Description

Zulani Guest House B&B, the perfect spot for a magical escape, a retreat for the active, or just for simple feet-up relaxation. The intention has been to create a home away from home environment that is relaxing and stylish, with a very personal feel. A place where you are just as comfortable and content as if you were home. The owners, Gary & June, reside in an adjoining cottage, and are on hand to provide the "personal hospitality" which sets Zulani Guest House apart from larger establishments.

Accommodation is in four individually set air-condition, en-suite rooms, and for the romantic we offer an exclusive Honeymoon suite with a Jacuzzi bath to enjoy those unforgettable moments. The suites, all leading onto the pool area, are tastefully decorated, en-suite, air-conditioned, with king size beds, tea / coffee facilities and hairdryers available. The ideal choice for small intimate groups.

Early morning birding, up close to humpback whales after breakfast, face-to-face with hippos and crocodiles after lunch. That s the Zulani St Lucia experience, one of the most diverse and exciting Safari destinations in Africa. Many visitors use Zulani as their hub because of its close proximity to all the major attractions in this Zululand area.
