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.
We were absolutely delighted with Don and the guesthouse and can recommend it without reservation! The rooms were modern, comfortable and equipped with everything you need (even charging cables and mosquito repellent). The breakfast was incredible: eggs of your choice, fruit salad, cake, .... There really was nothing left to be desired. Our host Don was particularly great. The airline had lost our luggage and he washed our laundry for free, gave us lots of tips and also provided us with mosquito spray etc. for our onward journey. We were also able to book tours through him and we got lots of great tips for excursions. Since we arrived very late, he even booked a restaurant for us on December 25th so that we could still have a nice dinner. We had a great time with Don and would book here again anytime! Absolutely recommend it!!!

( I do Apologize for my swedish humor in advanced )
Truly the most mazing guesthouse in St,Lucia. It was our first time to stay in this particular guesthouse but will truly not be our last! the most lovely welcome from the owner himself with drinks, ( that do we swedes appreciate, speaking from experience)
We quickly got sorted out after a few well needed beers, and were already informed of all the best restaurants in town were we could enjoy the evenings, ( “The ocean grill” was truly the best, you must ask for “samalek” )
Breakfast was one of the best I ever had! I must have gained a few Kg´s, no penny saved on quality nor quantity. Even breakfast to go was provided early mornings for our Game Reserve trips! ( Tip from me, ask for the amazing “BLT” truly a gift from above )
Now to the rooms, we all got a extremely generous room upgrade to have all direct acces too the pool from our rooms. The beds were large enough for a family of 4, king size would be a insult to the size of thees beds. Every room had an own Airconditioning unit so you could choose your own temperature, highly appreciated in the heat, bathrooms were spacious and modern. Even with the rooms no penny was saved, well equipåed with own minibar for you're “waters ;) “ and meet all of our european standard.
The host made us feel like home and family, supplied us with anything we could wish for, snorkeling gear and beach chairs and umbrellas for our beachdays. even managed for us to go deep sea fishing. To conclude if you want the little bit extra this would be the perfect choice for you!
we even skipped our planned trip to the kruger park to stay the last days of our vacation, if that doesn't speak for itself then you must read the review again :)

We stayed at the Rhino Coast Guesthouse for3 nights with our 3 teenaged kids. We were welcomed by Bradley, who immediately started spoiling us minutes after we got of the car. He booked our acitivities for us after offering good ideas matching our needs. Breakfast was absolutely great. One day we missed breakfast because of a boat‘s trip, so we where spoiled with an early morning breakfast and then sandwiches after returning from the trip. The guesthouse is very clean, the rooms are beautiful with enough space and modern big bathrooms. We managed to catch a tuna one day, so Bradley organized a possibility of bringing the fish to a nearby restaurant, where it was prepared for us for dinner. We enjoyed our stay at Rhino Coast Guesthouse a lot and would like to come back next time. Thank you Bradley and Donavan for being the best hosts and spoiling us over the whole stay!!

The host Don and his staff are exceptional and made us feel very welcome and at home.
We loved our rooms. The were very clean and comfortable with the best linen. The bathroom is big and modern with a walk-in shower. Doors leading on to the pool area.
Spotless pool with deck chairs.
The guesthouse is beautiful. Modern, cosy and everything is of high quality and well maintained. No load shedding.
Breakfast had a big variety and Don served us delicous eggs, bacon and sausage. Fresh fruit salad every day. We really enjoyed having breakfast out on the patio.
The location of the guesthouse is in a quiet peaceful neighbourhood. We felt quite comfortable and safe. Restaurants, shops and beach close by.
We highly recommend staying at the Rhino Coast Guesthouse.

We were warmly welcomed by the owner, who was happy to give us information to enhance our stay in St Lucia, and by his friendly staff who were always pleased to offer their help.
The accommodation was recently refurbished, spacious, clean, comfortable, quiet and secure. Its location was excellent, only a few minutes walk from shops and restaurants, as well as the main tourist attractions. The off-street parking outside was well lit.
The extra large bed was very comfortable. There was a good walk-in shower with nice toiletries and towels.
The breakfast was excellent with a buffet of quality cereals, yogurt and fresh fruit, plus a selection of cold meats, cheeses and salads, alongside toast, butter and spreads. We also enjoyed bacon and eggs cooked to order.
We would be very happy to stay there again on a future visit to St Lucia.

We were four (parents, 2 sons with 16 and 18J) here and absolutely delighted. The hosts are extremely friendly, prepare the unbelievably good breakfast every morning and fulfill all culinary special requests. The rooms are top, extremely clean, quiet and very tasteful. The guesthouse is ideally located and also very suitable for a stay of several days. Walk to the village center 10 minutes. There is a small pool and a self-service minibar for evening drink on the terrace. On a next trip we would certainly be there longer than the 3 nights we had this time.

We spent 4 nights in the Rhino Guesthouse in August 23. The house is very new, clean and superbly equipped. Don, the really friendly host, takes very good care of the guests, welcomes everyone personally and is always available to help and advise. Don takes a lot of time for his guests and tries to fulfill all wishes. The breakfast is the best we had on our SA trip, varied and healthy. Drinks for the evening are available on a trust basis in the house bar. It is very important to mention that the maids in the house are extremely friendly and helpful, you get the impression that they also feel very comfortable in the Rhino Guesthouse.
For us, the Rhino Guesthouse was the best accommodation on our trip.
St. Lucia is a beautiful place, restaurants are within walking distance. We never felt unsafe here.

The reception was great! The hosts were super friendly and polite. We were really well taken care of.
The food was also very good. A BBQ was even arranged where delicious meat and fish was served. In addition, everything is neatly cleaned every day.
It is definitely a must to go here!

For three nights we had a great stay in this guesthouse. Bradley managed everything superiorly and was very helpful on additional queries.
I would warmheartedly recommend this venue whilst staying in St Lucia .
All facilities for self catering are there and quality wise well above standard
Impact of loadshedding is relatively mild due to the convectors .
