With Kosi Bay Nature Reserve reachable in 1.8 km, Kingfisher Bush Lodge features accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace. Free WiFi is available.

Continental and Full English/Irish breakfast options are available each morning at the lodge.

The hosts were lovely and upgraded us to a luxury tented chalet which was very nice with comfortable beds and an ensuite kitchenette & bathroom. We booked with breakfast which was very good and had a wide selection of foods. There is also a restaurant which is open every night, however you need to let them know by 5pm if you want to eat (not necessary to pre order). There are two nice pools and lots of areas for relaxing both at the pool and around. There are generators in case of load shedding/power outages.

    We picked this lodge for its location to the Kosi Bay border crossing into Mozambique. We weren’t expecting much. But Wow - we wish we had booked to stay longer. Great self catering apartment with outside seating and BBQ. Lovely pool. Helpful staff. Fabulous food. The drive from the town down the sand track road was interesting - it is well signed posted but does feel like you are heading off into the unknown. We did not have a 4x4 and managed the drive easily - just take your time and drive carefully

    Kosi Forest Lodge is a magical and beautiful place to stay. The lodge is beautiful and the activities offered are amazing. The staff are all incredible and there wasn’t anything they didn’t do for us. Blessing and Thulani are amazing hosts. The food was outstanding. We were very well looked after. sundowners with Lindalani was a highlight. The hidden gem is Jerome, who took us canoeing, he is a wealth of information and it was simply the best morning we have had! We look forward to returning!
