Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Warm, Welcoming and Wonderful. From the moment my husband first made the call to reserve the room, to the welcome and information on the site. Ursula was such a wonderful hostess. A anniversary get away was just what we needed. The rest and food was delicious! The swimming pool cleaner and refreshing. The AC was on a head of time so we entered a cool and beautiful decorated room as if we just got married. May God Bless both of you and the B&B. We feel so comfortable and relaxed it is hard to think about going back to reality. Thanks for giving us a safe place to unwind.

Spent a weekend at Marlin Lodge in the throes of load shedding. Ursula and her staff were so attentive, courteous and accommodating of our needs and wants. Accommodation is clean and comfy, breakfasts good. Would visit again. Good value.

A holiday destination is more than a clean room & nice surroundings; although Marlin Lodge ticks these boxes...its about much more. Johan, Ursula & staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome; from fixing our private fishing craft to inviting us into their home. Considering this was a free trip that we won, thanks to their generous sponsership of fishing comps in KZN, makes it even more impressive. We will definently be back with our friends !

We returned to Marlin Lodge after 12 years to find that it was still an excellent place to stay. Neli on reception was particularly helpful, and fixed up a hippo rip for us. We enjoyed a swim in the pool and appreciated the quiet location.

A lovely stay, booking was seamless. We were welcomed by Nelly who was very helpful. We enjoyed sundowners at the Ski boat Club and a good dinner in town at the reef and dune. A yummy breakfast was served the next morning and good assortment of options. the rooms are tastefully decorated and the aircon functioning well as it was hot. Overall good value for money.

Truly an incredible venue for family and freinds gathering . All the benifits of a massive home but the added bonus of privacy for each family. Staff and management make it seemless to host a crowd. Entertainemnt area large enough inside and out to make weather less of a factor but overall its charm is whats makes it a winner.

We booked at the last minute and were grateful to find accommodation in St. Lucia. Good location, clean, very friendly and helpful hostess. The room had airconditioning which was perfect for the hot summer! Breakfast was really good! Only the matras was a bit hard, but that’s really the only point of improvement I can think of.

What was supposed to be a two night stay turned into a ten night stay! The staff are all super friendly, the beds are so comfy, the decor is beautiful and rustic. Lovely braai/BBQ areas. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. Cannot recommend Marlin Lodge enough!
