One of the best hosts ever! Thanks a lot
for your assistance and kindness!
Delicious breakfast with fresh fruits, yoghurt, cereals, eggs, ... Perfect stay and best value for money.
Very stylish accommodation. Comfortable bed, lovely rainshower, clean, spacious room, delicious breakfastbuffet. And last but not least: friendly staff and hosts that are willing to go the extra mile. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!
Very helpful, friendly and considerate hosts with good local knowledge. Booking of tours possible through reception. Nice location in quiet, green side street.
Excellent large rooms with modern furnishings and lovely decor. Plenty of beautiful linen and towels. The host is very friendly and warm. There is a nice sized pool and hearty breakfast as well. Highly recommend the Igwalagwala for your next family vacation at Saint Lucia!!
From setting foot in iGwalagwala Guest House our hosts made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough to help. Our family room was spotlessly clean and really nicely laid out. Lovely to open the doors on the pool garden area. The children thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.
Great Location in St Lucia couldn't have asked for more.
The guest house is clean, well decorated, the hospitality is excellent, the breakfast is very good, the location is central. there is attention to the details and the host always make sure you fell at home, I really recommend it!
One of our best guesthouses on all our trips to ZA so far. The hosts are a super nice family and read all your wishes. Every room has a different interior design and look super cosy. Pool area and rooms are very clean. We will definitely come back when we will be in ZA again and also recommend to our friends. Thumbs up!!!
We felt very comfortable. The rooms were large and very, very clean. Everything worked and there were no defects. The family atmosphere also contributed to our well-being. We have not stayed better in South Africa or Germany. Many thanks to our hosts.
Very modern and clean guesthouse. We were received very friendly and the owner was very keen to give us tips about the activities and about St.Lucia itself. The breakfast buffet had a large selection and the hot dishes were freshly prepared. We would go back anytime.
Come to spend 2 days in this magnificent place, we appreciated the very beautiful room overlooking the swimming pool, very tastefully decorated. A carafe with cooked wine and two small glasses for an evening aperitif , really a delicate touch. The place is very well secured, with indoor parking. We are 5 minutes from restaurants and shops and 5 minutes from the jetty for navigation among hippos and crocodiles. .. Nice room for varied breakfast, and service with a smile. Do not hesitate ! !!
Secluded, spotless, beautiful stay in St Lucia.
What a fantastic little spot in St Lucia. Close enough to the main road for a quick pop out, but still quiet and peaceful. The gardens, rooms, and facilities are well looked after and gorgeous! The place is impeccably kept and not a spot of dust was seen. We particularly loved that borehole water was used, making it an eco-friendly option.
Fantastic. Best value in St. Lucia
Our family, including 3 kids, had a warm and memorable stay. The kids shared a 4 bed family room, next to ours, which was very convenient. The rooms were very spacious, clean and newly renovated and had everything we needed. The guesthouse is run by a very warm and very helpful family located on a quiet street a very short walk from the town’s main drag.
Relaxing and amazing stay
Elné, Yvonne and Flip were the most gracious hosts, as for the breakfast - the best yet. It was the little extras that made so much of a difference from the homemade hash browns, delicious banana cake to the most fluffiest crumpets. Thank you Yvonne for the love and care you have shown in this amazing B and B. I loved the fact there was no TV in the room, as a family we actually got to talk.
Home away from home. We had a wonderful 2-night stay at this place and we thoroughly enjoyed the serene environment and friendly staff. The reception by the owners made us feel at home. The breakfast was tasty and fresh. The location is ideal, and is close to the best restaurants and shops in the small town.
