Pragtige uitsig en omgewing.

Die lodge is geleë met pragtige uitsig en is gevestig tussen en omring deur natuurlike bosse. Vir natuurliefhebbers is die Igwala-staproete naby en die pragtige omgewing skep 'n rustige atmosfeer. Die eenheid is goed toegerus, netjies en daagliks skoongemaak. Ons sal weer daar gaan bly.

Beautiful view and surroundings.

The lodge is situated with beautiful views and is set amongst and surrounded by natural forests. For nature lovers, the Igwala hiking trail is nearby and the beautiful surroundings create a peaceful atmosphere. The unit is well equipped, neat and cleaned daily. We will stay there again.

Excellent service and beautiful area, secure and close to the main street.

Dit was baie lekker by die lodge, die eienaar is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, die lodge self is regtig in 'n baie goeie kondisie en waarde vir dit wat jy betaal. Die eienaar het ons akkomodeer met 'n ekstra dag, sonder enige probleme. Baie dankie.

Please make people aware that the two sleeper is very very small.

Please advise future clients that the two-sleeper is very very small. Not suitable for tall people. The accommodation is exceptionally small and very misleading in the photos. The owners were very accommodating and let us move to a two-bedroom for 3 of our 5 days booked. We then had to move back to the 2 sleeper. We left after 3 days as the two-sleeper was just not suitable for my husband and me.

Ingwenya Lodge 's response

Thank you for your review, Keleigh Coertzen. Our 2 sleeper is a small, romantic unit with an amazing view over the pool, forest, and ocean. It is ideal for the young at heart. Ingwenya Lodge is situated at the border of the St Lucia Village, about 1.5 km from the main street with all the restaurants. It is wonderful for those guests who are looking for peace and quiet surroundings.

Sal nêrens anders in St. Lucia bly nie, die beste omgewing vir voëls reg rondom.

Ons het St. Lucia besoek vir die groot aantal voëls van die omgewing. Het gedink ons sal moet rondry of na die woude moet gaan daarvoor. Maar net hier in die tuin by Ingwenya Lodge is soveel interessante voëlspesies ons was heel verstom. Die akkommodasie is gerieflik ingerig met alles wat nodig is vir selfsorg. Die vriendelike personeel het elke dag gesorg dat ons na 'n lang dag uit kan terugkom na netjiese, skoon huisvesting. Dankie, Madeleine, vir al die inligting met aankoms, dit is baie bedagsaam, maar vir ons wat nie die dorp ken nie was dit ook regtig nodig. Dankie vir 'n wonderlike week, die tyd het te vinnig verby gevlieg sou nog baie langer wou bly. Kan Ingwenya Lodge beslis aanbeveel en ons sal nêrens anders bly in St. Lucia nie.

Won't go anywhere else in St. Lucia does not stay, the best environment for birds around.

We have St. Lucia visit for the large number of birds in the area. Thought we'd have to drive around or go to the woods for that. But right here in the garden at Ingwenya Lodge there are so many interesting bird species we were quite amazed. The accommodation is comfortably furnished with everything needed for self-catering. The friendly staff made sure every day that we could come back to neat, clean accommodation after a long day out. Thank you, Madeleine, for all the information on arrival, it's very thoughtful, but for us who don't know the town, it was also really necessary. Thank you for a wonderful week, the time flew by too quickly, would have liked to stay much longer. Can definitely recommend Ingwenya Lodge and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in St. Lucia doesn't.

Our hostess is warm, friendly and professional, and has thought of everything you may need to make your stay very comfortable indeed.

We stayed in an upstairs apartment with a wonderful view of the St Lucia mouth and black, across a beautiful forest. It was quiet, spacious and the lights stay on during load shedding! We were given a map and recommendations for tours and restaurants, and the load-shedding schedule for our stay. Madeleine's recommendations even extend to a pickup and deliver laundry service, very reasonably priced.

Magdeleine is 'n fantastiese gasvrou! Hulle bedryf 'n pragtige instandgehoude lodge met vriendelike staff en baie gerieflike verblyf. Alles wat jy mag nodig hê om lekker te ontspan. Ons kind het die swembad geniet terwyl ons hond die tuin beter leer ken het. Almal was gelukkig. Dankie, Ingwenya Lodge, vir 'n goeie tyd. Ons sien julle weer. Groete.

Baie klein en ongerieflike kombuis/sitkamer.

Die enigste bank is uiters ongemaklik. Die plek is donker met min natuurlike lig. Gedurende ongure weer kan jy nie ontspan en TV kyk nie, die DSTV pakket is dit wat niemand belangstel om te kyk nie. As jy 'n visserman is, seeuitsig wil hê en gerief nie vir jou saak maak nie sal jy die uitsig geniet. Madelein is 'n perfekte gasvrou. Ons voel nie dat dit nie waarde per nag werd was nie. In Ballito het ons teen heelwat minder dubbel die grootte verblyf gehad en 5 keer die gerief met vol DSTV asook Netflix.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Very small and inconvenient kitchen/living room.

The only sofa is extremely uncomfortable. The place is dark with little natural light. During inclement weather you cannot relax and watch TV, the DSTV package is what nobody is interested in watching. If you are a fisherman, want a sea view and comfort is not important to you, you will enjoy the view. Madelein is a perfect hostess. We do not feel that it was not worth the value per night. In Ballito we had twice the size of accommodation for much less and 5 times the convenience with full DSTV as well as Netflix.

Beautiful view and paradisiacal location.

Bordering the natural forest with the most amazing little birds singing all around and looking out at the sea. However, the amenities in the unit are not luxurious and it's a great shame that we could hear our neighbors (who I believe was the owner) TV through the wall the nights we tried to sleep.

Ons sal enigetyd weer gaan! Sê net wanneer.

Na 7 ure op die pad is mens nie lus om nog te sukkel by die lodge nie. Ons het by Ingwenya aangekom en Madeleine het ons met 'n glimlag ontvang! Sy het vir ons vertel wat mens alles in en om St Lucia kan doen en ook sommer bietjie geskiedenis van die dorp. Sy het aangebied dat ons haar duikbrille en snorkels kon leen en ons ons huisie gaan wys. Met 'n mooi view het ons ingetrek. Die res van die week was ongelooflik, kamers was elke dag skoon gemaak en die skoonmakers was baie betroubaar. In St Lucia het ons gebruik gemaak van Advantage toer besigheid wat ek ook beslis sal aanbeveel! Om by Ingwenya te kon bly was 'n fees en ons gaan dit gou weer doen!

After 7 hours on the road one is not in the mood for problems at the lodge. We arrived at Ingwenya and Madeleine received us with a smile! She told us about all the things there are to do in and around St Lucia and also some history about the town. She offered us her diving goggles and snorkels and showed us our house. We move in with a beautiful view. The rest of the weekend was wonderful, rooms were cleaned everyday en the cleaners are very trustworthy. In St Lucia we made use of Advantage tour business which I would recommend as well! To stay at Ingwenya was a feast and we're doing it again soon!

Die feit dat ons 2 honde 100% welkom was, was ons grootste pluspunt.

Madeleine was baie vriendelik en het ons goed ingelig oor die omgewing. Dit was vir ons ongelooflik om ons 2 honde te kon saamneem en met hulle op die strand te kon speel. Lekker naby om na eetplekke toe te stap.

Madeleine was very friendly and informed us well about the area. It was amazing for us to be able to take our 2 dogs with us and play with them on the beach. Nice and close to walk to places to eat.

Rustig, vriendelik en skoon.

Die ligging van Ingwenya is baie goed en die personeel is baie vriendelik. Die geriewe was goed, net soos beskryf. Ons was 4 volwassenes en 4 kinders en ons kamers met ons eie kombuis/sitkamer en stoep was perfek vir ons verblyf.

Ingwenya's location is very good and the staff is very friendly. The facilities are good, just as described. We were 4 adults and 4 kids and our rooms with our own kitchen / living area was perfect for us.

Rustig en goed toegerus.

Die dubbelverdiepinghuisie was lekker rustig. Nie bedoel vir die meer voller figuur nie, met die steil trappies na bo, maar als wat mens nodig het.

Relaxed and well-equipped.

Nice two storey house, relaxed. Not suitable for the fuller figure since the stairs are quite steep, but everything you need.

Lekker!

Dit was baie lekker. Dit is bietjie uit die dorp uit wat lekker is. Geen geraas van motors of mense nie. Die beddens is baie lekker en die verkoeling ook.

Mooi netjies.

Ons het dit baie geniet, Madelein was baie behulpsaam en het ons baie welkom laat voel. Ons het baie goeie raad by haar gekry oor lekker restaurante en staproetes en plekke naby. Die huisie was baie skoon en mooi opgepas, die gordyne op die grondvloer het net nie mooi toegemaak nie en was dus nie baie privaat nie omdat die venster reg langs die swembad is. Ons honde was saam en dit was baie lekker oor daar plek was waar hul kon slaap en bly wat veilig was. Sal definitief weer hier wil bly.

Pretty neat.

We really enjoyed it, Madelein was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. We got very good advice from her about nice restaurants and walking routes and places nearby. The cottage was very clean and well looked after, the curtains on the ground floor just didn't close properly and were therefore not very private because the window is right next to the pool. Our dogs were together and it was very nice because there was a place where they could sleep and stay that was safe. Would definitely stay here again.

Pragtige foto, ons was op die pad.

Die lawaai van mede gaste was vreeslik vroeg in die oggend en laat in die aand. Niemand het iets daarom gedoen nie. Geen wifi, ketel nie altyd gewerk nie. Yskas nie baie koud nie.

Ingwenya Lodge 's response

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer Charlotte. Ingwenya Lodge streef daarna om altyd gaste gerieflik en gemaklik te akkommodeer. Ons was wel bewus van die mede gaste wat probleme veroorsaak het. Verskeie maatreëls is wel getref om die mense te beheer. Probleme met toerusting word onmiddellik uitgesorteer wanneer ons kennis daarvan dra.
Vriendelike groete,
Madeleine.

4 nachten in Ingwenya Lodge was goed, rustig, mooi uitzicht, Hippo door de tuin was interessant.

Deze lodge is aan te bevelen, ligt heel rustig en uitzicht door de bomen op de Oceaan. Wij zagen een hele woeste branding. Er was veel wind geweest. Dat de Hippo's 's avonds in de tuin zouden komen, hadden wij niet verwacht. best wel spannend. Goede tijd gehad.

This lodge is to be recommended, it is very peaceful and has a view through the trees on the Ocean. We saw a very fierce surf. There had been a lot of wind. We did not expect that the Hippos would come into the garden in the evening. quite exciting. Had a good time.
