The Best Budget Accomodation in St. Lucia and other Lake Saint Lucia, South Africa Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

BIBs has great facilites and services but can be very loud, and some of the patrons have been quite rude. The music lasts until late at night.

Good value overall.

Unique Qualities: There are three stoves in this hostel, which is quite rare. Morning walks with William, an excellent guide, are offered for free in the morning. They do beach drop offs and pick up every day as well as a free night drive. They are located right next to the dock where you can take a two hour cruise of the lake system.

They can book trips anywhere in Natal, including Hluhluwe-Imfulozi, Cape Vidal, Whale watching, St. Lucia River boat cruise, and others.
There is a camp ground here as well.

There are several campgrounds in St. Lucia all adminstered by Kwazulu-Natal Wildlife(KZN Wildlife). The sites are in a pleasant location with plenty of green grass and a bit of a wild feel even though the town is nearby. The site are in close proximaty to the lake and therefore get a lot of hippos roaming around a night as well as the occasional leopard. They are here! Birds are plentyful.
