"We cut our stay short, leaving after three out of four nights. To start with the positive: the breakfast was plentiful and the owner was very friendly.
However, the room was very small and the bathroom was completely unacceptable. The plastic shower door was broken (we could only shower with it open), the mirror was blind, hung way too high, and poorly extended with a glued-on piece underneath. The toilet bowl shook badly and tilted to the side when used. There was also a strange odor inside the...

"We stayed 6 nights in a deluxe room. The room was comfortable but not quite what I expected for deluxe. It was comfortable and clean.
The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were the best we had on this trip to KZN. The outside area is very pretty and we enjoyed having our breakfasts outside."

Lovely self catering apartment with a modern feel to it. Nice pool and gardens. Short 15 minute walk to the main street and a 30 minute walk to the beach.
Staff very friendly and attentive.

Igwalagwala is a great little guest house. The staff are friendly, helpful and willing to book excursions etc.
The main lounge/dining area is incredibly calm and peaceful and the whole place is a great, quiet location in which to relax.
The bedroom is a good size, we had a room with a tasteful modern four-poster bed and a couple of arm chairs looking out through patio doors that overlooked the pool area. The profile picture showing the exterior of the guest house does not really do this place...

Lovely guest house just off the Main Street. Bianca was a delightful host and made us feel very welcome. We had the garden room which is very spacious and had a lovely private terraced area outside. Breakfast was excellent and there was lots of water and soft drinks that were complimentary. The honesty bar was well stocked and very reasonably priced. We will definitely stay there again

Lovely property and all the staff were very kind and helpful. Our tent was really nice, most comfortable beds we had on holiday. Nice area with wardrobe, fridge and sink. Bathroom was nice, shower had decent pressure. Cleaned with fresh towels every day. Because it’s tents you will hear the neighbours but they strongly encourage quiet hours, room had a fan and ear plugs.
Would stay here again.

We stayed in a Cabana which was perfect for our little family of 4. We could eat in if we wanted and leave early for Safari without feeling like we'd wake anyone. Booked a lovely breakfast up on their decked balcony with amazing views over the trees looking out onto the river mouth. Great care is being taken to keep the eco-system working so whilst it was a pity that there were loads of trucks up at the beach you can appreciate what they are trying to do. Would definitely return to stay given...

Ingwenya Lodge is situated at the edge of St.Lucia village (nearest the jungle on the seaward side)
The facilities were great with everything you need to just get on with it yourself.
Maids cleaned the flats every day with regular bedding and towel changes.
The proprietor was very helpful with information on all activities in the area
Wake up in the morning to the many exotic bird calls and monkeys trotting around.
We pre-booked for two days here but finished up staying 9 days then heading...

You'll often hear the term "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe, while “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S. but overall the terms are quite similar.
