Not a hotel, just a lovely small place with three accommodations, one two bedroom villa in it's own garden with a plunge pool and two smaller villas, bedroom, kitchen area and outdoor space sharing a lovely small swimming pool. We had the villa for two people. Fully equipped to self cater if you wish, full cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, utensils and dishes. No restaurant so we made easy breakfasts and ate out at night. The units are immaculate, ceramic tiled floor, great shower room, plastered walls. Secured mosquito net windows let in cool breezes at night so no a/c. Right on the beach which is 5km long, great walking and sights, thoroughly recommend. But, A meal to be made by one of the staff, Ivor, a lift to a supermarket possible or a boat trip to the islands with him. Were these provided services for some, obviously paid for for others or just for tips? How much? Because the meal attempt with us was a hard sell overpriced attempt. It would be nice to have more information about these things when checking in. A page on recommended restaurants and some taxi numbers was all that was in the room.

“Lovely stay, we felt safe and well taken care of.”

Linda is a wonderful host. The villa we stayed in is well equipped and the staff is friendly. The kids loved the coconut drinks the staff made for us, the pool is lovely and refreshing. There are some power issues in the area, but they do have backup power to minimise any disruptions. The locals are very friendly, we felt welcome and safe. We were picked up at the airport, then went to Spar (which is modern, clean and very well stocked) to buy groceries and Linda took us to a smaller shop later during our stay to ensure we could stock up on anything we needed. We did a lovely trip to a nearby island with Sailaway, which Linda helped organise for us. Would definitely recommend for a relaxed family stay.

We had a delightful visit to Luke’s place! Linda was a lovely host and made our visit wonderful. She picked us up from the airport and was more than happy to schedule activities for us through her extensive network in vilankulos. She also was very dedicated to ensuring our safety during the recent political instability. The only had two minor issues during our stay. Due to very hot weather, the ac in the villa had trouble keeping up, so it was often quite warm at night. Additionally, there are some ants by the pack porch and pool that bite, so be mindful of them. That said, we’d recommend her villa and hospitality to anyone.

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.
