This was our first time at a guesthouse (as we usually stay in hotels) and we were pleasantly surprised at the hospitality. Francois and Rika are a lovely couple , they made us feel very special. Breakfast was superb. Rooms immaculate. Location was very convenient, nearby to all shops and restaurants. We had a pleasant stay. Hope to go back... More

Francois and Rika made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The rooms are spacious and it was great to have filter coffee in the room. Breakfasts were fantastic and more than enough. As a tour guide I have stayed in many B&B's etc and Santa Lucia knocks the socks off the others. Thanks to our hosts for... More

On reading the experiences of other guests who have stayed there, our memories are refreshed and we are determined to get there again... More

Our stay with Rika, Marti and Francois in the guesthouse was exactly like that. As a family of 4 with a smaller child and a teenage girl we had a wonderful time in Saint Lucia. The guesthouse is a lovely place with an amazing breakfast and spacious rooms. Being able to walk to dinner in the evening is another advantage.... More

Rika,Francois, and Marti were amazing hosts. From the very first moment we arrived they made us feel very welcome. They were all very knowledgeable and helpful about everything to see and do in the area. They loaned us bird books, snorkeling gear, beach chairs and cooler. The guest house is beautiful, very clean, meticulous grounds, and artwork everywhere. The food... More

This is a beautiful home, nestled amongst green trees, foliage and sub-tropical plants. The rooms are very comfortable, furnished in "Afrikaner" style so you will experience the true warmth and hospitality of an Afrikaans family here. It is the tradition of our country. There is really nothing missing - every conceivable nick nack has been provided; scissors, hairdryers, pen knives,... More

We cannot speak highly enough of Santa Lucia Guest House where we spent 2 nights in January this year. Rika and Francois, along with Martie and staff, are just the most wonderful, warm friendly and caring hosts, who even went that extra mile to satisfy all our needs. The breakfasts were just delicious and we found the rooms to be... More

We were stayed in St.Lucia Guest House only two nights (20.02-22.02.2012), but it was the most beautyful experience of accommodation on our long way from Cape Town to JBG.Our hosts, Rika & Francois are wonderful people. Their care about guest is nearly undescribeable.High level of hospitality, tiny pleasures during a day, beautyful garden,lovely place, nice and convenience rooms, but mainly... More
