Dit was 'n heerlike, ontspanne week met 'n gerieflike huisie.

Baie oulike plek. Enigste aanbeveling sal wees om die getjipte borde, bakkies en koppies te vervang en te belê in 'n groenteskilfer, steakmesse en 'n toaster wat ordentelik werk.

It was a lovely, relaxing week with a comfortable cottage.

Very cute place. Only recommendation would be to replace the chipped plates, bowls and cups and invest in a vegetable peeler, steak knives and a toaster that works decently.

Dear Elmien, we are so grateful that you had a pleasant visit at Turtleshaven. I was not aware of the chipped crockery. Thank you for mentioning. I have already bought a good toaster and will replace the other. We try our best to satisfy our guests, and I am glad you found our staff pleasant. Kind regards, Elsa Karam.

Very central location, bonus that the OK shop across the road is open 24 hours!

Comfortable, antique and vintage look, nothing fancy (who wants fancy for a holiday anyway). The housekeeper is such a gem and was very quick to assist when we locked ourselves in the house. A bonus was the unexpected cleaning service, which was not an additional charge. Very quiet complex and extremely clean! The apartment is located on the second floor, so not wheelchair friendly, but absolutely awesome for a big family.

It was a pleasure to host Kyra and her family. It is a joy to accommodate guests who enjoy and appreciate the nature and wildlife of St Lucia. Welcome back.

Goed toegeruste eenheid.

Alles van die eenheid was baie goed en het die verblyf geniet. Positiewe aspekte: Goeie toegeruste eenheid. Alle vertrekke is ruim genoeg met ingeboude kaste. Naby (loopafstand) kafees, restaurante en petrolstasie. Skoonmakers maak mooi skoon en is baie vriendelik. Baie om in die omgewing te doen. Negatiewe aspekte: Hul gebruik Vodacom wifi en dit is meer af as aan. Net in die oggende was dit stabiel aan tot so 10h00. Daar is seker nog nie fiber in St Lucia nie. Wanneer daar loadshedding is kom daar ook nie water uit die krane uit nie (seker omdat boorgatpomp gebruik word vir al hul water). Sou verkies het as elke slaapkamer lugversorgers gehad het en nie waaiers nie. Geen sportkanale op hul DStv pakket nie. Omdat loadshedding so baie is was die hek tot die perseel heeltyd oop wat dan net oop- en toegestoot kan word as jy in- en uitgaan. Dink dis 'n risiko veral in die nag. Dit is 'n 8-slaapplek eenheid so 'n 2de parkeerplek vir die eenheid is eintlik 'n moet (daar is net een parkeerplek vir die eenheid). So as jy bv. 6 of meer gaste is waarvan 5 gewoonlik in 'n kar ry, moet die 2de kar buite in die straat staan.

Well equipped unit.

Everything about the unit was very good and enjoyed the stay. Positive aspects: Well equipped unit. All rooms are spacious enough with built-in wardrobes. Nearby (walking distance) cafes, restaurants and petrol station. Cleaners clean nicely and are very friendly. Lots to do in the area. Negative aspects: They use Vodacom wifi and it is more off than on. Only in the mornings was it stable until about 10h00. There is probably no fiber in St Lucia yet. When there is loadshedding, water does not come out of the taps either (probably because a borehole pump is used for all their water). Would have preferred if each bedroom had air conditioners and not fans. No sports channels on their DStv package. Because there is so much loadshedding, the gate to the site was open all the time, which can then only be pushed open and closed when you enter and exit. Think it's a risk especially at night. This is an 8 bed unit so a 2nd parking space for the unit is actually a must (there is only one parking space for the unit). So if you e.g. 6 or more guests, of which 5 usually drive in a car, the 2nd car must be parked outside in the street.

Liewe Anton ons is baie bly julle het n goeie vakansie gehad. T.o.v. die negatiewe aspekte wat u noem, die voorsiening van data, dit is onvoorspelbaar vir alle dienste in St Lucia en ons het u voor die tyd daarvan ingelig. Lugvoorsiening deur u verkies sou ook nie verskaf kon wees gedurende beurtkrag nie. Die sekuriteit hek is buite werking op oomblik omdat hul in proses is om a solar battery te verkry. Die argitek het ongelukkig die woonstel planne op getrek met een parkeerplek. Daar is nie 'n tekort aan parkering rondom die woonstel vir tweede kar. Baie dankie dat u ons gekies het vir u vakansie. Beste groete, Elsa Karam.

Sentraal geleë, naby winkels en restaurante - binne loopafstand. Dienste en vriendelikheid was baie goed. Ons het ons verblyf geniet, baie dankie.

Dit was ons eerste keer in St. Lucia. Die strande is baie mooi en skoon. Die winkels en restaurante is goed geleë en almal is baie vriendelik. Parkering is veilig en onder dak. Die enigste probleem wat ons ondervind het, was die N2-roete tussen Ermelo en Pongola wat in 'n baie swak toestand is. Geweldig groot aantal swaar voertuie wat die pad gebruik en dit veroorsaak baie stadige beweging.

Centrally located, close to shops and restaurants - within walking distance. Services and friendliness were very good. We enjoyed our stay, thank you very much.

It was our first time in St. Lucia. The beaches are very beautiful and clean. The shops and restaurants are well located and everyone is very friendly. Parking is safe and under cover. The only problem we encountered was the N2 route between Ermelo and Pongola which is in a very poor condition. Huge number of heavy vehicles using the road and this causes very slow movement.

Willem, ons is so bly julle kon jul vakansie by ons geniet. Ons erken die swak toestand van die N2.
Dit is ongelukkig 'n nationale probleem op die oomblik met die getal trokke wat op die roete asook op die N4 is.
Julle is welkom om ons weer te besoek en dan moontlik oor Durban te ry.
Baie groete. Elsa Karam

Baie geniet, was 2 gesinne en was baie lekker.

Ons was 2 gesinne. Die parkering was 'n klein probleem, maar het toe dit uitgesorteer. Saterdagaand was dit 'n geraas soos mense kuier voor in die straat, maar nietemin was dit baie lekker.

Really enjoyed, 2 families were and it was very nice.

We were 2 families. The parking was a small problem but then sorted it out. On Saturday night it was noisy as people were hanging out in the street, but nevertheless it was very nice.

Thank you Turtleshaven for good accommodation which was well priced.

The lady that took care of the place was so good, kind and honest to us. We did forget a pot and they did contact us. Your facility is well placed in the heart of St Lucia which made things very convenient for us. If we do decide to visit again we'd surely love to stay at Turtleshaven.
