Pleasant stay and great staff

Very helpful and pleasant staff. Word of advice- if you are in SA in summer, beware of power cuts(this id country wide), as during those times there are no air-conditioners, only fans (Ndiza has a generator). When it is 40 degrees that makes a difference.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt. Die Lodge liegt ruhig und sicher am Ende der Straße und hat einen wunderbaren Blick auf die Lagune und das Meer. Sehr sauber und das Personal und der Gastgeber super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und sehr lecker. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Breakfast was good even though it seemed the staff had no interest in being there!!! The staff service was disappointing, especially the receptionist!! We were having a drink at the bar at 10.45pm and was told the lodge closes down at 10pm. We had had a 10hr drive and arrived at 6.45pm so once we found somewhere to eat we just wanted to relax with a drink after a long day. If we had known this we would not have stayed. We have traveled around Africa and have stayed in some wonderful places with wonderful staff service at a fraction of the price.

Nice place

In quiet part of town, well kept property, nice garden. Excellent breakfast, good range incl fresh fruit, eggs cooked fresh. Beach and ocean can be seen from top deck where breakfast served, really nice location to start the day. Insect repellant required in the evening tho. Overall a good town to stop, we stayed 3 nights.

Bel hébergement à proximité du centre de St Lucia. La piscine est petite et n'était pas utilisable pendant notre séjour mais la propriétaire nous a permis l'accès à celle du voisin qui était très bien !

Der Service ist top und es wird sich um jeden Wunsch gekümmert. In einer Geschwindigkeit, die unglaublich ist - z.B. zwei Koffer voller Wäsche in 8 Stunden gewaschen zurück. Der Blick von der Terasse ist traumhaft.

The wifi was none existent during our stay. They said to sit by reception if the signal was weak in the room. The signal wasn't weak. Our cells couldn't even see the router. I understand there are problems in Africa with such things. Funny, restaurants a short distance away had wifi every time we ate there.

Fresh, clean, well serviced. Superb view. Close to everything. Would recommend it more for adults than families (due to lack of a grassy area/playground and small pool).

Fantastic lodge with lovely staff

The location of the lodge is stunning, with fantastic views from the terrace out to the sea. St Lucia is a lovely place to stay while exploring the local area. Staff were extremely kind of helpful, even upgrading a friend's room for free so she could stay in the lodge next to some of the other members of our party. Highly recommended.
