Best holiday at the most unspoilt place in South Africa. We already feel like family when we visit Kingfisher. Our first visit to them was our first in Kosi Bay and we came across their name quite by chance. They had just completed their lodge and started marketing it. What a pleasant surprise it was to see the place for the first time. A hidden gem. We have gotten to know so many of their staff over the years. The restaurant is nice and we always have a great meal there. The staff are always friendly and helpful and we enjoy every moment there on our annual, or sometimes even twice a year getaway. Thank you all so much for an unforgettable time every time we come there. Will always recommend you to everyone if we can. See you again for sure!

Beste vakansie by die mees ongeruimde plekkie in Suid-Afrika. Ons voel al soos familie wanneer ons Kingfisher besoek. Ons eerste besoek aan hulle was ons eerste aan Kosibaai en ons het heel toevallig op hulle naam afgekom. Hulle het pas hulle lodge voltooi en begin bemark. Wat 'n aangename verrassing was dit nie om die plekkie vir die eerste keer te kon sien nie. 'n Weggesteekte juweel. Ons het al soveel van hulle personeel leer ken oor die jare. Die restaurant is lekker en ons eet altyd baie lekker daar. Die personeel is altyd vriendelik en behulpsaam en ons geniet elke oomblik daar op ons jaarlikse, of soms selfs twee keer 'n jaar se wegbreek. Baie dankie aan julle almal vir 'n onvergeetlike tyd elke keer wat ons daar kom. Sal julle altyd vir almal aanbeveel as ons kan. Sien julle definitief weer!

It goes like this. Schöne Lage am Feuchtgebiet allerdings Froschkonzert at night. Air conditioning yes but am falschen Ort, Küche kühl-schlafbereich nicht, the Ventilator brings nothing. An arranged tour to blackrock didn't work out. Anfahrt mit normalem PKW schwierig. Wifi very weak. translation: English: So-so. Nice location by the wetland, but frog concert at night. Air conditioning yes, but in the wrong place; kitchen cool — sleeping area not, and the fan does nothing. A scheduled tour to Black Rock did not work out. Access with a normal car is difficult. WiFi very weak. African: So-so. Nice location next to the wetland, but a frog concert at night. Air conditioning yes, but in the wrong place; kitchen cool — sleeping area not, and the fan does nothing. A scheduled tour to Black Rock did not work out. Access with an ordinary car difficult. WiFi very weak.

Geht so. Schöne Lage am Feuchtgebiet allerdings Froschkonzert nachts. Klimaanlage ja aber am falschen Ort, Küche kühl-schlafbereich nicht, der Ventilator bringt nix. Eine verabredete tour zum blackrock hat nicht geklappt. Anfahrt mit normalem PKW schwierig. Wifi sehr schwach. Translation: English: So-so. Nice location by the wetland, but frog concert at night. Air conditioning yes, but in the wrong place; kitchen cool — sleeping area not, and the fan does nothing. A scheduled tour to Black Rock did not work out. Access with a normal car is difficult. WiFi very weak. Afrikaans: So-so. Mooi ligging langs die vleiland, maar nagteliks ’n kikkerskonsert. Lugversorging ja, maar op die verkeerde plek; kombuis koel — slaaparea nie, en die waaier bring niks. ’n Geskeduleerde toer na Black Rock het nie uitgewerk nie. Toegang met ’n gewone motor moeilik. WiFi baie swak.
