Lake St Lucia Lodge is within walking distance to nearby restaurants, shops and pubs on the main street of the village of St. Lucia. You could walk to the closest restaurant and pub in less than 1 minute. The village of St. Lucia is considered a safe haven for tourists and villagers alike to walk in the well lit streets at night, the only problem being the presence of Hippo and Leopard that roam the designated open park areas (sometimes the streets) not earmarked for development. These park areas are unlit and left as natural habitats for these and other wildlife found in the Park for access to a sustainable Eco-system (leopard hunt monkeys and small antelope). St. Lucia village in South Africa is a haven for serious fishermen and who better to advise you than the owner of Lake St. Lucia Lodge Andre von Plaster known locally as the surf and rock fishing expert. Andre invites all interested guests to share some of his angling tips when staying in their garden cottages on the shores of St. Lucia. His fishing reports in the St. Lucia area are regularly broadcast via East Coast Radio. Some of the largest fishing supply stores in the country regularly ask for his fishing updates. Whether it is Shad, Winter Game Fish, general rock and surf fishing, deep sea fishing or venturing amongst the Hippos and Crocodiles in Lake St. Lucia for that prized catch - Andre is the resident expert with picture proof that his fishing prowess is "not the big one that got away".

The park is famous for its birdlife. Birdlife is prolific and includes flamingos, pelicans, herons, terns, ducks, geese and storks - as well as many other rare and spectacular species. Swimming in the lake is prohibited due to the presence of crocodile however, you can dive on coral reefs, walk for miles on golden beaches, explore great dunes, wander through magical coastal forests, or roam across grassy plains. Try your hand at canoeing while enjoying a wilderness trail, and if snorkeling, angling or boating take your fancy, this is the place to indulge yourself.
