iGwalagwala Guest House
91 Pelican Street, 3936 St Lucia, South Africa – Excellent location – show map
Elné was an amazing host. She gave great advice about what to do in the area. She even went out of her way (twice!) to offer us a packed breakfast. The guest house itself was spotless and very comfortable. Most of the rooms face the pool, which is great for cooling off on a hot afternoon. Thank you!
