iGwalagwala Guest House
91 Pelican Street, 3936 St Lucia, South Africa – Excellent location - show map
Very friendly and helpful hosts. We stayed in a family room (3p) which had ample room to still move around. Rooms open onto pool. Nice gazebo in the garden for guests to use. Delicious hot breakfast and home made bread! Hippos down the street were a bonus.
