Lake St Lucia Lodge

We travelled around South Africa for three weeks and Lake St. Lucia Lodge was our favorite accommodation. This was primarily thanks to Andre, a remarkable person who told us so much about the country, his garden, hippos etc. He also helped us by booking a river boat safari and gave us numerous recommendations, such as for a trip to Cape Vidal, which we did not originally plan, and good local restaurants. He even went with us for an evening hippo spotting and showed us where hippos cross his garden. It was obvious he truly lives for and with St. Lucia and the hippos. The cottage was exceptional. It was cleaned daily, drinking water was provided, beds were comfortable, wifi was fast, and the kitchen was exceptionally well equipped. Only here were we able to make meals in a teflon pan that was not scratched. Andre, thank you for everything, you called us special, but the one who is truly special is you! Hugs!

??? Nothing!!

We loved staying here. Beautiful garden. Always clean and neat. And the host was very friendly and very helpful. He gives you so many tips for where to go and all that. And absolutely love the guard dog his beautiful cat. Highly recommend this place you will not be disappointed

Andre was a wonderful host, who waited for us well into the evening and made time to go through all the details and suggestions. He also came early in the morning to show us where the hippos grazed in the night (and we saw them just next to the rooms late in the evening!). The rooms were comfortable and spacious, and had all the essentials, including plenty of drinking water. A clean and quiet stay in a central location, but slightly on the edge of the hustle and bustle of town, so you get a good night's sleep! Would definitely stay again next time we're in St Lucia. Thank you for the hospitality!

Everything was lovely! Just remember that you need cash on arrival for payment.

A very quiet self catering chalet with a well equipped kitchen. Located at the end of St Lucia, and an easy 10 min walk to caffes and restaurants for meals or the supermarket or shops. A couple of hippos walk through the garden late some night. Banded mongees on the lawns opposite early morning in this vicinity plus a town warthog who roams the high street. Very comfortable bed, air conditioning and a ceiling fan. Wi-Fi included. There are two very well equipped tech shops in the high street in case you need something. No TV in the room, but sports bars down town. If you need anything booked like bird walks, game drives, night drives, the owner will book this for you with the local best agency. Book as soon as you arrive so as not to miss out. Lovely big garden for listening to birds but there is re-construction of chalets going on next door property at the moment, and there is a heavy vehicle business on the other side, who start before sun-up. There only a very few chalets on this premises.

A bit sandy around the chalet entrances
