I really loved the style of place and the kindness of the owner! He was so careful about every detail… And breakfast was the best of my entire trip around South Africa!

    From the 1st moment on arrival you are made to feel at home! The garden, pool and lapa area is beautiful and well kept. Breakfast was fantastic. The room was very clean and spacious with stunning art work! I got to experience a hippo walk by the lodge that night while I was standing by the lodge gate. I highly recommend staying at this lodge, which according to me can easily qualify as a 5 star lodge. Thank you Esmerie and staff for making my stay so memorable, even though I only stayed the one night.

    The property was spotless, and beautifully designed. It was very spacious, with some great shelves, a wardrobe, fridge and a great big bathroom. The doors opening up to the pool area were great. Breakfast was lovely, and there were lots of relaxing open spaces to sit. The location is perfect, so easy to walk to town, we even saw hippos on our first night! Parking is secure.

    A spectacular location, close to the beach and restaurants, in the little town of St Lucia. The space is well-designed, exceptionally clean and includes all comforts to make one's stay a super comfortable one. Bertus and his team are fantastic and generous in providing a super comfortable stay, with lots of attention to detail. The breakfast was lovely and the breakfast team even made me a vegetarian breakfast! Highly recommended! Hoping to return soon.

    It's so beautiful the grounds, complex and area and conveniently situated close to everything. Lovely pool for the windy days, gorgeous set up. Spacious unit allows for comfortable stay even with a full 6 people. Joey the host was awesome, checked in on us and made sure we were fine. Came and helped with some of the things mentioned above, but some of those things need maintenance work done. She was very accommodating and is a definite bonus to your unit.
