    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.

    If I was trying to find something, the information book cojkd do with updating as Ocean Basket is no longer there. Otherwise there is nothing.

    Elne, Yvonne and Flip were the most gracious hosts, as for the breakfast - the best yet. It was the little extras that made so much of a difference from the homemade hash browns, delicious banana cake to the most fluffiest crumpets. Thank you Yvonne for the love and care you have shown in this amazing B and B. I loved the fact there was no TV in the room, as a family we actually got to talk.

    What a fantastic little spot in St Lucia. Close enough to the main road for a quick pop out, but still quiet and peaceful. The gardens, rooms, and facilities are well looked after and gorgeous! The place is impeccably kept and not a spot of dust was seen. We particularly loved that borehole water was used, making it an eco-friendly option.

    Beautiful and lovely accomodation. We went snorkeling early in the morning one day and would miss the breakfast, but the owner was attentive and prepared a cooling box with sandwiches, joghurts, fruits and juices so we would have something for our stomachs. We really recommend it.

    Very nice house with a shared lounge, spacious bedroom, very comfortable beds, excellent breakfast. We had tours organised : Zululand with a local guide (I recommend it), whales watching. The manager is very nice.

    • Stayed 2 nights

    Bathrooms built into bedroom with a skinny drywall partition that only goes two-third to ceiling, so no privacy if you are with a partner. You easily hear people in other rooms, but in general quiet enough.

    Safe parking behind a gate, very close to the main road where "everything" is located. Friendly management, large rooms, good and practical furniture.

    The bed was a bit hard, but we could stay for four nights with no severe issues.

    The family room was large enough to accommodate four people. The breakfast was very delicious and fresh. They offered a new hot meal every day, which was perfect, and we really liked them. Rooms all have aircon, which gives you the option to control the room temperature on rainy and cold days. Ask the owner to help you with arranging the tours.

    Nothing, it was perfect

    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.

    Wonderful host, awesome room and great location. If you're looking for a place to stay in St. Lucia, look no further. The hostess waited for us upon arrival with all forms filled out (this is something you really don't want to do after a few hours of driving). Also, the room was really big with a walk in shower. And the breakfast was very good. Fresh bread and juices, condiments and ready by order eggs with extras. Also the hostess will help with booking anything and recommending the best places to go, things to do and restaurants to eat at. We can't think of a reason not to stay here.
