St Lucia Safari Lodge  

On South Africa’s northeast coast in the scenic town of St. Lucia, this bed & breakfast with self-catering chalets sits close to the town center. It’s a short walk to The Gallery–St Lucia and Themba’s Birding & Eco-tours, and minutes from St. Lucia Estuary Beach and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park.

The lodge has 27 rooms — 15 self-catering chalets (4–6 sleepers) and 12 bed & breakfast chalets — with air conditioning and warm, simple décor. Rooms include refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, safes and electric kettles; some offer separate sitting areas. Daily housekeeping keeps things tidy and the property features an African-styled thatched breakfast area.

Soak in the outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar, or chill on the terrace and in the garden. Barbecue grills, tour/ticket assistance for local adventures, and complimentary Wi‑Fi are on site. Free self-parking is available — perfect after a day of estuary walks or boat trips.

The property offers a business center, conference hall and event facilities for meetings or board sessions. Additional practical extras include laundry services and a safe deposit box at reception.

There’s an on-site restaurant and a relaxed poolside bar for drinks. English breakfasts are served daily in the thatched breakfast facility — complimentary for B&B guests and available to self-catering guests for a fee (R95).
