    I've been in few countries around the world: from East to West Africa, Europe and U.S and South America - and I've never seen a host with this much hospitality. Colin made our stay one to remember. From giving us tips about St Lucia, to making...

    This was the most amazing stay we had on the 28 days we were in South Africa. Colin is a fantastically hospitable host. Nothing was too much for him. Moreover, it is very nice that we could talk to him in Dutch and he in Afrikaans. The kids...

    We had a wonderful relaxing weekend. Enjoyed the pool and the safari to Hluhluwe (pick-up from the guesthouse). Host Colin and his wife were warm and very hospitable. Breakfast was amazing. Even when we needed to leave at 5.00 AM for the safari,...

When you enter our house it immediately becomes your home for the full duration of your stay. The house itself was built out of a labour of love by the previous owner. All the wood and parquet flooring came from his farm. Since 1996 we have maintained his passion and have passed it on to all the improvements we have made over the years. The garden is second to no other garden in the region and reflects this love. We have Solar which not only helps during load shedding but also reflects our commitment to saving the world for future generations. We will welcome you with a complementary drink and brief you on the area, restaurants and possible tours you can book.
I have had the pleasure of going to school in Canada and Switzerland. I have worked in hotels, lodges and I was an overland guide for 8 years which has given me a lot of knowledge about South Africa and the African continent as a whole. Ich kann ein bisschen Dinglish sprechen, und bin in der Lage , mit Ihnen zu kommunizieren, wenn wir beide langsam zu sprechen. Mon franglais est très bonne qui aide quand on parle aux invités français qui veulent prendre une pause de parler en anglais. Met 'n langsaam gepraat Afrikaans is ek in staat om 'n prettige gesprek met die Nederlandse en Vlaamse te he. I look forward to hosting you. Natalie is often found in the kitchen or running around between the shops and the office. She is responsible for all the back of house duties that make St Lucia Wetlands Guesthouse such a success. Sara, Bonnie and Tombi are the real machines of the business making sure the rooms and the common areas are taken care of. Clement, has a smile which never fades and is responsible for cleaning your cars and making sure our garden is beyond compare.
St Lucia Wetlands Guesthouse is set in the quiet and tranquil residential area of this beautifully little town. Guests are able to freely walk around during the day exploring the roads between some really beautiful houses. At night you can walk to the restaurants no more than 15 minutes away but take note that hippos may be grazing on the pavements when you return. We would prefer you to drive the distance that way you can go look for the Hippo Locals know as Townies.
