Most relaxing stay! This was the best, most relaxing stay ever. The staff are all friendly, and they go above and beyond for their customers. Kosi Bay Mouth is a must-see; we couldn't go on the three-lake tour because of the weather, but we will do that next time, as we will go back.

Hi Elmien, many thanks for the great review. We are so happy you relaxed and enjoyed your stay! We do try hard to make sure all our guests are comfortable. Let's hope the weather is better next time for a boat trip, which is another must-do activity in the area. Kind regards, Casitas Team.

Hi Kelley Your review means a lot to us, as you had a 10-day stay here at Casitas. Thank you for the great ratings! You really did explore the area and had great sightings, especially of a leatherback turtle! December is a very busy time, and the communication networks here don't have sufficient bandwidth. We are busy with a solution and hope to improve this in 2026. Kind regards, Johdi and the Casitas Team.

Nice! We loved the Casitas! Everybody went out of their way to make sure our stay was just great and we all loved it. So much that we immediately booked another night a few days later as it was on our way back to Gauteng! The staff were helpful, accommodating, friendly and they made us feel so welcome. And the food at the restaurant was great. Thank you Kosi Bay Casitas!

Unbeatable experience. I consider my time at Kosi Bay Casitas to be one of my best holidays in the past 20 years. The setting, the people, the service and the experience were unbeatable. My only regret is that I didn't discover this corner of South Africa sooner and am already planning my next excursion there. To Ray and the entire team, I say thank you for an excellent time.

Onverbeterlike ervaring. Ek beskou my tyd by Kosi Bay Casitas as een van my beste vakansies die afgelope 20 jaar. Die omgewing, die mense, die diens en die ervaring was onverbeterlik. Ek is net spyt ek het die hoekie van Suid-Afrika nie vroeër ontdek nie en beplan reeds my volgende ekskursie soontoe. Vir Ray en die hele span sê ek dankie vir 'n uitstekende tyd.

Hi Steve, many thanks for your review. Sorry that the weather was not great during your stay. Guided birding and boat trips on the lakes are the best way to see birds in our area. We are in the process of trying to get WiFi to the chalets, but the signal is limited due to us living in a rural area. Kind regards, Johdi

Just what you need to get away from the city. Very nice. Very nice stay. The unit is well equipped and tidy. The staff are friendly and very helpful. We also did the boat ride and really enjoyed it.

Net wat jy nodig het om weg te kom van die stad. Baie lekker. Baie lekker gebly. Die eenheid is goed toegerus en netjies. Die personeel is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Ons het ook met die bootrit gedoen en dit baie geniet.
