All trips can be booked via the hosts and they will give you advice on everything from where to eat, what to do, what beach to visit and where to see the hippos. The units are kept tidy, clean and they are beautiful. There’s a beautiful forest-green backyard to walk around and ocean-blue pool to cool down in.

Excellent breakfast. Superb location. The owners went out of their way to serve us in any way possible - also with information about the area and things to do. We felt that our hearts connected.

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. 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!
We had a fantastic time staying at AmaZulu. Not only is it conveniently located, with clean, comfortable rooms, a lovely pool and delicious breakfast, but are staff were exceptional. We felt welcomed and taken care of the entire time. They generously helped us book a fairly last minute river cruise, and provided helpful recommendations for other activities, and restaurants to visit in the area. We will definitely be staying with AmaZulu the next time we visit St. Lucia.
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!
Beautiful rooms! Each room is stunning and we loved ours which overlooked the pool with an ocean view. The host and staff are so helpful, warm and friendly. Madeleine went out of her way to highlight activities and places to go in St Lucia, with plenty of tips and guidance! Luxury lodging with nature all around you. Perfect for our 2 year anniversary ♥ We will be back!
It is nice, clean, has enough room for two families. We loved the fact that everything you need is there. It is self catering and has a daily housekeeper and gardener. The location is very close to town within walking distance to town. We all felt very safe at this property. It is in a very quiet neighborhood with no distractions or disturbances.
Marlize & Johan really thought of everything & we had a very comfortable & enjoyable 4 night stay in St Lucia at Turaco. From the delicious breakfast to the very comfy bed, everything was thought of at a very high standard. You don't need to worry about load shedding as this is not an issue at Turaco. We would not hesitate to return.
Everything was perfect. Colin and Natalie were perfect hosts and so welcoming and helpful. All the staff were friendly and super helpful and kind. Breakfast was the best ever! Simply delicious and plentiful. The location was perfectly for exploring St Lucia and very peaceful with beautiful gardens and pool.
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.
Breakfast was fresh with excellent cappuccino and options. Most importantly the hosts at this location are amazing and personable. The room and place are BEAUTIFUL and clean. Nice Pool. Staying here really made our stay in St. Lucia wonderful.
Lovely place in St. Lucia with tropical garden and swimming pool. Very helpful to organize Safaris in the area. Very welcoming when we arrive. Very good breakfast. Clean room and bathroom . Free Parking in front of the building.
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
A beautiful hotel that felt like a rainforest oasis. The owners were super helpful and friendly and the breakfasts tasty. It was just a block from the main road but totally quiet, tranquil and restful.
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 !
