Company information

Our company was founded in 2021 and we recently purchased the properties in St Lucia where we have made home since emigrating from Scotland in April 2023. With over 40 years (combined) of Hospitality experience we are commited to making your holiday dreams come true. Daniel is a keen fisherman and is always open to helping anyone who is keen to pick up a rod! We can also offer pet sitting and babysitting should you require this as well as being able to go the extra mile should you need birthday cakes while you are staying!

Property information

Our 2 bedroom apartment is a proper home from home with all you need to enjoy your stay. Modern with comfortable furniture, a huge double shower, NO LOADSHEDDING due to our solar inverter system and Netflix/Disney for those nights on the sofa. Our braai terrace is a hit with everyone and you can relax in the garden or by the poolside lapa.

Neighbourhood information

The area is right in the centre of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa's first Unesco World Heritage Site (given the title in 1999). Home to 4 of the 'big 5' and where the hippos are our neighbourly grass cutters every evening when they roam the residential streets. The place is a wild life lovers paradise.
