Umlilo Lodge
09 Dolfyn Avenue (St Lucia) 3936

Umlilo Lodge is located in St. Lucia, a small coastal village surrounded by the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, South Africa's first National World Heritage Site.

This village is the only one in the world to be completely surrounded by a World Heritage Site. Our en suite rooms are air conditioned, and have direct garden views or balconies overlooking the pool and garden.

We also have a Boma where you can join us in the evenings around a fire (Umlilo) when having a Braai or traditional dinner in an African pot. From Big 5 game drives to boat cruises, and from snorkelling safaris to night drives, let your hostess at Umlilo Lodge arrange your activities for you.

What people say

The owners were wonderful to us. Service was perfect. This small family built lodge has a few rooms in the middle of a beautiful jungle garden. We really enjoyed our stay. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was fantastic!. Staff was friendly. Had excellent breakfasts, Outside area was lovely. We had no issues. Our booking stated that we'd have a king sized bed, but we had 2 single beds pushed together which was dissapointing. The beds were also extremely uncomfortable. The mattress protectors were rotten and the linen was stained. The tooth brush holder was dirty from previous guests and therefore unusable. We felt that the room was not up to four star standard. Based on these factors we would not recommend the lodge.
