About this property

On the outskirts of the residential area of St Lucia, you’ll find Ingwenya Lodge, nestled in the heart of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The pool gives you the opportunity to take a dive, or just have a drink on the poolside after a long day. You can park for free at the lodge, and you’ll have free access to WiFi in all guest rooms. Situated in South Africa’s third-largest protected area, this family-friendly, self-catering lodge offers access to the immensely diverse ecosystem of iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The property borders the nature reserve with a view of both the sea and the estuary, a very unique privilege in St Lucia.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.9 for a two-person trip.
