Nice rooms, good food, very friendly owners. Loved it! They were very helpful in giving us info on the area and let us stay until 1:00pm the next day so we could shower before our flight back to the US.

Gisela and Peter are lovely hosts. We spent 4 nights here and could have stayed longer. There is so much to do in the surrounding area and... More

We stayed three nights at Maputaland. Gisela and Peter welcomed us warmely and informed us about the surroundings and activities and helped us with booking tours (a boat tour and a guided tour in iSimangaliso Wetland Park). They are very nice and helpful people. The guest house itself did not feel very well-cared and clean comparing to our previous stays... More

My wife and I spent 3 nights 5/28 - 31 at this guest house. Gisela and Peter did an outstanding job of making our first experience in SA be one of the most memorable. The guest suites are located on a wing of the house and have external doors fronted by a covered walkway. On our first night, Peter organized... More

We booked our holiday on recommendation from a previous visitor. What a great place Maputaland Guest House turned out to be. Before we left home, we had been emailing Gisela and Peter (Our Hosts) to ask the many questions that we had about our holiday. They answered all of them and said don't worry ask as many as you like.... More

We stayed at Maputaland Guest House for 2 nights as part of a 3 week tour of eastern South Africa with our 7 yo son. St Lucia is a lovely place and one of the highlights of our trip.
