89 guests' feedbackWe had a very nice stay. It is spacious, safe and peaceful. They were very friendly and helpful.
Spacious with all the necessary accessories for comfortable self-catering.
Very nice place. All appliances and amenities.
Hi, it was awesome. Will want to go again.
The place is very neat, the apartment has everything you need. Quality furniture and mattresses and a bonus of solar if the power goes out. Very comfortable, quiet surroundings and an excellent friendly hostess. Thank you for allowing our little wofie, even if you are not pet friendly. We can definitely recommend this gem of a place.
Very nice place, we will visit there again anytime!
Had a very nice stay. Friendly and informative hosts. Neat and private, well equipped and also equipped for load shedding.
The place had been a very nice place to stay. The location makes it very ideal to visit the town on foot. The apartment was clean and very tidy, and everything was nicely laid out. It has everything a person can think of when visiting St. Go to Lucia. Outdoor cold shower for the sandy feet, private braai area, secure under shade net parking. The apartment has a stove and has everything you need. Little house in the wilderness. Tannie made us feel very much at home and was a good guide to the area. Anything you want to know about St. Lucia and the parks, just ask her. Thank you very much.
Lovely little place. Ideal for what I was visiting for.
When we arrived, we were greeted by a very friendly owner who offered plenty of useful advice on what to do and where to go out for dinner. The accommodation was very comfortable and made for a relaxing reprieve after a day of activities.
We had a wonderful stay at the place. Tanie and Oom were so hospitable and especially understanding of my two young boys. Accessible and easy, with lights and TV even during load shedding. Everything you need for a stay away from home. Very comfortable and exactly like the pictures.
We had a very nice stay. The apartment is equipped with everything one needs and everything is practical. There is a backup electricity system with solar. A servant comes to clean if necessary. I would go back again anytime.
Friendly people. Nice place with air-conditioning. Very nice braai place and is very safe. Walking distance from the village.
The place was clean and cosy. Gerda was very friendly and made us feel at home.
Their garden is a loop court and the birdsong was wonderful. It's very private with secure parking under shade netting. If we get another opportunity to St. Lucia, we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.
I will recommend this to any other travelers.
It was perfect for me and two boys. We had a nice stay and auntie Gerda went out of her way to make it very pleasant for us.
Gas stove, solar panels and borehole that help during load shedding. Gerda is friendly and keeps you informed of everything happening in the area with excellent service in a private apartment.
Everything was as advertised. Only downside was that WiFi was not viewable all the time, but is no fault of the owners. The service provider was extremely unpredictable. The times when there was WiFi it worked great to keep the kids busy in the evenings.
The owner is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend the place to anyone.
Had a great time and rested. Everything is nice and close and we were able to enjoy everything we planned for our short stay. Will definitely come back.
Gerda and Tiger are great people, were ready to assist to resolve any issues and gave us good suggestions of places to visit. Our young men were thrilled to have wi-fi as nowadays it's no longer just a luxury.
Nice close to main street. Safe and tidy. Was very kindly welcomed.
Too beautiful for words. Clean and everything you need for a nice rest.
Beautiful place to visit with the family. The bunk beds were a feast for the children. The late check-in time also helped a lot, especially if you drive far.
Caring people and very pleasant.
It's self-catering, so remember to bring your own towels, bath products, toilet paper, coffee and tea etc. to pack. Fortunately, we travel with it anyway. We were in St Lucia during the week off season, and literally had the town and restaurants to ourselves!
We would definitely recommend Gerda's Place to anyone. Although the accommodation is at the owners' house, privacy was not a problem at all.
Location is excellent. Apartment has tranquility that surrounds it.
Value for your money.
Really had a good rest at a very nice location.
Very nice people with a very nice and nice place to stay!
Very friendly welcome and everything was in order on arrival. Very neat and comfortable and good service. Thank you very much.
Comfortable and quiet. Good value for money.
See stars.
The host was wonderful! We all had a fantastic stay. The place was well located and super clean and affordable (everything we wanted and more!) Definitely recommend. Will definitely be staying at Gerda's Place next time we visit.
Very nice, comfortable, very safe.
Gerda received us kindly with all the information we needed. Place is well equipped and tidy. Will definitely stay there again.
Gerda's Place exceeded all our expectations. Very nice stay and can recommend it.
Gerda, thank you very much for your hospitality, we had a wonderful time! We would definitely recommend Gerda's Place.
What a pleasant experience! Gerda's place is fully equipped with every conceivable comfort. Luxurious and comfortable, neat and clean, with beautiful mosaics and outdoor decorations at the braai area. Gerda is extremely friendly and hospitable - from calling in advance to help with advice on the road, suggestions for places to eat and things to do, and even notes to warn about load shedding times so we could prepare accordingly. All this while we could still be completely private. We had a great time, and were sad to leave this cute little place behind, after what was far too short a break. Gerda's Place will for sure and without a doubt be our holiday destination again when we visit St. Go to Lucia. Thank you Gerda for allowing us to participate in Gerda's Place.
A great place to stay. It was neat, clean, secure and the host was very friendly and helpful. Only 1 note: the bed was quite narrow and on the short side.
Gerda was a good hostess and every day there was a follow-up on our previous day.
Very neatly and comfortably furnished. Good hostess.
Just what we wanted, peace and quiet. Friendly people.
Would definitely recommend this cute place. It is very private and fully equipped with everything one needs. Was our second time there and will no doubt book there again.
Gerda and Tiger are great hosts. They make you feel at home and ensure that everything is right for their guests.
Our stay was short, but it's a fantastic place and we will definitely go back! Everything one could need is there. It's neat, private and the area is peaceful. We were very pleased with Gerda and would recommend anyone to visit her at any time!
Aunt Gerda is terribly hospitable. Terribly cute little place would recommend it to anyone!
Gerda's Place met all my expectations! The accommodation was very neat, it's cleaned every day and it's close to all the activities. St Lucia is really the place to be!
Very friendly reception. Very neat and clean with whatever you need. Private gate that you open and lock yourself is a bonus. Really worth it. Definitely recommend it.
We really enjoyed our holiday. Gerda's is very neat, clean and well equipped. It's walking distance from the shops. Gerda is very friendly and helpful. Gerda's has a very beautiful garden. We saw blue monkeys and pygmy mouse dogs in the garden almost every day. We even saw hippos in the street in the evening. We can't wait to go again.
I had a really nice stay with very friendly people. Everything I needed was in the apartment and it's also located in a quiet neighborhood.
Clean place, nice people, good service. WiFi is a bonus.
Gerda's place is a beautiful and peaceful place. Gerda is a very caring hostess. What we appreciated is that she let us know in advance about load shedding. We could make plans for it. Would recommend Gerda's place to everyone. Thank you very much.
Gerda was friendly and accommodating. She did us a huge favour. The flatlet was a bit small but private and quiet. The bed is a double and somewhat uncomfortable. No towels so bring your own.
Gerda's Place is very clean, tidy and has everything you need, the most beautiful garden and is in a very quiet area.
Dear Aunt Gerda. Hospitality amazing. Neat place, has everything you need in the house. Nice place. Children were very comfortable there and felt at home.
The place is very clean, safe and comfortable. Above everything it is very private, ideal for a family with young children who can be noisy. We will consider this place first when we go to St Lucia again. The owner is friendly, helpful and professional. I don't have any complaints. What a lovely experience!
We had a very nice and private stay at Gerda's Place. A must do is Cape Vidal snorkel, night game drive and boat tour on the river.
A perfect spot if you are up and out for most of the day. Clean, well equipped and good value for money. The only thing I would change would be to put in more comfortable lounge chairs.
It's neat, it's well located and the owners are very hospitable. You have privacy. It's very convenient and comfortable. You just feel at home.
Thank you Gerda, Linda and I enjoyed the tranquility, will definitely recommend your place to friends.
Excellent service provided. Very private, neat and well furnished.
Neat, clean, good location, and Tiger and Gerda makes one feel at home immediately. Daily cleaning service was a plus.
Very tidy and very hospitable, nice stay, will go again.
Friendly, quick reception. The place was fantastic and I will stay there again. I'll also recommend it to friends.
We really enjoyed it. Gerda is a wonderful hostess. We arrived there are strangers but left as friends. Thanks so much.
Gerda gives personal attention without intruding one's privacy. Apartment is well equipped, clean and neat. Well located, private and safe. Nice to be the only client without the noise of other people. A tip: 2 ply toilet paper makes you feel a bit more spoiled. Rubber mat in front of the shower can be replaced with something woolen. I'm not complaining, just saying.
It needs a queen-size bed with a decent mattress or 2 single beds pushed together. Double bed no longer works for a long time, it's for one person if you weigh over 100 kg. The bed and mattress were really unacceptable. Place was very stuffy/musty inside, maybe left empty for a long time in the coastal climate. On a positive note, it's really good value for money and the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. If the sleeping section is improved we will definitely visit there again. Gerda is a lovely hostess and very concerned about her guests, thank you!
Accommodation is neat, well equipped, exactly as advertised.
Clean, neat apartment, private and safe braai area. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to visit St Lucia. Close to shops, petrol station, stalls and very clean.
Gerda is a wonderful hostess and very helpful. She goes out of her way, without being bothersome, to keep us happy. She even got up in the middle of the night to take my wife to a doctor. Will definitely stay there again. Everything is excellent without any complaints. Thank you Gerda! The location is also great and walking-distance from businesses.
We were received absolutely friendly, and were fully informed about how everything works, where everything is and what to do and see in St Lucia. The reception immediately made you feel at home and at ease. The apartment was well equipped and comfortable.
Central placed, very nice place, enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
Nice place, nice with children, home feeling, nice place, friendly people in St Lucia.
Thanks Gerda for your hospitality. Will definitely return!
We enjoyed our stay at Gerda's Place tremendously. The unit is private and peaceful and yet within walking distance of the main road and shops. Everything was neat and clean and Gerda is very hospitable and helpful. We will definitely recommend Gerda's Place.
Was very helpful and beautiful.
Very good reception by Gerda with a full explanation of how everything works. Unit has a high standard of equipment and very spacious in a beautiful garden and setting. Very good security. Highly recommended.
Convenient parking at apartment and beautiful garden!
St Lucia is a peaceful, safe, small town. A beautiful spot. A walk down to the estuary and a trip to Cape Vidal is highly recommended.
It was lovely and we had everything we needed. It was peaceful and safe.
Gerda is a fantastic hostess and we will definitely visit again.
Nice house, quiet location. Close to the restaurants. Perfect for a couple with children. We found it great.
Gerda is well informed about the area.
Hospitality from hostess, Gerda, was excellent. The apartment is serviced every day which made the stay even more pleasant. The apartment is in a quiet area, but within walking distance of good places to eat. A boat trip on the lake to see all the manatees and crocodiles, as well as a visit to Cape Vidal (35 km) is a must. Will definitely visit again.
Stay was very nice, and it feels very safe and peaceful. Will use accommodation again!
Stayed and slept well!
