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.

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

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.

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.

We'd go again in a heartbeat! Just say when.
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!

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.

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.
