Guest Reviews
- florian (10/5): Hébergement idéal à St Lucia - Tout! Confort, emplacement, propreté, équipement, gentillesse des hôtes… recommandé à 100%
- LAURENCE (8/5): - L accueil extrêmement chaleureux avec une communication rapide et facile . Nous avons séjourné 2 nuits . Emplacement idéal à 2 mn à pied de l artère principale. Appartement confortable pour 4. Dommage que le ventilateur d une des 2 chambres fasse tellement de bruit qu il était impossible de le mettre en marche et pas de Clim ( dormir la porte grande ouverte avec Clim du salon ) et aucun rangement dans la salle de bain pour 4 personnes .
- Mathilde (10/5): Super locatie en vriendelijke host. - Super vriendelijke host, wil je overal bij helpen. Top locatie. Je kunt zo tussendoor naar de mckenzie street (de hoofdstraat). Lekker gegeten bij reef and Dune. En hippo en krokodillen tour gedaan. Alle faciliteiten waren perfect en het zwembad was ook mooi schoon. Helaas 2 avonden geen hippo’s door de straten gezien. (Kan het verblijf overigens natuurlijk niks aan doen)
- sarah (10/5): - A lovely apartment well equipped and well positioned in the town . The host Nicky was great providing us with useful info when we set off to track down the hippos .
- Ashleigh (10/5): It was absolutely stunning and would definitely recommend anyone looking to stay in St Lucia. - The property was neat and well looked after Nothing
- Sinethemba (10/5): Awesome stay as always , Nicky is just wonderful. This is definitely my favorite place to stay at st Lucia. - Great peaceful location , the apartment has everything you need for your stay. Nothing at all , everything was perfect as always
- Sara (10/5): Beautiful, highly recommended lodging in St Lucia - The nicest place we've stayed in South Africa and one of the nicest places we've ever stayed :3. Great location walking distance from wildlife trail and a short drive from iSimangaliso. Comfortable bed, cold AC, washing machine, hot DOUBLE shower! Lovely host. Nothing!
- Dorin (9/5): -
- Marleen (8/5): Mooie plek, vriendelijke eigenaren, fijn appartement - De locatie, de 2 douches, overdekte parkeerplaats
- Jeroen (10/5): Zeer aangenaam - Rustig, ruim appartement, goed uitgeruste keuken, vlak bij het centrum, vriendelijke hosts, vlotte communicatie
- Conny (10/5): Uitstekend vwrblijf. Het ontbreekt aan niets - Alles en de host was zo vriendelijk en behulpzaam Niets
- Ela (8/5): - We liked our stay. We loved the fact that the owners were engaged in protecting hippos in town
- Iain (9/5): Lovely place. Definitely somewhere to stay again! - Lovely, clean & comfortable unit. Great location for town. Peaceful. Use of the sparklingly clean pool was greatly appreciated! Nicky is a great host; very warm, helpful & welcoming! Ideally the second bedroom would benefit from an air con. But we did stay on 2 very hot days!
- Pascal (9/5): Agréable séjour grâce aussi à la disponibilité de nos hôtes. - Très bien situé, cœur de ville, pratique pour la restauration et les visites ,
La gentillesse et la disponibilité de nos hôtes qui nous ont aidé dans l’organisation de notre séjour.
- Everlundaff (9/5): - Große Wohnung, die sehr zentral liegt. Außerdem gibt es einen schönen Grillplatz.
Wir haben uns hier sehr sicher gefühlt.
Gleich um die Ecke gibt es einige Restaurants und auch einen Spar.
Lucia bietet viel an Unternehmungen, das meiste kann man aber eigentlich auf eigene Faust machen. Die Hypo-Tour fanden wir nicht so toll, aber das kann natürlich einen Momentaufnahme sein.
Nicki ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und hilft auch in jeder Hinsicht. Den Pool haben wir nicht benutzt,, dazu war es zu kalt Er gehört zu einer Wohngemeinschaft..
- Norbert (9/5): Alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Schöne Unterkunft. - Die Hippo Tour kann ich nicht empfehlen. Aber da hat die Unterkunft nichts mit zu tun!
- Manuel (9/5): - Very nice and welcoming hosts. The appartment was clean and very well equipped.
- Justin (10/5): - Communication with Nicky (host) was easy. We were able to check in (and out) even though she wasn't there at first. The grounds, houses, and apartment are beautiful and huge. We felt very comfortable. Nicky gave us great tips on activities, restaurants, and where to find hippos in the city at night. Great stay! Very good Wi-Fi. Nothing.
- C Colin (10/5): Super logement - Fonctionnel, spacieux, bien équipé, situé dans le centre de St Lucia. Ajoutez un acceuil chaleureux et mon seul regret est de ne pas pouvoir noter 11/10 !
- Mireia (10/5): - La casa molt còmoda, neta i amb petits detalls sabó, oli, sal, te, cafè que s'agraeix en quan estàs de ruta Res
- Paulo Conceicao (9/5): - The location and the owner are top. Too much stairs to access the house, especially if you are travelling with too many luggage
- Christian (10/5): - Tolle Unterkunft in ruhiger und trotzdem sehr zentraler Lage. Gemütliche Räumlichkeiten mit vollständiger Ausstattung. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr sympathisch und hilfsbereit. Hier kann man gut auch mehrere Tage bleiben.
- Alex (10/5): Great location, very friendly and helpful staff! - Great location, very friendly and helpful staff!

- Jeremy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jill (9/5): Two nights were perfect no problems - No Brealfast ,location perfect Everything was great but there were a lot of steps but the host & son helped us with our luggage.
- Van (9/5): We had a wonderful stay at the house. Nicky and Dan are amazing hosts. Would definitly recommend - Super friendly host and very accommodating
- Katja (8/5): A lovely, spacious apartment with everything you need. - A bright and friendly apartment on the first floor, including sunset views.
The apartment is well equipped, and I especially liked the spacious open-plan kitchen and living area. We had everything we needed — there’s even a washing machine, which was very convenient.
Nicky, the host, gave us a warm welcome and shared many helpful tips about Saint Lucia. She was always very kind and supportive whenever we needed anything. The bed was a bit too short for us.
The apartment is located on the first floor, so we had to carry our suitcases up a narrow staircase, which wasn’t very convenient and can get quite slippery when it rains.
- Ilse (10/5): Exceptional - Clean swimming pool and cozy apartment.
- Megan (10/5): Exceptional -
- De (9/5): Superb - Comfortable and clean accommodation Aircon in 2nd bedroom would be ideal
- Stef (9/5): Lovely spot, nice rooms good braai area, lovely staff - Lovely host Must pay extra from room clean
- Eddy (9/5): Comfortable break on the Northern East-coast. - The proximity of Sta.Lucia center with restaurants.
The Wetlands Natl. park nearby. The streetwalking hippo's didn't feel to surprise us, and didn't show. LOL
- Andrew (8/5): A great place to relax and recharge the batteries. - The host,Nicky,was a lovely lady who went out of her way to assist in any way possible.Having a washing machine in the unit is always a bonus and it was clean and comfortable as well as secure with a locked gate. A table,instead of benches and high chairs,would have been preferable and the overhead fan in the second bedroom was very noisy.However there was a pedestal fan.All in all though a very comfortable stay.
- Marcel (9/5): Superb - Nicky and Daniel are lovely hosts. We liked how clean the appartment was!
- David (9/5): Confortable and well located - Washing machine, very helpful host, good location No dishwasher

- Katharine (10/5): Highly recommend. Wish we’d stayed longer. - Delightful hosts who could not have done more to make it an enjoyable stay. They booked the sunset hippo boat tour for us.
A spacious, well appointed apartment close to restaurants and shops. Nothing
- Vicki (10/5): Highly recommend. - Owners were extremely accommodating and so nice. Place was comfortable with good wifi, tv, hot water with good pressure. Bed was comfortable with good linens. Had backup during load shedding. Had a gas stove for use during outage. Secure parking. Walking distance to many restaurants, shops and markets. Could have a small table to eat at.
- Roxanne (10/5): Perfect girls' weekend - This place was perfect for a relaxed weekend away in a safe environment. It was neat and comfortable and we didn't feel like anything was missing! The location is perfect to be able to walk to all the restaurants, without being on the busy main road! The owners are very kind and friendly. I would gladly recommend this accommodation to a small group of friends or 2 couples, and I would definitely stay here again!
- Robert (9/5): Though this place is new to the site, it is definitely worth consideration when staying in St. Lucia - I like the fact that there were two rooms with a total of four beds, and the hosts were excellent. They immediately met us upon arrival and made sure we had everything we needed for the stay. Nothing that I noticed.
