Had a one night stay at Little Eden - room and braai area was exactly what we wanted! I left a personal item in the room which was found and couriered to me at home - thank you! Highly recommend the upstairs private apartment with beautiful views over the ocean.

Even though we didn't need three bedrooms, my family booked the top floor sea view apartment in large part for the view. It really is amazing given that most properties in St Lucia don't have a view of the ocean. The balcony is really big with a big table for dining out, a few reclining sunchairs and a braai. Little Eden is in a great location. It is very quiet but is only a five minute drive or a 15 minute walk from all of the shops and restaurants on McKenzie Street. The buildings on the compound are not much to look at from outside, but the units appear to have been renovated recently and are tastefully albeit sparsely decorated. Bianca and Pretty were very helpful in confirming the booking and checking us in. As others have noted, there is a huge binder full of information on St Lucia, tour companies, restaurants, and facts about the local flora and fauna. It really is a helpful resource and painstakingly assembled. The apartment was clean and comfortable and our son was very happy curled up on the couch watching TV. The kitchen is well equipped and tea, sugar, and coffee are provided. The beds are comfortable and there is good storage space (closets) in each room. The bathrooms are furnished with nice toiletries in larger bottles which is more environmentally friendly. The tap water comes from a well so needs to be boiled before drinking. We had one issue - the water was out the first morning we woke up. Pretty quickly informed us that the pump was broken and that it was being addressed. The water was back on within a few hours so we were impressed with how quickly the management fixed the problem. They also allowed us to check out an hour after the normal time so that we could go on a morning bush walk. Overall, we had no complaints and would recommend Little Eden to others looking for self-catering apartments in St. Lucia.

We stayed for 3 weeks, which is way longer than most, but we had our plan to see the region and live in a small South African resort town. The location is impressive, one of only a few of many lodges with a view of the Indian Ocean coastal forest, sunrise, vervet monkies and many species of birds. They are on the quiet end, a quick walk o the nature trail, a little further is the boardwalk, dunes and beach. The lodge next door has a raised deck and bar you can use, great for watching humback whales. There can be issues with power and WiFi, but these are national issues for the most part. There is a generator, but it is not in constant use during the power cuts. We stayed in Impunzi, which is right next to the pool, which is in shade late afternoon. Access to activities is endless, we recommend Hluehluwe-Imfolozi, full day. Cape Vidal full day, Isamangaliso sunst and sunrise. As the units are self catering and fully equipped, it is also close to Mckenzie Street and supermarkets.
The staff are all great and ready to help.

Loved the peaceful, beautiful, upstairs 3 bedroom room with ocean view! Clean, comfortable beds, couches, large, modern kitchen and bathrooms. The pool was lovely although too cold for a swim. Grounds green and lush with monkeys, birds, and even an orange cat. Staff were extremely accomodating, called for rides, had recommendations and had a very reasonable laundry service. We had 19 folks in our group and they were so helpful.

Thank you, Bianca and your team! We had a great stay, with neat and clean accommodation and friendly staff. Everything was working and we had a safe place for the fur kids during the day while exploring the Eastern shores. Great breakfasts too, with a great view of the sea! Will recommend to people with, or without pets. They even provided a kiddy pool - in case the doggies got to hot, but it was a bit rainy during our stay, so it was not utilized. 2 braai areas and plenty of outdoor seating too, so lots of choice for your relaxation areas.

The room had everything you could possible want or need on holiday, including not great cellphone signal (but that's exactly what you need on your holiday). Pretty was amazing, friendly and extremely helpful. We felt like we were away from everything in absolute bliss of nature, but still walking distance away from all the amenities of St Lucia. When we come back to St Lucia we know where we will be staying.

The accommodation in the Ndlovu cottage was everything that it promised. There where two spacious bedroom, a full bathroom and an additional sleeper in the lounge, at my request. I travelled with elderly parents with mobility issues. There were no steps and two beautiful seating areas at the front of and the back of the cottage. A limitation given the cold weather was there was no dining area for meals. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking which we did every night of the week. The staff are attentive to guests needs and booked all our activities and made really useful suggestions. The hikes to the beach and around the town were really beautiful. We also sat outside at the pool and drank wine and spent quality time together. The cars had secure parking. It really was good value for money.

A very big thank you to Bianca and her staff. We had the best two weeks ever. Our top floor unit was spotless and serviced on a daily basis. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The unit have full aircon in all the rooms and a very well equipped kitchen. 3 beautiful bedrooms and 2 spacious bathrooms. Very modern with an exquisite view of the ocean. Stacking doors opening to a spacious balcony with a built in braai and an eight seater patio set. And don't forget about the sparkling pool right underneath our balcony. We loved it so much, we have booked again for December 2022.
One again welldone and a big thank you.
Regards

Staying at the place was an absolute pleasure. Friendly and helpful staff , great location for family with young children,unit was clean, bright and cheerful and everything has been revamped recently so nice and new.

Nothing to do with Little Eden but you hoping to make use of Cape Vedal for beach time please note its a 35 min drive and costs around R300 to enter for a family of 4 and you expected to pay each time you leave the park in a day which did leave a sour taste about St Lucia. There is a much closer beach rather go there -ask Bianca to direct you

Also Vodacom signal is poor at the lodge - good excuse to be offline from work !
