This is really a great Value Award! The apartment is very spacious, comfortable with everything you need! The place with the pool is very beautiful. Super convenient because two minutes walk from the restaurants on the main street, especially where you can see hippos at night! I recommend

Very good accommodation, clean, standard furniture, fully equipped kitchen with everything you may need. Room service 👌. Very good location next to Isimangaliso world heritage site, shoprite and you walk to different restaurants.

I would highly recommend Flamingo Holiday Flats. I had a fantastic stay here. The apartment is not huge but is very comfortable with a fully fitted kitchen, DSTV, comfortable beds and excellent WIFI, something which is very hard to find.
The apartment was spotlessly clean. The pool is a great size especially as there are only 10 apartments in this small complex. It is close to shops and restaurants and the iSimangaliso gates. Erika was fantastic, very welcoming and had lots of advice about what to do. She also arranged an early check in for me.

Once you have stayed here you definitely won't return. The housekeeping staff are very friendly and polite however the reception staff are rude and unfriendly. I asked for clean sheets on the day we arrived because it didn't look l
Clean, which I received although it did smell damp. The bathroom are icky and moldy and overall the place is old. This was the first time in the area so we booked, but once we arrived we saw thar there are other lodges that are alot better ie. Cleaner and more upmarket for less. I would not stay here again.

The one night stay at Flamingo Lodge met our expectations. It was clean and tidy. Some of the furniture is a bit old and the room towards the road was a bit loud early in the morning. Rubbish bin should be secured better against the monkeys.

We stopped over at St Lucia from Kruger Park on our way to the South Coast. Firstly the people in St Lucia arranged between them selves to find us a spot on Christmas Day. Flamingo Holiday Flats are clean and neat and has everything one needs to have a nice holiday. The staff were very friendly as well and the next time we visit we will definitely make use of Flamingo Holiday Flats.

I enjoyed our stay. It was clean and pleasant. I would recommend it. Just two points.
1. There are steps leading up to the units that could prove challenging. Elderly people will battle carrying suitcase etc up the steps
2. I may come from the city ? but a chain or a boom at the entrance would be good as anybody can go to where the cars are parked just off the street.

Only stayed for one night after deciding to come in early. Accommodation was much better than where we went afterwards at twice the price. Good pool and spa areas shared braai areas which is good for socializing, this would be my preferred stay if coming back. TV is a bit small and in bedroom otherwise A1
