed and each morning we looked forward to see what would appear. They still have plans to develop the property -... More
