Henk & Riana
Clean, spacious and comfortable - very popular with self-drive tourists, spacious enough for a family or a group of friends traveling together. 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms Sleep 8 people Your own private garden Outside garden shower BBQ ROOM St Lucia is for families looking to be active together and having more authentic experiences on holiday, creating positive memories. Multi-generational Family Vacation We are passionate about our people, especially our family and friends which is why we’ve created a homely feel at our Cottage. So kick back and relax, this is your space .... “Don’t just go there... truly live there” There's no place like home" but we come pretty close!
Hello, SANIBONANI (“welcome to all”) as they say in Zulu - we are Henk and Riana and we farm in Zululand. We the owners don’t live in St Lucia, we live on a farm in Melmoth, about 2 hours drive from St Lucia where we farm sugarcane and Avocado’s. We supply the local market and export our avocados to Europe. Harvest time is from June to November. Why not add a farm experience to your trip and book our FARMSTAY cottage, Avocado and Sugarcane Farmstay? So sorry we can't meet you all!!!
In St. Lucia you can find everything you need within walking distance. There is a well stocked SPAR supermarket, a dozen restaurants, butchery inside SPAR and Fruitspot, bakery inside SPAR, Laundromat, liquor stores, a fuel station, Post Office, Internet Cafes, banks and ATM's, several fishing tackle shops, a hairdresser, variety of curio shops and not to be missed the locally produced fruit & craft market! What to do? Do the Boat Cruise on the St Lucia Estuary A trip to Cape Vidal A self drive or book a game drive to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, about one hour from St Lucia and worth the trek for Big Five sightings. Restaurants: Ocean Basket and Braza: Next door to each other, you can eat from either menu John Dory's: (Wednesdays), Sushi half price Reef and Dune: their pizza and pasta are definitely the best in town! St Lucia Ski Boat Club: a good place to meet the locals and have a sundowner or something to eat. The most stunning venue for views on the Estuary with the Hippos and crocodiles lying on the sand beds. Don't miss Thyme coffee shop Wetlands and Wildlife -Sample mother nature at her best..
