Luke's Place

My wife and I decided to stay at Luke's Place after reading some of the reviews on TripAdvisor, and we could not be happier about our choice. Linda and Luis were excellent hosts. Linda was very accommodating. She made the arrangements for the trips to the islands that we so much enjoyed and recommend, something not to be missed. The staff was equally very attentive and tended to all of our needs. Dito climbed up a coconut tree adjacent to our room and drop two coconuts of which we ate the soft pulp and drank the most refreshing water. The rooms have everything one needs and right on the beach. The nearest restaurant Baobab, is a pleasurable walk away via the beach, even when the tide is high. When time came to say goodbye, Linda drove us to the airport. We can only thank them all for a very pleasant stay.

Linda not only collected us from our previous lodgings and delivered us to the airport but also stopped at the shops so that we could buy groceries; she ordered food when required and put us in touch with her fresh fish supplier so we knew that we could trust the quality and price. We were able to indulge our desire to feast on seafood, coconuts from her trees, and relax in her lush private garden. With only two cottages sharing a pool, we had it to ourselves most of the time. The leisure furniture was comfortable - a most necessary asset for a holiday near the sea. Although the kitchen surrounded the bed, it did not intrude or reduce the comfort. The bed linen is both pretty and comfortable, suited to the climate. Linda's staff were equally friendly and obliging, without expecting a reward. This made for a most relaxing stay. To top it all the daily rate is most affordable! The wifi connection was weak (a local problem) and there was some noise from passers-by, but that would not put us off from repeat visits every time we travel to Vilanculos.
