Disgusted
I have requested a quiet corner room while making the booking and upon checking in on arrival i was told to pay an extra R200 for the quiet room which i did pay to my surprise the following day I was asked again to pay an extra R200 ... which i did pay as i did not want to move to an other room...I really feel so disgusted about how people can be so so greedy when it comes to money that we will leave behind when dead...the place was even too noisy with the occupants upstairs.

Apartment was well equipped and spacious. Make sure that you do not get apartment 2 - Imvubu as this apartment is located right next to the generator. Loadshedding happened at 1 am on our first night there and sleep was impossible once the generator kicked in.

What a lovely place!
We were traveling from the northeast corner of South Africa to St Lucia and arrived fairly late in the evening. Check was not a problem. Bianca and the ladies in the office made us feel welcome and well cared for. The room was well managed, clean and comfy. A perfect home base for all of our excursions while staying in St Lucia. Which was made easy by Bianca, she made all the arrangements for us. The room was well equipped for self catering, all the kitchen and preparation accessories one could need were provided. The property is located well off the main strip, which allows for quiet evenings and personal parking. Everything was close enough to walk or bike to, if you choose.

Lovely location. Wonderful
Had a fantastic time in st Lucia. A quiet lovely town close to wildlife and natural environment. Hippos and crocs abound. We walked everywhere. A bit of a disadvantage not to have vehicle as tours are expensive. Great beach and estuary walks. Have to stay in after dark due to wandering hippos. Our self catering unit at Little Eden was perfect for us. Modest, friendly, everything we needed. Nice small pool with beautiful views toward the ocean. The best staff! Great fruit at the street market. Restful and peaceful.

Lovely stay in Little Eden
This was our first visit to St Lucia. We had a very warm welcome at Little Eden; our host was charming. The flat we stayed in was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and had magnificent views over the Isimangaliso Wetland park. On our first evening we saw two hippos wandering through the village which was the icing on the cake. Would definitely recommend this location and accommodation.

We had a terrible experience at Little Eden. I will though try to be objective. Positive Little Eden is well situated with a good ocean view and in a calm surrounding. The apartment is well equipped, though much of the stuff is not needed and just take place. Negative Little Eden is very poorly insulated for noise so you will hear all that the neighbours do and talk about, and when people swim in the pool it sounds like hippos in your apparment. We had big problems with cockroaches, that meant not only in the kitchen but that we had a big collection in our luggage when we left. At home it was operation cockroach hunting. Thank good that the flight home killed them. We also had two negative incidents that took away the pleasure to stay at the hotel. The first morning we could not leave the hotel since the remote to the fence did not work. We called the manager. No answer (I will come back to that later). The reception was of cause closed (it was all our stay). The sign on the reception said that we should contact the next hotel if something happed, but it was no one at that hotel either. After maybe 15-20 minutes we managed to find a lady that had a remote and she let us out. That morning was destroyed. We got a new remote on our table, but still not any contact with the manager or any other in the hotel. Next day, we found our apartment in a strange stage when coming back in the afternoon. Some cookies were gone, and the potato bag ripped opened. We really felt bad that someo

Logement spacieux, confortable, décoré avec goût; beau jardin; piscine agréable. Accueil chaleureux. Excellent petit-déjeuner. Sainte Lucie est le point de départ de nombreuses excursions: croisière sur l'estuaire(crocos, hippos et fish eagle), réserve de HLUHLUWE-IMFOLOZI , la plus ancienne d'Afrique du Sud, (de nombreux animaux dont les rhinos ), Isimangaliso Wetland Park et, notamment la plage de Cape Vidal, snorkelling et vagues de l'Océan Indien. Sans oublier les Vervet Monkeys et les hippos qui déambulent dans le village à la tombée de la nuit pour brouter l'herbe des espaces verts. On s'est vraiment bien amusés. Très belle destination.

Bel emplacement à St. Lucia
Beau jardin et piscine extérieure avec vue sur la côte. Espace privé pour manger à l'extérieur et espace de BBQ. Accueil sympa et on a reçu de bons conseils. Grande pièce et cuisinette complète. 3 points à améliorer : le désodorisant automatique -trop parfumé, le Wifi pas accessible de la chambre (doit aller à la réception) et les plats à mélanger étaient un peu collant. Par contre, le reste était très bien.

Wifi please!
Cet établissement a absolument tout pour plaire: très bien situé, parking parfaitement sécurisé, vaste et confortable, superbement équipé, etc. Tout serait vraiment parfait s'il y avait une connexion wifi dans la chambre. Cela peut être peu important lorsqu'il fait beau mais quand il pleut toute la journée c'est très désagréable, le point d'accès à l'internet se trouvant en face de la réception à l'extérieur.Dommage.

Petit complexe un peu loin de la mer ou de la lagune sur un beau site,mais avec des facilités intérieures un peu vieillottesur. Nécessiterait rajeunissement des facilités intérieures des unités. Personnel très serviable mais la petite enveloppe pour un pourboire à la femme de chambre et à l'administration la veille du depart était de trop. Odeur également nauséabonde dans l'unité.

Buona struttura, pessimo il wifi
Ho soggiornato un paio di notti in questa struttura. Posizione tranquilla con parcheggio gratuito. Si tratta di piccoli appartamenti dotati di cucina completa. Si può, pagando a parte, fare la colazione nel lodge accanto. La titolare è molto gentile e disponibile a prenotare escursioni in zona. Unica pecca il wifi, in camera non funzionava. L'unico modo per connettersi era andare nei pressi della reception. La reception è un piccolo studio con una scrivania e una sedia, quindi si doveva stare fuori in piedi per riuscire a collegarsi a internet. Andrebbe decisamente migliorato il wifi.

We hadden appartement Ndlovu. Van alle gemakken voorzien, 1 slaapkamer met 2persoonsbed, 1 met 3 1-persoonsbedden. Bianca was erg vriendelijk en gaf veel info over de omgeving. Enige dat niet goed voelde was dat ondanks dat we 6 nachten verbleven, een 1/2 jaar van tevoren al 50% hadden betaald, bij aankomst de receptionist er niet was en degene die ons binnen liet zei dat we de andere 50% later die week konden betalen, we de dag erna al op de gsm werden gebeld dat we moesten komen betalen. Dit voelt niet gastvrij. Geen enkele reden waarom ze zouden moeten twijfelen of we zouden betalen.
