St Lucia – Gistihús

Ohad Ísrael

Marlize is an amazing host that really cared that we’ll have the best time. I never met such an great host! Even before we arrived, she was helpful and responsive with questions about the drive to and from St. Lucia and provided tips for that. Upon check-in she immediately handed us maps and helped us build an itinerary. She also asked if we need help with booking activities. When she learned that we were going whale watching early in the morning she suggested that we skip breakfast before, and instead she’ll have breakfast pack waiting for us in the room’s fridge when we returned. Both evening she asked what we would like for breakfast and suggested options for us to choose. When we were in urgent need for laundry after the whale watching, she immediately came to the rescue. She was also very quick to responses. Both before and during our stay. The place itself in nice. The rooms are large. Both the regular room and the family room very quite location. Not on the busy main street, but an easy 10 minute walk that felt safe even at night.

It is an amazing place we want to come back to. We were delighted during our stay for several reasons. Firstly, our room was beautifully decorated. Every small detail, including the scent, was carefully considered. For instance, there is a comfortable bathtub with a bathtub tray and candles; the sink is decorated with the image of a hippo. There are gels, shampoos, body lotions, cotton swabs, and pads near the sink – all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The bed was comfortable, and I must say we are quite particular about it. There is a TV in the room – although we didn't watch it, we enjoyed listening to the radio with local and classical music. Additionally, we were provided with tea, coffee, and small snacks in the room. Secondly, the owner of the place, Adrian, helped us plan and organize our stay in St. Lucia. Thanks to him, we had the best experience during our entire journey in South Africa. We had a boat tour to see hippos. Importantly, we were on a boat with only a few tourists and a knowledgeable guide, while other ships were crowded with people. Our guide showed us some additional sights. The next day, we went ocean fishing, and there were only five of us on the boat. We were very lucky, and for 3.5 hours, we enjoyed whale watching. Now, we have hundreds of pictures and videos of whales, and I even caught a big tuna! Adrian joined us to ensure the fish was properly cooked in the restaurant. It was a delicious and unique experience; we had never eaten such fresh tuna. Adrian also provided suggestions about restaurants, local markets, and other excursions. We truly appreciated the way he and Marie treated us. Thirdly, the breakfasts were superb. In the evening, guests can come to the hall, have a drink, and listen to music. There were books and photo albums available. For those interested, there is a small pool. We didn't swim but enjoyed its illumination in the evenings. We highly recommend booking this place.

The room was comfortable, clean, welcoming. The swimming pool and the garden, a little corner of paradise. Furthermore, the kindness and availability of Jorge and his family are unique: they always have advice to give you for every need, even before arrival. It was an unforgettable stay!

The building, property, appointments, art are each and all lovely. The hosts answered all my questions and made arrangements for me to see the hippos. Breakfast- really good buffet choices and hot foods if you want. Above and beyond- hosts did a night drive with me to try to find hippos (no luck) and I was made a nice simple sandwich whenI arrived (I'd been in a car for 6 hours and needed to leave for my hippo boat). Really- so glad I stayed here.

Elné was an amazing host. She gave great advice about what to do in the area. She even went out of her way (twice!) to offer us a packed breakfast. The guest house itself was spotless and very comfortable. Most of the rooms face the pool, which is great for cooling off on a hot afternoon. Thank you!
