About Serene-Estate Guesthouse

The synthesis of architecture, landscape, nature and specific lay-out is decisive for the distinctive atmosphere and experience. Located at the best place in ‘hippo-town' St Luciaall surrounded by nature of World Heritage Site iSimangalisoWetlands Park. The small town is the only place where you can meet hippos in the streets at night. St Lucia with a lot of facilities is a real tourism destination and a perfect gateway to a wide variety of activities as well.

The Dutch design is a mixture of minimalistic architecture and New Forms with the characteristic bent lines. For the warmth of African atmosphere we have used bright colours and lighting effects.

The lay out is clear: from the central entrance / reception with staircases you have access to the 6 rooms, lounge, breakfast room / big terrace with roof garden and pond and back garden with pool / park. You can experience the adjacent park from different levels.

After sunset you can hear the loud call of the bush baby and hippos can be spotted from a short distance. The nature in KwaZulu Natal is very diverse and colourful. We have tried to bring this atmosphere into the rooms. Each room has its own coloured accent.
