"We had a fantastic time in St. Lucia. A beautiful accommodation, a great hostess who was always ready to help, and amazing cleaners. The beds were a bit on the firm side, but that was taken care of during our stay. Highly recommended for a family stay! We hope to return here someday."

"I have requested a quiet corner room while making the booking and upon checking in on arrival i was told to pay an extra R200 for the quiet room which i did pay to my surprise the following day I was asked again to pay an extra R200 ... which i did pay as i did not want to move to an other room...I really feel so disgusted about how people can be so so greedy when it comes to money that we will leave behind when dead...the place was even too noisy with the occupants upstairs."

"It started fine but on the third night as we were putting our kids to bed we found some sort of rodent droppings all over the kids beds and pillows. It must have all fallen from the overhead vents. We immediately packed and left. It ruined our trip to St Lucia. "

"Great house with superb staff. The house has a nice garden, a pool (not heated) and a fire pit plus braai. It has a covered patio, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a double garage. The house is very secure. Everything is in perfect shape, well maintained and cleaned daily. Close to town and just across the street is a small park where the hippo’s graze at night! St Lucia is a charming
small town with nice restaurants and plenty of activities. Go for a self drive in the iSimangaloso wetland park, a...

"We stayed at Annemarie's place for a few days and really enjoyed it. It's a great location, central and still quiet, sheltered away with a fantastic barbecue and small flower garden outside. The large bedroom was like all other rooms well decorated and spacious, the kitchen well equipped. Our host was very friendly and helpful in all matters. We can only recommend a stay at Annemarie's place."

"When I arrived at the hotel with the confirmation, the owner told me that he had received no reservation from Hotels.Com and had no room for my party. I had to borrow money to stay at a more expensive hotel. "

"the apartment was generally comfortable. Was very disappointed that there was no Wifi in the apartment- and that the info booklet said that you could get wifi at reception- but when we requested we were told to pay R 100!!
There was no mop in the apartment- made it a bit difficult to clear up spills.
checkout is also rather early- i.e before 10...and the info booklet said by 9.00 am"

Thanda Safari
10/10 Excellent
"Outstanding experience, truly a highlight of our trip! The accommodation was amazing felt like luxury but you were still in nature. The tent was very clean and the staff turned over our room daily for day and evening (example tent flaps up during the day for more light and closed at night). Staff were friendly, meals were good, and the evening camp fire was a great way to meet other travelers.
The stand out was the amazing game drives, our driver and guide Taisa and tracker Derek were great and went out of their way to get us the best viewings and ensure animals we wanted to see were a priority. We had the same guide team the entire stay which meant they got to know us and tailor our game drives to what we had already seen.
This surpassed my expectations and I highly recommend. "
"The lodge is lovely with very attentive staff. The cat sanctuary is a must visit and trips to Hluhluwe was easy to organise. It is an easy drive to St Lucia and to Bayete to see the elephant education demonstration which is a must-do.
Be aware that there is very little around there so likely you will need to eat dinner at the lodge. The foods is quite plain with not much choice. Also be aware that the rooms have no TVs.
I would recommend the Lodge for its position and the attentive staff."
"My wife and I recently spent a night at Leopard Tree Lodge in St Lucia, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the warm welcome to the peaceful atmosphere, everything exceeded our expectations.
What We Loved:
✅ Beautiful Setting – The lodge is nestled in a serene, natural environment, with lush greenery and a relaxing vibe. Perfect for couples!
✅ Comfortable & Clean Room – Our accommodation was spacious, tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep.
✅ Friendly Staff – The team was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home.
✅ Great Location – Close enough to St Lucia’s attractions (like the estuary and restaurants) while still feeling secluded.
Highlights:
The tranquil ambiance—perfect for unwinding.
The lodge’s charming design, blending nature with comfort.
We only wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend Leopard Tree Lodge for anyone visiting St Lucia—whether for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat. We’ll definitely be back!"
"So i went to Bhangazi for work purposes, and i found the place stunning and i love the old style setup.it is a very nice quiet place the owners have a great customer care orientation and serve their clients with honor irregardless of their skin color.they serve a top notch breakfast way better than some hotels. I will recommend it to anyone at anytime and it's on my list for family vacation "
