"We cut our stay short, leaving after three out of four nights. To start with the positive: the breakfast was plentiful and the owner was very friendly.
However, the room was very small and the bathroom was completely unacceptable. The plastic shower door was broken (we could only shower with it open), the mirror was blind, hung way too high, and poorly extended with a glued-on piece underneath. The toilet bowl shook badly and tilted to the side when used. There was also a strange odor inside the...

"We stayed 6 nights in a deluxe room. The room was comfortable but not quite what I expected for deluxe. It was comfortable and clean.
The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were the best we had on this trip to KZN. The outside area is very pretty and we enjoyed having our breakfasts outside."

"Very nice guest house, everything is done to make sure that we are comfortable. The owners are very nice people and can give a lot of advices ans help you with a cooler, booking etc...
Nice location also, you can walk to the beach, restuarants, etc...
The breakfast is really great.
We really enjoyed our stay there and will definitely come back.
One more thing we can see some monkeys from our house :)"

Lovely self catering apartment with a modern feel to it. Nice pool and gardens. Short 15 minute walk to the main street and a 30 minute walk to the beach.
Staff very friendly and attentive.

Igwalagwala is a great little guest house. The staff are friendly, helpful and willing to book excursions etc.
The main lounge/dining area is incredibly calm and peaceful and the whole place is a great, quiet location in which to relax.
The bedroom is a good size, we had a room with a tasteful modern four-poster bed and a couple of arm chairs looking out through patio doors that overlooked the pool area. The profile picture showing the exterior of the guest house does not really do this place...

Lovely property and all the staff were very kind and helpful. Our tent was really nice, most comfortable beds we had on holiday. Nice area with wardrobe, fridge and sink. Bathroom was nice, shower had decent pressure. Cleaned with fresh towels every day. Because it’s tents you will hear the neighbours but they strongly encourage quiet hours, room had a fan and ear plugs.
Would stay here again.

We stayed in a Cabana which was perfect for our little family of 4. We could eat in if we wanted and leave early for Safari without feeling like we'd wake anyone. Booked a lovely breakfast up on their decked balcony with amazing views over the trees looking out onto the river mouth. Great care is being taken to keep the eco-system working so whilst it was a pity that there were loads of trucks up at the beach you can appreciate what they are trying to do. Would definitely return to stay given...

Good location and very clean. Kitchen very well equipped. Main bathroom shower a bit dodgey. Good value for money and outdoor area would be nice in the summer.

Excellent place to stay in St Lucia. Staff very friendly and could not do enough to help. Debbie helped so much with helping us arrange trips and came to our aid when a taxi to Durban was required at relatively short notice. Very clean and pleasant place to stay with great facilities.

Wonderful experience here, being taken to see the animals in rehabilitation and stroking the cheetah. Extremely professional guide, giving much information on the animals. The bedroom was small but beautifully clean and maintained. You could see zebras and antelope wandering around from the windows, and listen to the birds.
The main part of the lodge, eating and lounge areas were great. Very relaxing, the food was excellent and the staff extremely attentive. Well done to the manageress who...
