On the outskirts of the residential area of St Lucia, you’ll find Ingwenya Lodge, nestled in the heart of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The pool gives you the opportunity to take a dove, or just have a drink on the poolside after a long day. You can park for free at the lodge, and you’ll have free access to WiFi in all guest rooms. Located in South Africa’s third-largest protected area, this family-friendly, self-catering lodge offers access to the immensely diverse ecosystem of iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The property borders the nature reserve with a view of both the sea and the estuary, a very unique privilege in St Lucia.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.9 for a two-person trip.
