Von den Bildern her war die Unterkunft ein Highlight unserer Reise, war es dann aber nicht... Wir hatten schon einen schlechten Start als wir ankamen und 25 Minuten erfolglos klingelten, Email schrieben und Nachrichten schickten (da wir nur eine Daten Sim hatten können wir nicht anrufen). Die Unterkunft ist in Ordnung, allerdings sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Wir hatten mit Abendessen gebucht, es hat auch geschmeckt, trotzdem würden wir es nicht mehr machen. Wir hatten es eher als gemeinsames Abendessen mit den anderen Gästen geplant, waren aber die einzigen und dann würde ich mir doch lieber aussuchen was auf den Tisch kommt. Frühstück war auch in Ordnung, die Zubereitung dauert aber etwas, wenn man eine Tour geplant hat sollte man das mit einkalkulieren. Das Personal beim Essen wirkte manchmal etwas genervt oder unmotiviert. Motiviert war dagegen der Gärtner der unser Auto gewaschen hatte.Posted on Google![]()

We were amazed by the package that Ndiza Lodge offered, which included our accommodation. The cabanas are beautiful, private and very spacious. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. The excursions as part of the package were absolute amazing. Saw 4 of the big 5 on day 2. Definitely recommend this and will certainly be back!Posted on Google![]()

The rooms are immaculate and clean, spacious and everything that you would need and more is available. Amanda the owner is truly amazing, gracious, friendly and we felt so very welcome. It literally felt like a home away from home. Amanda even goes out of her way to share information and knowledge of St.Lucia and all the things that can keep visitors busy during their stay. The staff are really friendly and polite, and provide top class service to their customers. You can tell they have appreciation for all the guests that walk through the door.
The breakfast area has a beautiful view over the estuaries and the ocean and the breakfast itself.... Well I felt like I was eating restaurant quality food!! Just superb!!
We would highly recommend this unique sanctuary, “Nadiza Lodge”! This is a great getaway to St. Lucia! Fantastic accommodation for the whole family or romantic getaway for two!
A huge thank you to Amanda and the staff for making us feel so welcome and comfortable. We can’t wait to return. Thank you for everything!

We stayed over Christmas for a week at Ndiza Lodge and Cabanas, and we can only recommend this place - the deck where you can have breakfast or get a... read more drink in the afternoon features a perfect view over the estuary, the staff is doing a wonderful job with a smile and made us feel at home. Breakfast was made to order from a wish-list everyday, there are two pools, load shedding is compensated with a generator. Laundry is done fast and very good, you can get your car washed.
Bottom line: we were very happy with our stay. More
In St Lucia just about every property is B & B or a Self Contained apartment. There are no large chain hotels. Ndiza is not on the main street and... read more therefore it is relatively quiet. Fortunately, or unfortunately, we did not see any hippos on the street or out of the river. The accommodation is very secure with a sliding steel gate at the entrance and you need a remote control to open it. The room, a Cabana, is quite spacious but the bathroom is very strange with a strange and narrow layout. One could get hurt on the towel rack. The room is a self-catering accommodation, there is a fridge, microwave, hotplates and the usual pots and pans. We did not use it as breakfast was included and we ate out for dinner. There is air conditioning in the rooms but the windows are left open defeating the purpose of AC. Although the windows can be closed it is not easy to do as the latches are rather stiff and can’t get hand through the security screen. All in all, it is a good base for exploring the nearby national parks. The staff is very cooperative and helpful. The breakfast is very good and there are good views from the breakfast room. More

Add to that the gPS was confused and the signage is non existent. We were assisted by nature reserve wardens. We were assisted by a very irritated hostess who was al bout us not reading rules about checking in. she was not interested in our reason and experience. The security was of no assistance. As though we had committed a crime we were instructed to leave their property (gate). Travelling with my family in a foreign registered car we could not find and anyone to pick up our calls. We had to spend the night in the car! Rules are rules she kept telling us. People with such disregard for basic human curtesy have no business being in the hospitality industry. More
What a beautiful place! Perfectly situated with an incredible view on the ocean through a lush garden.

The hotel is in a very quiet partof St Lucia, but close to the center
This is our second stay at Ndiza, this time at the cabanas. As usual we enjoyed our stay. The staff is always helpful and friendly, the accommodation was neat, clean... read more and tidy, and any issue, if there is, is quickly resolved. During our previous stay we had no issues, during this stay, there was only one issue where our power tripped during the rain. We reported it and an electrician was sent out immediately and the trip resolved within an hour or two (we were on the beach so when we came back everything was fine again). The property is perfectly located (some of the best in my opinion) and has an excellent view from the deck. We would likely stay here again when we visit St. Lucia. More
We had a cabana with breakfast included and based ourselves here for 3 weeks. This was the best decision we could have made.

Staff were so helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and would use if we ever returned.
Wonderful stay at Ndiza. Would have been nice to meet and greet Amanda. Braai area or built in braai required more lighting, but location, deck views, breakfast, and cleanliness excellent.... read more The staff were very accommodating and were exceptional
The common grounds are fine (clean, quiet, super views from the breakfast room, nice staff) though smaller and more cramped than it looks on the photos. Parking is tight.... read more We were given a dark room (electricity on compulsory even during the day) giving under a passageway. No air, no light, no view. Claustrophobic. It was so cluttered with useless trinkets and vases that we did not know where to put our suitcases or own items. The night watchmen used this passageway to come and go which allowed no privacy if we wanted to sit outside or open the curtains. The comment of the receptionist who showed us the room still rings in my ears: "so this is going to be home away from home, enjoy!" Well, we did not and felt cheated.
The property is not as advertised on the website, yes the pictures are correct, but the units are at the back with no view at all. That being said,... read more service was very good, breakfast too and we enjoyed our stay. For what one get the accommodation is over priced.
We had an amazing stay at Ndiza Lodge and Cabanas. It’s a shame we only stayed for one night. The room are very spacious. Everything is clean and the rooms... read more are cozy. You can park your car right in front of your cabana.
We had dinner at the lodge, the lasagne was fabulous and we could enjoy the view of the sun setting over the ocean.
Special thanks to Amanda, who took care of everything before we even arrived. Last year our stay got cancelled because of Covid-19. We have been in touch for over a year. She made sure we could have dinner between two activities. Everything was arranged for us and we had an amazing time! More

Arriving the manager was so friendly and helpful her customer service was tops. She gave us a tour and explained how ever works and where everything is. Always kept us up to date of the loadshedding schedules even though there was a generator and we never worried about having power. In your room they have a file for you with all the information regarding Ndiza and St. Lucia from Doctors to restaurants to all the activities available in the area. The Cabanas are beautiful, clean and comfortable. Had an amazing and confutable stay. Ndiza has 3 pools to choose from depending on what you are in the mood for that day, and the breakfast service and food were amazing. Ndiza has such a great view of the lagoon, ocean and wetland it is breathtaking.
Ndiza is definitely the place to go when your soul needs rest and rejuvenation.
Thank you to all Ndiza staff for an amazing stay. More

A fantastic town to visit if you would like to see the Big 5 and have the beach experience all at once. The Lodge will organise everything for you before you get there. Communication was fantastic.
