Santa Lucia Guest House

Santa Lucia Guesthouse sits in the town of St Lucia on South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal coast, at the gateway to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa's first World Heritage Site. Guests fall asleep to hippo calls from the nearby estuary before heading out to explore the wetlands and surrounding bush. The six-room guesthouse serves breakfast only, with a vegan option built into the morning menu, and Phillip walks every guest through what's available each day. A relaxed, personal base for travelers drawn to South Africa's wetlands and wildlife, away from the bigger coastal resorts.
