Wir kommen wieder

Welch ein wunderschöner Ort! Das Gästehaus ist liebevoll gepflegt. Die Gastfreundschaft war unglaublich! Das Frühstück einfach super. Der Strand ist fussläufig zu erreichen. In die Stadt sind wir abends (wegen hippo’s auf den Straßen) lieber mit dem Auto gefahren. Für uns ein idealer Zwischenstopp vom Kruger Park in den Süden. Wenn ihr ein Zimmer in St. Lucia sucht, kann ich dies hier nur empfehlen!

Le soir , on peut voir des hipo balader dans les rues alentour. Bref un séjour parfait. N'hésitez pas à y aller. Vous serez reçus comme des rois.

Must stay in St. Lucia

What an incredible experience! From the beautifully manicured backyard, to the comfortable room, the delicious breakfast and the friendly staff - you can’t ask for a better place to stay in the quaint town of St. Lucia. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we had another day to explore the area.

Maputaland Guest House for 8 days late April

Great stay at Maputaland Guest House. The owners are super friendly, providing good service and local advice. Rooms are comfortable, with a kettle, fridge and AC. No TV though. Breakfasts are great and generous. Never hungry for the day! Peaceful garden with a Pool and if a hippo walks by in the evening one can watch it over the wall from the garden. I'd recommend it

The most credit goes to the family who runs this hotel. From the very beginning of our stay we felt genuine hospitality. In this kind of places you don't even notice if there is something minor to complain about as it feels like home. We felt very natural staying there. Highly recommended!

A friendly and supporting stay in St Lucia

Had 2 nights at Maputaland and we found the stay fantastic. It felt friendly and like at home from the very beginning. We got a very good introduction at arrival with all information we needed about the guest house and about St Lucia. The whole atmosphere was friendly and all guests enjoyed the time. Owner helped us to book tours and gave us ideas on how to do. Breakfast was really good and we enjoyed the pool. We are already planning to come back again and are strongly recommending this guest house.
