- Kevin (4/5): Disappointing - There was a bat in our lounge on the last evening and we couldn't get it out so I closed myself in my room because I am afraid of them.
Also there was some poo on my pillow and sheet on the last evening, not sure if it was a bird or what but I wasn't prepared to sleep in the bed.
Otherwise a good experience overall.
- Christiaan (9/5): Superb -
- Oscar (10/5): Very nice place to stay; highly recommended. - This was a great place to say. The hosts were extremely friendly, it is very comfortable and the location, with beautiful coastal forest right on the doorstep was terrific and very peaceful.
- Potgieter (10/5): Comfortable, inviting, a true st Lucia feel to it. Clean! -
- A (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maxine (9/5): Superb -
- Clifford (10/5): Excellent facilities located in a beautiful quiet setting. Private sitting area outside. - Excellent location. Well stocked kitchen. Host provided lots of helpful information. Pool wasn't clean at any point during our stay. Leaves, etc. floating.
- Evan (9/5): Superb -
- Brian (9/5): Superb - Lovely host/owner, great peaceful location
- Ruth (8/5): Very good - Lovely garden and very convenient as it is close to restaurants and activities. The hostess was very friendly and helpful and told us how to get to Cape Vidal and what routes to take or not to take. The cottage is private and comfortable with a gas stove, which would be convenient when there is loadshedding. We had a very enjoyable stay and I would like to come again. The bedroom with the double bed is a bit small, but the bedroom with the two single beds is a good size.
- Hege (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marie (10/5): The best!!!!! - My hubby and I had the most lovely, relaxing and peaceful stay. There is not one thing that comes to mind that was out of place. The owners were so friendly and helpful, the staff as well. Cannot wait to come back. A real gem. Thank you once again. Coming back home.....
- Pavel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Graeme (10/5): Quiet/ value for money - Value for money, in a quiet Cul de Sac, designated under cover parking. Friendly staff. Would definitely use the accommodation again. A standing lamp in the lounge area, fluorescent lighting a bit harsh.
- Tienie (6/5): Allways enjoy a stay in st.Lucia - No water when the power was off.
Airconditioner in the sittingroom area not working.
- Vanessa (9/5): Wonderful and look forward to booking again in 2024 all going well - Hostess was very accommodating and made us feel welcome despite the late arrival of 10.30pm Not Applicable
- Tijsco (8/5): Very good - Nice and clean place with well-equiped kitchen and braai. Friendly host and well maintained garden to sit in. A little far to walk to the center of St. Lucia and a proper door for the bedroom would be nice.
- Michael (7/5): It was good to have a central base, not luxurious but clean and had all we needed - Sure it would cost more but would love a view of the lake
- Henk (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ruth (9/5): Good value - Was nicely situated and clean. Had all we required for our stay. Nice and quiet. Would like to have had mattress and pillow protector on the beds. Decor was bit tired but definitely value for money
- Arthur (9/5): Superb -
- Ivo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kobus (8/5): Very good -
- Riana (10/5): Exceptional - The sofas need some loving attention
- Ronen (6/5): Pleasant - The location was good, the landlady Imelda does everything to make sure the room is of a poor standard.
- Noemie (10/5): Authentic accommodation with a lovely garden, owned by a greatly knowledgeable host - Among all the accommodations we have seen from outside on the Main Street, I do believe that St Lucia Wilds was the most charming. The front garden is absolutely fantastic, so is the one in the backend. If our cottage looked a bit oldish, it was well expected as per the pictures on Booking. Frankly all the necessary was there and beds were cosy. The owner Imelda is really lovely, she can tell you many things about the region. She has also been very arranging in terms of scheduling. I strongly recommend it for a nice and cosy stay. -
- Sandra (9/5): Superb - Warm and help from Imelda
- Lois (8/5): A restful and comfortable stay, exceptional value for money and full of olde-world nostalgia. - 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? The monkeys executed a textbook and lightening raid on the kitchen and stole my paw-paw! (Papaya) Much stronger and secure mosquito screens would be a BIG bonus. The screen door was closed but they simply pulled it open.
- Irene (8/5): Good value for money - This location was good; on walking distance of the village . It was very quiet and there was a big garden towards the water. The accommodation is not luxurious but clean. The kitchen is very well equipped!! Nothing
- Daria (7/5): Friendly and knowledgeable host. Accomodation comfortable, clean and in a great location - Location was great. Just off the main road with all the shops. Within short walking distance to all the restaurants. More towels in bathroom
- Andre (9/5): Superb - Thank you Imelda for your hospitality. Both you and your hubby made us feel very welcome.
I love your touch of artistic flair all over the place and theirs a certain calmness you bring to the surroundings.
Even though it was cold, I much enjoyed the outdoor seating area. The idea of a galary on the premises is super cool.
I should add, this is one of the few places I've been at during my stay in SA who is fully prepared for loadshedding.
We booked out ontime and Rose was kind enough to keep out luggage for another 3hours until we finished our boat tour. We truly appreciated the gesture 👏 🙏🏽 ❤ None whatsoever
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - huge house! so friendly people. everything you need is there. nothing, perfect!
- Marius (9/5): Superb - The owners was absolutely awesome...place very clean and well equipped
- Adrià (10/5): Lovely and comfortable - very quiet and lovely staff
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr große und geräumige und saubere Unterkunft. Sehr gutes Wlan. Man kann alles in der Gehend zu Fuß erreichen.
- Juan C (10/5): Excellent accommodation and wonderful hosts - We absolutely loved Santa Lucia Wilds and the owners were wonderful hosts making you feel at home and providing all sorts of useful tips about the area. Our unit was very comfortable, spacious (living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom) and very well equipped. Comfortable beds and a quiet environment for a good nights sleep. The private garden with grill was fabulous. Lots of restaurants and shops within a ten minute walk and hiking trail just outside the property. Many thanks to the owners for such a lovely stay. We are looking forward to coming back soon.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Die Unterkunft hat voll und ganz unseren Erwartung entsprochen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder im St. Lucia Wilds übernachten.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Großes Haus in ruhiger Lage - Sehr groß, sauber und etwas abseits vom Trubel der Stadt. Super nett. Perfekt für Familien.
- Ruth Ann (8/5): Great little find - Owner of cottages was helpful. Good braai area. Nice place to stay for a few days or a week.
