The place was amazing and really peaceful, we enjoyed our stay, our bad encounter was actually with the manager on site not the host. This was due to a misunderstanding. Our stay was really great, restaurants were a walking distance and so we're the shops.

Beautiful beaches and town. Boat trip on the Estuary was lovely. Best part was the drive to Cape vidal. Saw plenty of wildlife on the way including elephant, rhino, Buffalo, different types of buck and warthog.

St Lucia is clean.
St Lucia is clean. I was walking at night alone and felt safe. Enjoyed the cruise with Fannas to see the hippos.
Enough restaurants to eat out.
No beggars on street corners or street children.
The beaches are clean.

Expensive small tourist town in which the majority of black people are there to work but do not live there and do not own much of the local economy, except being service providers. The St Lucia Wetlands Park Authority and other entities have a lot of work to do, to ensure black investment in the tourism sector as owners rather than servants. The racial and ethnical picture in the restaurants is very deplorable and has not changed much since apartheid. This makes the town, not the best place to visit for holiday. I would not visit for a long time for leisure to spend my hard earned black cash is an economy that is refusing to change. The private sector operating here needs to enjoin government efforts for economic transformation and support the diversification of the tourist sector - not by fronting but real transformation.

ST as we call it here in Joburg is a beautiful place with plenty to see an do if you have the transport. Walking around town is not a problem because it's "short and sweet' yet full of attractions, shops and restaurants just as in any self-respectful beach destination. Full of places to rest in and dine. Beaches need transport but in our country if you have no wheels you stay home! Trust me it's well worth it! UNESCO parks, Big (4) cos' no Lions allowed ;-) 25degC ocean water and a lots of fun! Activities can be found with a short search so I'm not going to go that deep.
And, to answer Booking.com's robot:
"What would you avoid on your next visit?"

Come visit ST...and prove me wrong!

St Lucia must certainly be one of the best small towns in South Africa. The character and charm is unbeatable. The locals are welcoming, helpful and just fantastic people. The choice of restaurants, curios shops, art and craft shops, the village market, wildlife in the town is amazing and simply wonderful!
Charming lodge in a perfect location in St Lucia. Comfortable self catering rooms with all the amenities provided for a wonderful stay. The place lives up to its name, the sunsets are incredibly spectacular. The hosts Richard and Shelley were attentive and even helped us with tour bookings. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants on the main street. Zac the friendly dog and some resident cats made our stay memorable. The pool is inviting and gardens are well kept.
A must stay place when you in St Lucia.

This is by far the most beautiful self catering lodge in St Lucia. This lodge and everything inside of it is brand new and the decor is exquisite. Perfect location. Beautiful pool and braai area and a tranquil view of the Forrest from the terrace. Don't think there is another self catering lodge that offers the same. I can highly recommend this lodge as it met all my expectations. Thank you for the warm welcome and great hospitality. I will most definitely visit again!
There was no breakfast. It is a self catering cottage. The apartment catered to all our needs.
When we entered the apartment, the aircon and lights were switched on which is amazing as we arrived at night and after a long journey, the cool, welcoming, well arranged apartment felt like a home away from home!
It was quiet and nobody bothered us. We would love to stay again but for longer next time!
Adrian went out of his way to help us with a great itinerary for our stay in St Lucia and was extremely helpful, even lending us equipment to enjoy a day on the beach. The room was very comfortable and nicely furnished, and breakfast was excellent. The surrounding area is very interesting and incredibly beautiful.
Omg I loved this place, this was our third trip to St Lucia and I am so glad we picked this place. The receptionist had alerted us to keep an eye out for hippos as they can sometimes be seen from balcony as they move on to the street, and l did. It was amazing. I LOVED it here
The welcoming staff with a friendly smile and our room was very clean and for organizing the room for my boyfriend birthday .And in future if my friends are visiting St Lucia Lodge i will recommend you guys.Thank you very much for your hospitality and God bless you guys. 🙏🫂
Got a very good deal for 4 days stay at the property. I had stayed in the other places in St. Lucia in the previous visits. The place is definitely worth its value, especially travel as a group. The rooms are clean and spacious, the kitench has everything you need.
Did not try the breakfast since I booked self catering. We will book breakfast the next time as most of the restaurants only open from 09h00, with the exception of Wimpy. After 09h00, there are plenty of options and the kitchen is well equipped.
The people who run the Guest House are super friendly and help you with everything, from reservations for excursions to helpful tips for your stay. The breakfast is delightful! We would definitely recommend a stay here when visiting St. Lucia.
Quiet beautiful scenery, located close to the beach, beautiful town scenery,, happy cheerful staff always ready to assist,, comfy bedding, self catering facilities,, super fast wifi,, will definitely go there more often
Our stay at Parkers began with the super enthousiastic and friendly welcome by our host. She was during our stay very helpful. Cleanest room of South Africa. Great breakfast. Good atmosphere.
A great place with a warm friendly feel.Having been in St. Lucia many years ago, the memories from here will last a life time and will definitely be a draw back for another trip to the area.
The unit was clean and comfortable. So conveniently situated for the center of St Lucia. Veli checked on us. She is so friendly. The security was excellent and very helpful.
We really loved that guesthouse, we felt like home with a very lovely owners. The place is beautiful and the breakfast was the best we had in South Africa !
