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.

Everything was perfect :)

We had an amazing time at Kingfisher Lodge in Kosi Bay! The setting is peaceful and beautifully integrated with nature — perfect for a relaxing escape. The chalets are clean, spacious, and well-equipped, offering comfort while still giving you a sense of being close to the wild. The hosts were incredibly warm and accommodating, always ready to help with tips about local activities. There is a restaurant in the premises and the service throughout our stay was outstanding. A special highlight for our family was Voly (not sure if it’s spelled correctly), the lodge’s friendly dog, who became the perfect companion for our son during our stay — gentle, playful, and always nearby with a wagging tail. It really made the experience even more memorable. Whether you’re looking for adventure or just a quiet break surrounded by nature, Kingfisher Lodge is the place.

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.

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.

It was our first experience of a bush lodge. The accommodation was self-catering, very cosy, very quite and comfortable, and we loved it. Just do not forget to carry mosquito/ insect repellent. You can easily reach the Bush Lodge in a regular car with good ground clearance. A 4x4 is a must to visit the Kosy Bay mouth, the lake and other tourist attractions. I highly recommend this place.

An insect repellent or a UV insect catcher.

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.

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.

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!

We enjoyed the rooms with your own bathroom and kitchen. We loved the restaurants food and service.

a better shower as ours were broken and had to be replaced. Also the mattress was completely worn out, to sleep on a mattress like that for 7 nights called for some pain killers for the muscles.

Loved the onsite restaurant. The food was delicious every time. Service was excellent. Staff was very helpful. We had a bit of a problem with our shower and it was sorted in a timely manner. Will definitely return.

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.

Nothing.

There's nothing to complain about, it was an amazing getaway! The staff are very helpful and go out their way to make sure you have everything you need. The accommodation was great value for money. Would definitely stay there again!
