The distance is very long to travel and the roads are not soo good. The place is very calming, peaceful, clean and has a lot to see. We went to the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park which was a long drive but enjoyed every moment. The food from Reef Dune and John Dory's was amazing. We felt our weekend was very short but every moment was worth it.

Beautiful beaches and town. Boat trip on the Estuary was lovely. Best part was the drive to Cape vidal. Saw plenty of wildlife on the way including elephant, rhino, Buffalo, different types of buck and warthog.

Expensive small tourist town in which the majority of black people are there to work but do not live there and do not own much of the local economy, except being service providers. The St Lucia Wetlands Park Authority and other entities have a lot of work to do, to ensure black investment in the tourism sector as owners rather than servants. The racial and ethnical picture in the restaurants is very deplorable and has not changed much since apartheid. This makes the town, not the best place to visit for holiday. I would not visit for a long time for leisure to spend my hard earned black cash is an economy that is refusing to change. The private sector operating here needs to enjoin government efforts for economic transformation and support the diversification of the tourist sector - not by fronting but real transformation.

ST as we call it here in Joburg is a beautiful place with plenty to see an do if you have the transport. Walking around town is not a problem because it's "short and sweet' yet full of attractions, shops and restaurants just as in any self-respectful beach destination. Full of places to rest in and dine. Beaches need transport but in our country if you have no wheels you stay home! Trust me it's well worth it! UNESCO parks, Big (4) cos' no Lions allowed ;-) 25degC ocean water and a lots of fun! Activities can be found with a short search so I'm not going to go that deep.
And, to answer Booking.com's robot:
"What would you avoid on your next visit?"

Come visit ST...and prove me wrong!

St Lucia must certainly be one of the best small towns in South Africa. The character and charm is unbeatable. The locals are welcoming, helpful and just fantastic people. The choice of restaurants, curios shops, art and craft shops, the village market, wildlife in the town is amazing and simply wonderful!
Very nice place to stay in the area of St Lucia. We got an free upgrade of the room! The staff was very kind and helpful. The bungalow we got was very spacious and the private pool is a real plus. WiFi worked great. The lodge is situated in a private and gated area with lots of security so we had a very safe feeling. There are animals on the property which made the stay even better! Keep in mind that the lodge is located about 25 minutes driving from St Lucia. Will definitely come back.
We had a fantastic time staying at AmaZulu. Not only is it conveniently located, with clean, comfortable rooms, a lovely pool and delicious breakfast, but are staff were exceptional. We felt welcomed and taken care of the entire time. They generously helped us book a fairly last minute river cruise, and provided helpful recommendations for other activities, and restaurants to visit in the area. We will definitely be staying with AmaZulu the next time we visit St. Lucia.
There was no breakfast. It is a self catering cottage. The apartment catered to all our needs.
When we entered the apartment, the aircon and lights were switched on which is amazing as we arrived at night and after a long journey, the cool, welcoming, well arranged apartment felt like a home away from home!
It was quiet and nobody bothered us. We would love to stay again but for longer next time!
Beautiful rooms! Each room is stunning and we loved ours which overlooked the pool with an ocean view. The host and staff are so helpful, warm and friendly. Madeleine went out of her way to highlight activities and places to go in St Lucia, with plenty of tips and guidance! Luxury lodging with nature all around you. Perfect for our 2 year anniversary ♥ We will be back!
It is nice, clean, has enough room for two families. We loved the fact that everything you need is there. It is self catering and has a daily housekeeper and gardener. The location is very close to town within walking distance to town. We all felt very safe at this property. It is in a very quiet neighborhood with no distractions or disturbances.
Adrian went out of his way to help us with a great itinerary for our stay in St Lucia and was extremely helpful, even lending us equipment to enjoy a day on the beach. The room was very comfortable and nicely furnished, and breakfast was excellent. The surrounding area is very interesting and incredibly beautiful.
Thank you to Mark & Sibongile for making our stay so comfortable. The unit was very clean and very comfortable. The unit is so tastefully decorated, so classy. Great location and secure. You forget you are in South Africa as you feel safe and secure. Mark was great as he took time to chat to us. Thank you.
The lodge is in a central Location in St Lucia. It’s exceptionally well maintained and our self catering room and facilities were amazing. We couldn’t have wished for a nicer place to stay. Tessa and staff were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us.
Thank you so much!
Got a very good deal for 4 days stay at the property. I had stayed in the other places in St. Lucia in the previous visits. The place is definitely worth its value, especially travel as a group. The rooms are clean and spacious, the kitench has everything you need.
Everything far exceeds what is advertised. Very comfortable and clean... stunning kitchens. This is a 5 star place. The staff is very friendly and thoughtful.
The best place to stay with family in St Lucia.
Will definately be staying here again.
A beautiful hotel that felt like a rainforest oasis. The owners were super helpful and friendly and the breakfasts tasty. It was just a block from the main road but totally quiet, tranquil and restful.
one of the most beautifully decorated and comfortable stay I have had in my many travels around South Africa with a definite luxurious feel.
great rooms, great breakfast, good location, friendly staff
Nice hotel with very friendly host in the pretty town of St Lucia.. Whale watching and running into Rhinos in the street was an experience.. Having dinner at Reef @ Dune was very good
It was close to everything in St lucia and the unit I stayed in number 29 was very clean, it had an aircon in the main bedroom and lounge and it had a fully equipped kitchen.
