Detailed Reviews
We had a fantastic experience. The host Marlize was excellent, professional, caring and went out of her way to accommodate us. Breakfast on the first day was divine, and because we left early on the next day, they graciously offered to pack us a breakfast basket for the road with delicious treat. Housekeeping made sure we felt at ease in terms of the pandemic, and the room was spotless. They offered us in room sanitizers too. From the moment we arrived until we left, we felt like royalty. The host even granted us the special request to have our African Grey travel with us at no extra charge. We love St Lucia and have stayed here before, and in searching for accommodation the host's prompt response via AfriStay was what hooked us. Before arrival we received text messages confirming our arrival. We were kept in the loop throughout the booking process and before arrival. Payment on AfriStay was easy and the whole booking experience comfortable. The photos reflected the property exactly as is, which is often not the case elsewhere, but what we saw is what we got and we were very happy to say the least. If you're looking for first class service, world class comfort and a destination where you don't have to worry about the pandemic, Turaco B&B is it. We never felt uncomfortable or worried about our health. If you wish to travel, you MUST visit this stunning B&B in St Lucia. Five stars - we would've given 10 if there were more!!! A highly recommended venue.

We stayed 2 nights in this B&B.
We received a very warm welcome, even though we arrived later than planned. In the morning we received a very tasty breakfast and a detailed explanation of what there was to do in the area. The location and hygiene are top.
Nothing is too much for the owners, you really feel welcome here. Highly recommended to stay here.

An awesome stay at the B&B, with central locations to the activities and beaches of St Lucia. Happy and helpful hosts for the time we spent with them. Great knowledge of what to do in the area which proved useful for us being first timers. Breakfast was all you needed, prepared based on what we felt like. Great service and willing help. A spacious room with little details to enjoy often not found in a hotel. Definitely your money's worth. We would recommend to friends and family...

Location was top, walking distance to Main Street where there are several restaurants. From this location it is also only an hour drive to Hluhluwe park.
Marlize was very quick and fine in her communication. We wanted to do a day safari, a hippo/crocodile tour and a whale tour. Marlize has arranged/reserved all this excellently with good parties. In addition, Marlize is always up for a chat. A real hostess.
The room was very spacious and tastefully decorated. Also the stay was very clean. Breakfast had a lot of variety. All in all we had a top stay!

Our stay at Turaco Guest House was fantastic!
Marlize and Johan are very warm, passionate people who run the guesthouse with heart and soul. The rooms are spacious, very clean, solidly and practically furnished, all with their own craftsmanship. The breakfast was extensive and very tasty. Their inspiring explanation of the area has provided us with a wonderful travel program. Moreover, May is an excellent period to explore the region. We highly recommend this top location!

This is a very well appointed Guest House. The rooms are well designed and very comfortable. The breakfast, served over looking the pool, was absolutely another highlight. Marlies, our host, was able to recommend restaurants which were not disappointing. her knowledge of the area and where to go was spot on. We would highly recommend her establishment.
