Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from all the shops and restaurants in town. The view from the upstairs balcony was great, especially at sunset. The unit was clean and very well equipped.

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.
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.

St Lucia is clean. I was walking at night alone and felt safe. Enjoyed the cruise with Fannas to see the hippos.
Enough restaurants to eat out.
No beggars on street corners or street children.
The beaches are clean.

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?"
A; My mother's snoring ;-)
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!
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.
Lovely town. Flamingo is situated in the main road but very close to the beaches. We enjoyed the main swimmjng beach and Ingwe beach. Mission rocks is closeby and so beautiful. We saw turtle swimming in the ocean. Cape Vidal is lovely. Beach is amazing at low tide. There is lots to do and see in St Lucia and we loved waking into town every night. All units face the swimming pool. We swam every day. Staff were very pleasant. You wont be sorry.
Good location, nice and quiet. The property is a real window into the past....very much part of a bygone age, with memories of childhood family holidays in a simpler time. I found it to be delightful and, apart from the bedroom with double bed, very spacious. Imelda was a charming host, extremely helpful without being intrusive. I would most definitely return if I still lived in South Africa....but then again, who knows?
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!
Hennie and Ilze are the greatest hosts ever! They made us feel like home within the first minute. Great explanation of the area and they helped us book a boat took to see hippo’s and crocs. Breakfast is also cozy where there is a small yoghurt and toast buffet and they prepare a hot breakfast fresh to order. All and all an amazing stay in St Lucia. We’ll be coming back for sure!
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.
Marlize & Johan really thought of everything & we had a very comfortable & enjoyable 4 night stay in St Lucia at Turaco. From the delicious breakfast to the very comfy bed, everything was thought of at a very high standard. You don't need to worry about load shedding as this is not an issue at Turaco. We would not hesitate to return.
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.
The welcoming staff with a friendly smile and our room was very clean and for organizing the room for my boyfriend birthday .And in future if my friends are visiting St Lucia Lodge i will recommend you guys.Thank you very much for your hospitality and God bless you guys. 🙏🫂
The people who run the Guest House are super friendly and help you with everything, from reservations for excursions to helpful tips for your stay. The breakfast is delightful! We would definitely recommend a stay here when visiting St. Lucia.
Quiet beautiful scenery, located close to the beach, beautiful town scenery,, happy cheerful staff always ready to assist,, comfy bedding, self catering facilities,, super fast wifi,, will definitely go there more often
I fell in love with St Lucia... We had the best time. Charmaine the manager is amazing! We took the time to go snorkelling, made a boat trip to see the hippos and had a lovely dinner in town. I can't wait to come back.
We stayed in the family room! So spacious and had everything we needed. We used the self catering unit. But had the lodges delicious breakfast buffet. They had so much to choose from. Something for everyone.
Our stay at Parkers began with the super enthousiastic and friendly welcome by our host. She was during our stay very helpful. Cleanest room of South Africa. Great breakfast. Good atmosphere.
I really loved the style of place and the kindness of the owner! He was so careful about every detail… And breakfast was the best of my entire trip around South Africa!
