Great Host, very nice apartment in a good position. The apartment was clean and full furnished.
Nothing.
I had a wonderful stay here! Nicky and her family are incredibly welcoming, helpful and kind - One evening she took me to spot the townie hippos and also gave me a little cake on my birthday! The space itself is large with very comfortable bedroom, living room, bathroom and outside seating areas as well. Distance from the main part of town is about 2 mins walk via a pathway, which was absolutely perfect for restaurants. The kitchen is also well equipped for cooing at home too. Highly recommended!
Ligging, compleet, vriendelijke en behulpzame mensen. Fijn om als gezin in zo’n appartement te verblijven.
De kastjes en laatjes die niet veel gebruikt worden mogen uitgezocht worden.

Perfect location. Great apartment. Super clean and well equipped. Nicky was lovely and so helpful.
Maybe get a new mattress for the double bed. I could feel the springs in it - but still slept well!
Logement très confortable et super bien équipé (airfryer, barbecue, machine à laver et fils a linge sur la terrasse, piscine dansla résidence...). Il est idéalement situé pour se déplacer à pied dans la ville. Nicky est une hôte très bienveillante et au petit soin. Je recommande vivement ce logement pour découvrir Ste Lucie.
Locatie vriendelijke en behulpzame host die zeer bereikbaar is
Appartement is eerder voor 4 dan voor 5 uitgerust maar voldeed wel voor een kort verblijf.
De gastvrouw is ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Appartement agréable disposant de toutes les commodités. Super accueil de Nick, qui nous a expliqué beaucoup de choses sur la ville et ses alentours.
Literie un peu inconfortable
Super toll gelegen, sehr sicher, super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, Nicky ist sehr nett und hilft immer weiter. Man ist gleich im Isimangaliso Wetland Park und kann super viel unternehmen.
Tout! Confort, emplacement, propreté, équipement, gentillesse des hôtes… recommandé à 100%
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 .
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)
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 .
The property was neat and well looked after
Nothing
Great peaceful location , the apartment has everything you need for your stay.
Nothing at all , everything was perfect as always
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!
De locatie, de 2 douches, overdekte parkeerplaats
Rustig, ruim appartement, goed uitgeruste keuken, vlak bij het centrum, vriendelijke hosts, vlotte communicatie
Alles en de host was zo vriendelijk en behulpzaam
Niets
We liked our stay. We loved the fact that the owners were engaged in protecting hippos in town
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!
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.
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..
Die Hippo Tour kann ich nicht empfehlen. Aber da hat die Unterkunft nichts mit zu tun!
Very nice and welcoming hosts. The appartment was clean and very well equipped.
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.
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 !
La casa molt còmoda, neta i amb petits detalls sabó, oli, sal, te, cafè que s'agraeix en quan estàs de ruta
Res
The location and the owner are top.
Too much stairs to access the house, especially if you are travelling with too many luggage
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.
Great location, very friendly and helpful staff!
Nicky is extremely helpful with everything.
Great place , very cozy and perfect location close to shops and restaurants.
No Brealfast ,location perfect
Everything was great but there were a lot of steps but the host & son helped us with our luggage.
Super friendly host and very accommodating
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.
Clean swimming pool and cozy apartment.
Comfortable and clean accommodation
Aircon in 2nd bedroom would be ideal
Lovely host
Must pay extra from room clean
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
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.
Nicky and Daniel are lovely hosts. We liked how clean the appartment was!
Washing machine, very helpful host, good location
No dishwasher
Wonderful host -- very helpful and helped keep the place very clean! Excellent location. Fast Wifi! Well-equippned kitchen. secure parking spot.

Nothing
This place is absolutely beautiful. A wonderful and peaceful environment. We will definitely be back again. And a huge thank you to Daniel and Nikki for the amazing hospitality.
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
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.
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!
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.
