The perfect base for a family to explore the Kosi Bay area. The kids loved playing in the garden and swimming in the pool! The bonus was seeing the resident Eagle-Owls!

Can’t beat value for money. Lovely pool for the kids. Very clean and wonderful touches like little flowers on the beds. Aircon worked a dream. Such a good spot to stay if you want an early start at Kosi Bay border. Food was good.

Nothing.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food was great. It's a comfortable place to stay, enough privacy, in nature, the pools and bar areas are awesome. Facilities are adequate and makes it very comfortable. We found the staff ready to always assist when seeking advice and enquiring about activities and places to visit.

We loved how well maintained and tranquil the property was. The two pools were also brilliant after a day on the beach. The air cons inside the units are a lifesaver! Annelize and Johan were a pleasure to deal with. We hope to be back soon!

Everything was perfect for us.

The serene settings, safety, and sleep in tented camps took us closer to nature. Restaurant meals were devine, swimming pools were clean and the staff was fantastic.

Amazing location on the lake - there were two trumpeter hornbills on our patio as we arrived!. The food was out of this world - I had fish and the rest of my family, hamburgers. I left my kindle and the lodge is couriering it back to me.

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.

So clean. Comfy and feel apart of nature. It's camping without the discomforts. Even the abusions are spotless and private.

We only stayed one night and could have spent longer

So peaceful and a beautiful setting. Would love to return and explore more of Kosi bay!

Kingfisher Lodge is on a slight hill and comprises some covered tents around a central sitting/restaurant area with a pool. There is a fully equipped kitchen for every tent, and the facilities are in a separate building but also allocated to each tent - so, in fact, private bathrooms but not ensuite. The hosts were amiable and helpful. There is the possibility of having dinner at the site in the restaurant or finding a different spot while exploring the area. The hosts provide information about activities, try to arrange things if necessary and provide help in all circumstances. We were in a tight spot as our car ran out of battery, and we got a jumpstart that made us fly again! Thank you very much for this again! It saved the day!

Not close to the main snorkelling beach (aquarium) or kayak tours but the only closer option is real camping so this is definitely worth the 30min drive! Nowhere to sit inside except the dining table benches but that didn't matter to use as we were out and about most of the time.

Tents are very comfortable, shower pressure is amazing, kitchen well equipped for braaing and basic self catering. Good pillows, comfy beds and nice touches like scatter cushions. Restaurant was a good place to sit and play board games on the day that it rained.

Drainage system in our unit needed some attention, otherwise great.

Very neat little safari tents, nice pool and a great location.

Only issue we had was that the bracket that holds the shower head, was broken. Otherwise, everything else was perfect.

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make sure you not only enjoy your stay with them, but in Kosibay. We left very early on our return trip, and they packed us the most amazing breakfast for the road.

Poor storage in the basic tent. Be prepared to share ablution and kitchen facilities when staying in basic tents. 1 mattress in our luxury tent was abit tired. Weather was cold, and the place is definitely designed around warm weather, will have to return in warmer weather. Will put family all together next time. We were split between luxury and basic due to availability, which was a pain.

Luxury tents comfortable the basic tents were basic. Great food at the restaurant. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. Loved the owls! We had a really enjoyable week stay, with so much to do around the area.

I booked the 2 bedroom tented chalet. It was very comfortable for my family of 4. The 2 en-suite bathrooms were convenient and clean. The chalet was well equipped with everything. The hosts were very welcoming, accommodating, and always available to assist us. Breakfast was delicious.

Very friendly manager. You can have food and drinks as well.

We loved it. Especially the hornbills waking us up !

Staff to wash dishes regularly would be great.. as we had to wash our dirty dishes for breakfast. Lighting could be improved.

We just spent one night on our way to Ponto do Ouro, was easy to find and a lovely tranquil setting. We stayed in the tents and even though communal ablutions we had our own one. We were on a B&B rate and the breakfast was definitely worth it. Also had our dinner from the resort which was lovely. We would definitely stay again and hopefully for an extra night or two

Stayed in June 2023

A bit of dust in the nooks and crannies, but we would return and stay longer in a heartbeat!

So quiet and restful! Very responsive staff ready to help with anything and everything. Lovely little restaurant with nice options made to order.
