Next to the St Lucia greenbelt, nature is on your doorstep. The most beautiful gardens, sparkling blue pools and cascading water features filled with koi. Heart warming and fesh breakfasts daily with honesty bar facilities on the premises. The guesthouse has a standby generator incase of storm outages in the Hluhluwe area (or general power failures). The gardener washed our car early mornings for a small fee and this came out of his own initiative, very welcomed.
Parking may be a bit tricky, especially if other guests are travelling in large 4x4 SUV's. But overall really secure and safe parking bays.

Wonderful staff. Great breakfast. Lovely room. Excellent location. Car cleaning a very welcome suprise. We highly recommend this guest house.
Our room #3 needed a deflection / sealing strip to the shower as water leaked onto the floor. Also, a little more grout to the tiles would be helpful as the tile edges are a little sharp underfoot. A trailing plug would also be handy as there is only one plug (and 2 USB's) this meant a lot of swapping of camera, phone, watch, etc. chargers.

The breakfast each day was a 10/10. Excellent. The Staff was very friendly, dedicated and always there to help even in the pouring rain. Staff definitely a 10/10. The room was clean and neat. The pool was clean and beautiful. The garden is beautiful. Pool and garden I will give a 10/10.
If they are fully booked the parking is a big problem. Especially if there is 2 bakkies that have to stop next to each other. There is also no space for a trailer or something like that..... but must say they quickly made a plan with our trailer. Always there to help and very friendly dedicated staff.

A little paradise with a beautifully maintained garden. The room was very nice however could have been a bit lager. The breakfast was very enjoyable and we were near the center but not necessarily by walking. Astonishing experience with the hippos walking around and grazing in the area. Very special. The national park was a short drive as well and the Elephant we saw was almost too close.
As mentioned the room could have been a bit larger. However we would return there anyway.

A lush little oasis. Best breakfast the whole trip especially the fruit bowl. Friendly efficient staff. Nice communal indoor and outdoor areas. Secure parking.
Most rooms are tucked away on the ground floor which I couldn't really tell from photos. Had got the impression the guesthouse was larger but not a problem in reality.

We had a wonderful stay at The Sandpiper from the time we arrived until our day of departure. We were welcomed by friendly and professional staff who were able to provide great advice for our visit to the wetlands. The breakfasts were outstanding with a variety of selections and options. The decor, ambience, friendliness and service from every staff member, was superb especially our hosts. Thank you. We will definitely be back.
No complaints at all.

Nice environment Fantastic atmosphere Staff and management were most friendly and really helpful They even washed my really dirty car Overall, it was a good experience. I highly recommend this place
Room smelled a little moist, shower showed signs of fungi against the ceiling. Cleaning crew forgot to lock the door, left the key on the door ourside and the window of the terrace open...fortunately they have a really reliable Staff and also guests at our moment of stay so nothing seems to be missing (yet 😅)

We really liked this guesthouse and stayed for two nights. We booked the larger room and had a small patio. The gardens are very green, there is an honesty bar and the breakfast is really good. There are multiple pools and everyone is very friendly. For us, this was the perfect spot to explore the area (eg we did a hippo tour and a midnight safari). Plenty of nice restaurants in the area.

The buffet breakfast was amazing, the room was clean and had adequate facilities. The staff was beyond amazing, Noxolo stayed behind as I checked in late and continuously checked on me. Promise was an angel, very helpful even with directions to attractions, and she ensured I enjoyed my breakfast. Oh, ndingabala ndithini na, the whole staff was amazing, the gentleman even washed my car twice, I was stunned. Overall great stay!!!!
