"Our stay was wonderful. We just did not like the two single beds in the room. If the rooms can have double beds would be nice. "

"The apartment block is easily accessible from the main road. The unit is well maintained, clean and has all the requirements for a self-catering holiday, including a braai (barbecue) area.

The daily entertainment with the traditional dancing was a bonus and the convenience of booking tours and activities.

I would definitely return."

"Beautiful Place"

However, the fact that WiFi is only available at the reception doesn't make sense to me, they gave us a WiFi password but there was no WiFI in the room, also the water wasn't hot at all, we didn't mind that too much as we were there for a few days on a chilled vacation but some people might mind.

"We were pleased with the warm reception and welcome, we received from your front desk staff.

The unit was Standard, Clean and tidy. Parking was a bit tight.

We were booked in La Dolce Vita, only used Shonalanga to sleep our extra family members.

We were treated with love and compassion by the staff there, only check -out at 12.30pm.

We apologise for two of our family members for only coming back from the Beach at 11.30am on Monday to check out.

The female Manager was extremely rude with my family members and had scolded them.

She said to my family that, she tried calling me, My cell was with me, all the time and I did not receive a call, as I would had come and checked them out.

We will not be booking or staying at Shonalanga resort again.

Sorry!

Delz Govender"

"We are really impressed by Shonalanga. We had a really lovely stay and were very happy about the way the flat was kept so clean and comfortable. The facilities were great and we would definitely come back there again. The only thing that I would say was a bit of annoyance which is not even Shonalanga's problem was the noise at night from the pub across the road but we do understand that people were just enjoying their own holiday and that is what makes the stay at Shonalanga so festive. It was truly a memorable stay. Thanks again for accommodating us."

"Shonalanga is quite a nice place to stay. Situated in the main street, very close to restaurants and shops but located in such a way that you can still relax in serenity. The self-catering apartments can accommodate families for long stays or even couples or individuals requiring overnight lodging.
Adele and her staff are extremely friendly and accommodating to ensure holidaymakers have a great time whilst visiting the estuary. A clean and fully fitted apartment with double ablution amenities awaits you upon arrival. Ample parking for vehicles and trailers.
The barbeque (or better known in South Africa as braai ;) area which is central to the apartments is a good place to make friends and learn from other visitors about their countries and tell them more about ours. Sufficient seating and picnic tables are provided without infringing on anyone’s privacy adjacent to the daily serviced fire places.
The sparkling pool was another plus point when we returned from the beach – we enjoyed a refreshing dip before having sun downer drinks on the loungers.
Although you feel at home in the apartments, you know you are also close to nature when hearing all the beautiful bird calls in the morning, seeing vervet monkeys in the trees around you and watching banded mongoose playing in the garden of Shonalanga, and the occasional wandering by of a hippopotamus late evening in the main street. What a nice experience!
Thank you Adele, we'll surely return!

"I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Shonalanga Holiday Apartments with a friend (56 years old) that have not been at the ocean for the past 25 years and was a bit concerned to book a place over the internet.
To my surprise the accommodation was superb, clean, neat and the service very professional.
With the smiles and friendliness of Wendy, Adele and Goodness we had a wonderful weekend and promised them that we will be back. If it ever happens that I go to St Lucia again, I will not even look at any other accommodation. During our stay we met a lot of overseas youngsters on tour and it made us proud to share such neat accommodation and efficient staff, fellow South Africans with visitors from overseas.
Shonalanga Holiday Apartments is spacious, based very central in town and makes visiting the places of interest within walking distance.
We can definitely recommend Shonalanga Holiday Apartments.
Special thanks to the staff of Shonalanga Holiday Apartments.

"What a beautiful place! Although we only stayed over for one night, the room
we stayed in for the night is amazing, everything you need is there.

The staff member that stayed at reception till 10pm really went out of her way by phoning us when we passed Pongola to enquire our whereabouts and explaining still how long we will travel and assured us that she will wait for us until we reached Shonalanga Holiday Apartments and she did. Upon arrival, we were met by this friendly lady when she took us to the apartment and explained everything to us!

I will definitely recommend Shonalanga Holiday apartments should anyone enquire about a place to stay, whether only for one night or for a holiday."

Internet would have been nice and it was occasionally noisy since the apartments are right off the parking lot. Would definitely stay there again. "

It was very refreshing to take a swim on those hot days, but it would have been better if the pool was a little cleaner.

In the summer months it would be lovely to have an aircon in the rooms."

You’ve got the shops and restaurant and pubs and many more stores that are within walking distance. Darlene was very helpful towards us. The rooms are very spacious and luxurious and the best part is that it’s close to all activities in and around the area. The rooms are fully equipped with all the necessities. All activities are also done by Shonalanga so you don’t have to be running around to get things done. The day to day cleanup of the apartments is also a good thing and the staff is friendly. I would recommend Shonalanga to all my friends, thanks for a beautiful stay."
