The service by all staff was exceptional; you felt welcome & the place was kept in good condition. I really enjoyed all my interactions & was sad i couldn’t have breakfast there every morning (because of our scheduled activities) - but they went above & beyond to pack us something which came in VERY handy!

Located in St. Lucia within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Marlin Lodge St Lucia boasts an outdoor swimming pool, terrace area and barbecue facilities. It features an entertainment area, where guest can relax and watch satellite TV.

Spent 4 nights in this comfortable and well priced B&B. Rooms are large and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful and the Breakfast was excellent. There is a nice small pool available. A Solar electricity system was installed during our stay which seamlessly trips in at times of the all too frequent “Load Shedding”- this is a major improvement and much better than relying on a noisy generator. If you like nature there is loads to do in the St Lucia area.

    The place was phenomenal and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. The staff were truly amazing and friendly. A special mention of Nosipho, she is super friendly and helpful. We celebrated our first wedding anniversary and the staff really went all out to decorate the room for us. We wouldn’t mind going back to Monzi Safari Lodge!!!!

    Super cute lodge, you feel home as soon as you enter, pool surrounded by trees...Feels like holidays as soon as you arrive. Nosipho, who is part of the staff, was very kind and helped us straight away in booking the safaris' experiences for Hluhluhwe-Imfolosi and Isimangaliso parks. Even before we arrived, she advised us on the best road to take (and not to take) and shared the load sheeding schedule. Very few lodges hence it's quiet, and nice to walk around.

    Thanks Andrè for this stay. Andrè is a great host, very enthusiastic, responsive, flexible and communicative. The apartement is wonderful and Andrè organizes all for our activities (safari / boat tour on the estuary etc...). We only statys 2 nights but Santa Lucia is clearly a place where would have like to stay more to enjoy the beautiful outside installations of the lodge and to make an additional escape to Cape Vidal. Clearly a place to be ! Thanks again.

    We stayed here for 4 days and it was a great choice: the house is very pretty, our room wasn't big but had everything we needed and very nicely furnished. The lodge is located on a quiet picturesque street. The breakfasts are very tasty! Huge thanks to Jaden for the constant help! She helped us to arrange the safari tour and it was one of the best memories of our trip! I wish Jaden and the Sandpiper all the best!
