Accommodation in St Lucia, South Africa can be difficult to find if you don’t know where to look. The choice between self-catering, bed and breakfast, guest house or hotel can be somewhat unnerving due to the differences in facilities and prices. I reside in St Lucia, South Africa, and currently know of a few of the best guest houses, lodges, and cottages, which provide bed and breakfast services to the public who may be looking for holiday accommodation.
When starting your search for accommodation in St Lucia, South Africa, your initial Google results will undoubtedly have accommodation listing websites, such as Where to Stay or SA Venues or Safari Now. Although these websites offer a relatively user-friendly way to browse for a place to stay, they do also require a commission from the guest house, cottage, or bed and breakfast for this service. Because nobody likes to be done out of 10 or 15 percent of their income, most accommodation or booking / reservation managers append the commission onto the top of the usual rate, making it more for you, the client, to pay.
While accommodation listing sites are nice and easy to browse for a place to stay, it is my personal recommendation that you find a place you like and then Google for the individual guest house or bed and breakfast’s web address. All personal accommodation websites have a booking enquiry form which will allow you to contact them directly, thus saving you time and money.
As with any article, I researched my topic “Finding Accommodation in St Lucia, South Africa” before I set out to write this post. I came across a variety of different options that I will present to you, my readers, as choices if you ever decide to holiday or vacation in St Lucia, RSA.
The first choice I’m going to set out for your perusal is Parkers Cottages (www.parkerscottages.com). The two cottages are tastefully furnished in a true African style (Nguni Room) and an ocean theme (Fisherman’s Cottage). Fisherman’s Cottage has a separate, yet adjoined, room which can be used for children or for other members of your group. Nguni Room is spacious with a warm orange, yellow, and black theme native to an African sunset.
