iGwalagwala Guesthouse

There is only one access point to St Lucia town over the estuary bridge, making this a safe, insular destination for nature lovers and those wanting a little peace.  Over the years, the authorities have ensured that all developments have a low impact on the natural surroundings.

The Tait family is very nature-conscious and enjoy the fact that wild animals share their garden – even if it is a troop of vervet monkeys that steal fruit!  Sometimes hippos even block the road late at night.  iGwalagwala (which is the Zulu name for the purple crested loerie – now called the purple crested tauraco) Guesthouse offers a comfortable stay in the heart of St Lucia and has wonderful nature surrounds.  iGwalagwala has a warm and friendly atmosphere with personal service guaranteed.
