Very friendly Manager and staff. Slightly dated accommodation, made up by the views of the estuary and lovely breakfast. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a weekend getaway in a natural, leafy environment, but still within walking distance of the local eateries.

Great colonial style villa!!!
The decor of the place is amazing. As if you are in a colonial villa!!! The attention to the decorative detail in the house and the rooms is impeccable. Everything else just follows this level of experience. Would surely recommend to both families and romancing couples.

Beautiful and clean lodge
The room is beautiful and very clean, it looks new. The outside area is very nice and the location is quiet. The only thing that can be a problem for a guest is that the room was very light inside at night. The outside lights shining inside the room can be a problem. It might be a good idea if the room had blackout curtains for the guests that prefer a darker room at night.

A small, comfortable gem
Set in a lovely garden overlooking the St Lucia estuary, this delightful B&B is actually an old family home that has had a number of accommodation modules added of which there are 2 types; self-contained family units and smaller rooms suitable for couples. Each unit is pleasingly decorated with an African theme and has an en suite bathroom (bath and shower). In addition there is a very comfortable bed fitted with full mosquito netting, efficient split unit air conditioning and a private patio equipped with sofa, cushions and comfortable chairs where you can sit and enjoy the lovely sub-tropical garden without being overlooked by other guests. Breakfast, which is taken in the old house with a full view of the garden, is excellent and includes decent coffee, fresh fruit and full cooked English-style if desired. Situated at the end of a small road that runs down the spine of the St Lucia peninsula, the location is quiet yet within easy walking distance of the main street where there are a variety of good restaurants, cafes and other facilities. Security is good though care is needed at night when hippos commonly leave the quiet waters of the lagoon and come into town to graze. We were told that hippos have been known to come into the garden from the estuary to drink from the pool! Grey monkeys are common in the area and visit daily to explore and entertain. Overall Kingfisher Lodge provided a very pleasant and relaxing we happily recommend this excellent establishment.

Nice Guest House
Had a good experience, good location as it is at the end of the main road and thus more tranquil.

This is a small B&B with hippo and crocodile viewing available nearby. We had our own "outdoor" room with couch, table, and chairs. Maureen, the manager, was very helpful with suggestions for dinner and nearby attractions. She also warned us about the danger of hippos wandering the grounds and the streets of St. Lucia after dark. There are many miles of lightly populated beaches (at least in winter with highs in the 70s and 80s F). The estuary tour with mostly hippo and some croc viewing is not to be missed. The Croc Centre completes the croc viewing experience. We were allowed to handle a 2-yr-old croc.

Guesthouse in St Lucia
A very attractive guest house at the end of a quiet cul de sac in the village of St Lucia....beautiful interiors to the communal areas - lounge, breakfast room and garden. The lawned garden leads down to the estuary and is a real feature - lovely views and comfortable outside seating area with pool. We saw deer and monkeys in the garden. Our room had a fabulous, huge, comfortable bed. Fridge and coffee/tea making facilities. The bathroom was functionable but outdated. There was a large terrace at the front of the accommodation with sofa and table and chairs - we were looking forward to making use of this, however, it was unusually hot and humid whilst we were there and, with no fan on the terrace, it was too uncomfortable to sit out there. St Lucia has a range of eateries and shops. We had hoped to be able to walk out in the evening , however, at the time of our stay, a hippo had taken to coming out of the estuary and making its' way up the guest house lawn and crossing near the car park/entrance area and onwards. The guest house being in a dark section of the street, we decided not to take the risk of walking. Slightly exciting and slightly scary returning from an evening meal to the car park, wondering whether you might run into a hippo !! Certainly different !

Great hotel
The guest house is great, food was very good, a little far from 'downtown'
