Lidiko Lodge St. Lucia

Lidiko Lodge is a family-owned, intimate 4-star retreat nestled in the heart of St Lucia, Zululand, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Set beside the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, our lodge offers a peaceful escape surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty.

Perched atop a coastal dune overlooking the Great St Lucia Lake, Lidiko Lodge features 16 well-appointed garden lodges, all available on a bed-and-breakfast basis. Our lush, park-like gardens and inviting outdoor lounge provide the perfect setting for birdwatching, meaningful conversations, or simply unwinding in serenity. Guests can take a refreshing dip in the pool or soak up the sun on the surrounding loungers, embracing the relaxed rhythm of nature.

The main building of Lidiko Lodge is one of the oldest structures in St Lucia, exuding the charm of Old World Zululand with its distinctive thatched roof. At its heart lies a beautifully decorated guest lounge, adorned with a thoughtfully curated collection of artworks by renowned South African artists. These pieces not only celebrate the region’s rich heritage and natural beauty but also showcase the country’s diverse artistic talent. A cozy reading nook within the lounge invites guests to relax with a book after a day of exploration.

The dining deck overlooks lush gardens alive with birdlife, playful monkeys, and curious mongooses, offering a truly immersive natural experience. From here, guests enjoy easy access to the tropical pool area and their rooms.

Ideally situated in the heart of St Lucia, Lidiko Lodge is just a short five-minute stroll from an array of restaurants, craft markets, walking trails, and key attractions. It serves as the perfect base for discovering the breathtaking wetlands, Big Five game parks, and unspoiled beaches of the region. The lodge also offers a safe and scenic retreat for joggers, cyclists, and walkers. Uniquely, St Lucia is the only village where hippos can be spotted roaming the streets at night, providing guests with an unforgettable wildlife encounter right at their doorstep.

Guest Reviews

  • Excellent service and friendly staff

    We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Topical garden with pool and deckchairs, Very good sleeping quality in lovely units, and great breakfast. We got a cooling box and beach towels for our day out at Cape Vidal which we very much appreciated.

  • Service and staff were top-notch

    Everything was amazing!! The room was great, spacious, and clean. A wonderful bathroom with a nice hot shower and a big sink counter. Service and staff were top-notch. Everyone was so nice and they left me hanging out in the lounge after I checked out while waiting for my friend to arrive.
