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 !

St Lucia Surprise
Very African feel with mosquito-netted bed (but no mosquitos when we were there in May), and cool decoration. We had an uptdoor sitting room with couch and tables. Breakfast was great with good view of nice garden.

Beautiful garden and nice pool
Our room was ready earlier than expected so we dumped our luggage and spent the afternoon in the pool. The room was smaller than I thought but the lounge areas more than make up for that. Lots of couches and beautiful areas to sit. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff are so friendly.

Kingfisher Lodge, tranquility near the town centre
We had a very pleasant stay at the Kingfisher Lodge. Our room was clean, the staff were friendly and the location of the lodge was good, being close to town but retaining a remote feel. The only negatives were the over cluttered feel in the room, it would have been nice to have more space on tables and other surfaces, that were largely taken up with old magazines and ornaments. Breakfast was adequate, well cooked and served by pleasant staff, but rather simple and repetitive. We did find that it was possible to order items not mentioned on the printed menu card. A packed breakfast was supplied one one day, packed in a useful picnic hamper. Overall a pleasant stay, we would be happy to use the lodge again.

In the end of the road, quiet, beautiful
Arrived late and at once wished I could stay more time. I was warmly greeted and walked to my room. It was spacious, light with big bathroom. Next day I enjoyed breakfast on patio overlooking green area behind the house. There was a good choice of eggs as well as jams and cereals - you won't get out hungry. I definitely would recommend the stay.

Wonderful find - very friendly staff. We had a 5am safari pick-up so missed breakfast. The lodge is about a 10 minute walk into town for restaurants and shopping. Lots of signs to watch out for Hippos especially at night but sadly there were no hippos to be seen.
