I thoroughly enjoyed my stay


- the staff were friendly and helpful and I felt very comfortable as a solo traveller and I felt very safe. I had easy access to my room from my car parked on the premises.

Wish we had longer to stay, but we'll be back!


Lidiko Lodge is a perfect place to stay, restful, quiet, tranquil, a lodge that has an almost bygone era feel about it. Friendly owners and staff, beautiful gardens and rooms and a sumptuous buffet breakfast every day, plus delicious luncheons and afternoon teas, what more does a person want! Plus there's the added bonus of the stunning St Lucia Wetlands and the nearby game reserves. Needless to say we had a wonderful time and will be back again very soon. I can highly recommend Lidiko ... more

Wonderful accommodation


We spent three nights at Lidiko Lodge and wish that we could have stayed longer. The rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished. They are well equipped with good beds, showers and baths. We enjoyed a great breakfast each day in view of the lovely gardens The owners, Dirk and Lyzette were very welcoming and most helpful in suggesting and arranging excursions.
