Hi Bryan
Thank you for the lovely review! We do have 4 rooms with fully equipped kitchens, including microwaves. However, you did not book one of these. Maybe you saw it on my listing and thought that all the rooms are equipped with kitchens? I am glad that you had a great stay! Warm regards, Amanda

Excellent stay, beautiful view.
Had a wonderful time at Ndiza with small children. Had wonderful breakfast every morning with a beautiful view. We barely noticed any power outages, they have standby power for lights and TV. Very nice braai area at the apartment.

Dear Rebecca,
Thank you for the lovely compliments.
Regarding your low rating on customer service, we have three members of management staff on the property from 6am daily. We are always available and ready to assist when asked.
We do not advertise a full bar, it is a small honesty bar with a decent selection of drinks. You were most welcome to provide your own drinks. There is an ice machine in the bar with ice inside. We also have ice in the kitchen and would gladly have provided you with ice if we were asked.
We are not a hotel, but a lodge/guest house. Our manageress stays on the property and is available until 10pm, and thereafter for emergencies. She responds immediately if the bell outside the office is rung by a guest, even after 10pm. I honestly do not know of any guesthouse that has a 24-hour reception.

Great time in a peaceful atmosphere. The lodge was neat and clean, and the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and was served on the patio with a lovely view. We didn't even know about load shedding, because the lodge provides for it. Will definitely visit again.

Mixed feelings.
Beautiful place on arrival, very good reception. The room is beautiful. For the price I at least expect more coffee. We could only enjoy 1 cup of coffee in the room. Only 1 milk per person. There is room to pick up coffee at the breakfast area. Breakfast was nice, hasbrowns still raw, fruit salad warm. Food was already ready, so the toast came later. The air conditioner in the room is leaking water. Water drips on the TV and plugs, runs down the shelf and then onto the ground. Floor was soaking wet and slippery. Had to throw in towels. Coffee station is impractical. Plugs must first be pulled out and boiler moved to get to the plugs. Only 1 easy chair in the room for 2 people. Beautiful large bathroom, small towel was dirty though.

Hi Danel
Ek is eerlikwaar verstom deur jou woorde. Dankie vir die komplimente.
Ek wil graag verduidelik van die lugversorging - ons humiditeit is baie hoog. As jy die lugversorger kouer as 21 grade stel, sal jy kondensasie kry. Dit gebeur oral in St Lucia, nie net by Ndiza nie. Dit was egter aan julle genoem.
Julle het slegs een aand gebly - daar was genoeg koffie, tee, suiker, cremora en melk. Ons koffiestasie is oop 24 uur per dag. Dit is gratis en baie sentraal.
Die ketel in die kamer het sy eie muurprop. As julle egter die prop en die ander twee langsaan vir iets anders gebruik het, sal julle moet uithaal om die ketel aan te sit. Ek vra nederig om verskoning as een van julle drie klein handdoeke vuil was - dit het nog nooit gebeur nie. Ons kamers is almal baie groot - omdat julle slegs een aand gebly het, en ons volbespreek was, het julle egter die laaste kamer geboek.
Ek vra ook om verskoning as julle vrugteslaai nie yskoud was nie - die hashbrowns lok baie komplimente, juis omdat dit nie doodgebraai word en steeds bros en krakerig bedien word.
Ek is dankbaar vir die komplimente - dit sou egter baie gaaf gewees het indien jy die klagtes aan ons genoem het sodat ons jou dadelik kon help.
Baie dankie dat jy by ons gebly het.
Groete
Amanda

There are no complaints, a few personal preferences I have, but overall, great.
Although there is lovely seating on the private wooden deck, I would have appreciated a table with a chair, for example to comfortably work on your computer. Something small, but it can help make the stay perfect!

Unit number 5 was small even for just 2 people. The unit was next to the gate of the complex. The gate is used by guests as well as staff members, so is used quite frequently. Therefore I feel like the unit was too expensive.

Dear Allard,
I am sorry to hear that you were not very happy. As you well know that during your stay at Ndiza we experienced very strong winds. This unfortunately does cause sand and bugs to blow into the pools. My staff are constantly cleaning the pools. I wish you had told me this while you were staying with us. I would have taken the staff to task for their comments immediately. We renovated all the cabanas in May last year. The kitchens and the bathrooms were newly tiled and new appliances were bought. The fridges are never switched off. This just does not happen. I have just returned from the cabana you stayed in and I did not detect any smell in the fridge. No other guests have mentioned this either. Once again, I wish you had brought this to our attention while you were here. It is always so much easier to solve these little problems while you are present instead of receiving bad feed back when you have left. We are always present and available.
I will speak to the gardener regarding the sweeping. I know he sweeps once a day only - but if this was a problem, we could have solved that as well. Ndiza is not at all becoming commercial. We are busy yes - but that does not mean we are not available to our guests.

The accommodation is above average clean and great for a getaway.
We first stayed in the B&B part and then in the self-catering "Cabanas". The B&B has lovely spacious rooms (en-suite of course) and is tastefully furnished and decorated. The breakfast is well prepared but maybe a bit expensive for the small amount, but I should probably mention that I weigh 130kg and eat for two! The gardens are beautiful and well maintained. This is the first place in St Lucia where I have ever been able to see the sea and estuary from the accommodation's main deck. Especially beautiful! The Cabanas are acceptable for the price, the bathroom was just very impractically laid out for taller people. The entrance to the bathroom as well as the shower door is so narrow that I had to turn diagonally to move in and out of the toilet, and the toilet seat is about 10 cm from the wall, meaning that you sit half diagonally/crosswise on the toilet must traffic. I mention again that I'm a bit big and normal people probably won't complain so much about the small space. Still, this does not greatly detract from the stay, the places are particularly neat and clean. Each place has its own covered meeting place with a cute built-in braai area. Cabana means the units are built in a row facing each other with a wall separating each place, so if there are inconsiderate guests moving in it is an annoyance. Mostly it is one of the best value for money places in St Lucia. Well done Amanda.

We were very pleased with Ndiza, we stayed in Cabana no 5 which is a bit more private. I did feel that the place was smaller than I thought and that the kitchen could do with a little upgrading. The morning meal was also a bit expensive, but we had a great stay.

Andre,
Die tyd om in te boek is 2 uur. Dit word oral so aangedui. Dit is ook die tyd wat meeste akkommodasie plekke as reël het. Jul het in 'n selfsorg eenheid gebly. Ontbyt was opsioneel vir julle. Jul was ingelig dat indien jul vroeg ontbyt wil hê, dit met plesier gedoen kan word. Julle moes net gevra het.

Relaxed pampering by people who care and clearly understand the industry.
We are actually picky guests when it comes to cleanliness. We were very impressed. It was also noticeable that the staff served us cheerfully. They also gave us good recommendations for excursions and even make reservations for guests. The breakfast was fragrant and nicely served. It was of course a further bonus to enjoy it all on the beautiful wooden deck in the most beautiful garden which naturally flows into the grafted forest. The decor was chosen with an expert eye. The original artworks are a feast for the eyes. It was a privilege to stay with Ndiza. Amanda's daughter runs Little Eden where we found the same quality.

We had a wonderful stay at Ndiza Lodge. The cabana was clean, tidy and well equipped. It would be useful to know that DSTV only offers certain channels (we were not aware that it does not offer children's channels). A jungle gym by the pool/lawn would also be handy. This will give the parents a chance to quietly enjoy the delicious breakfast and view. Leona is a star! She is friendly, professional and very competent!
