Clean and affordable. Great service. It is like a sububan condo , practical but without much charm or personality.

Lodge was very nice and spacious. Staff was really helpful and provided recommendations for things to do and places to visit. They helped us with beach accessories for our trip to Cape Vidal. Highly recommended.

Pleasant stay and great staff
Very helpful and pleasant staff. Word of advice- if you are in SA in summer, beware of power cuts(this id country wide), as during those times there are no air-conditioners, only fans (Ndiza has a generator). When it is 40 degrees that makes a difference.

Breakfast was good even though it seemed the staff had no interest in being there!!! The staff service was disappointing, especially the receptionist!! We were having a drink at the bar at 10.45pm and was told the lodge closes down at 10pm. We had had a 10hr drive and arrived at 6.45pm so once we found somewhere to eat we just wanted to relax with a drink after a long day. If we had known this we would not have stayed. We have traveled around Africa and have stayed in some wonderful places with wonderful staff service at a fraction of the price.

Nice place
In quiet part of town, well kept property, nice garden. Excellent breakfast, good range incl fresh fruit, eggs cooked fresh. Beach and ocean can be seen from top deck where breakfast served, really nice location to start the day. Insect repellant required in the evening tho. Overall a good town to stop, we stayed 3 nights.

The wifi was none existent during our stay. They said to sit by reception if the signal was weak in the room. The signal wasn't weak. Our cells couldn't even see the router. I understand there are problems in Africa with such things. Funny, restaurants a short distance away had wifi every time we ate there.

Fresh, clean, well serviced. Superb view. Close to everything. Would recommend it more for adults than families (due to lack of a grassy area/playground and small pool).

Fantastic lodge with lovely staff
The location of the lodge is stunning, with fantastic views from the terrace out to the sea. St Lucia is a lovely place to stay while exploring the local area. Staff were extremely kind of helpful, even upgrading a friend's room for free so she could stay in the lodge next to some of the other members of our party. Highly recommended.

Amazing place to stay, great value for money too!
We stayed in a Cabana which was perfect for our little family of 4. We could eat in if we wanted and leave early for Safari without feeling like we'd wake anyone. Booked a lovely breakfast up on their decked balcony with amazing views over the trees looking out onto the river mouth. Great care is being taken to keep the eco-system working so whilst it was a pity that there were loads of trucks up at the beach you can appreciate what they are trying to do. Would definitely return to stay given the chance.

I had booked a 2 bedroom cottage in Ndiza but was alloted one in Little Eden which is in the same compound with access to the same facilities. The cottage was spacious, well furnished, with a lovely private garden and attached car park. Check in and check out was a breeze. The buffet breakfast was limited but sufficient. The resort doesn't serve lunch or dinner. The restaurants and shops are a full 15 minutes walk away. To get to the beaches a car is a must. All in all I would heartily recommend Ndiza.
