    The room was lovely - only that we experienced some noise from the room next door when they took a shower/bath - the plumbing in the walls (or something) was a bit noisey after we had already gone to sleep.

    Such a welcoming, homely house with beautiful gardens and decor... a real home. The breakfast was lovely, manager was so helpful in booking our river cruise and discount for restaurants and they are just opposite the park where the hippos come to graze at night! Lovely room, bath and bed.

    The guesthouse is located quite in the center of Santa Lucia, a touristic enclave in South Africa. The guesthouse is an old colonial house which offers much comfort. Rooms are spacious, clean and the property has a nice well cared garden. The bathroom was clean, air condition was working well. There has been an international plug converter for foreign plugs. The owners of the guesthouse seem not to live at this house, but there is staff who cares about the place and makes the bookings. Shea-Lynn was very friendly and helpful with different things at our stay. She told us about the restaurants in that region, tours and possible excursions. The breakfast was a buffet of different tasty things, we enjoyed it quite much. There was also an laundry service, which could be used for money.

    The shower drain in one of our rooms was slow. The pool was not accessible. Keys were dropped off with maid and not owner….would have liked to inform him of slow shower drain.

    The owner was extremely accommodating by ensuring my family and I had adjoining rooms at no extra cost. The breakfast made to order by Patience every morning was exceptional! Location made for a very close and easy walk to restaurants and shopping.

    Everything! The room is spacious, is well equipped and has a comfy bed. The windows have mosquito nets, though some might need replacing. It is very cosy and has a homely feel to the place. The owners are very accommodating and lovely people. Also the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is amazing. It is located near the main road where the restaurants are.

    Two rooms have no wifi connnection. For us not a problem because we have our own portable router. For others this might be a problem as it is not indicated when you book the room Lovelely B&B but if you need WiFi make sure you are not in room 5 or 6

    SLGH is a very nice place to stay. Spacious room. Restaurants within walking distance, very helpful and assisting proprietors, lovely breakfast. Excellent place to stay!
