Rooms & Amenities

Kosi Bay Lodge offers chalets and deluxe king rooms in a coastal forest. Each unit has air conditioning, a coffee station, microwave, TV, and a spacious shower. Some chalets include a kitchenette with microwave and toaster, while others have a private swimming pool. Rooms are clean and modern, with views of the surrounding bush.

Dining Options

The onsite restaurant serves hearty meals, including fresh seafood, chicken strips, cheesecake, and a daily buffet breakfast. The bar offers a variety of cocktails, wines, and local R&R slushies. Packed lunches are available, and the kitchen can prepare special diet menus upon request.

Activities & Facilities

Guests can swim in one of two outdoor pools, relax on the sun terrace, or use the BBQ area with outdoor fireplace. Lodge staff organize guided boat trips on Kosi Bay lakes, hiking, canoeing, snorkelling, and turtle tours. Live sport events are shown in the shared lounge. The property also has a revolving restaurant with panoramic views, still under construction.

Location & Access

The lodge is a 6-minute walk from Kosi Lake, 13 km from Manguzi Forest Reserve, and 16 km from the Kosi Bay border post to Mozambique. Ndumo Game Reserve is 76 km away. The sandy access road requires a 4x4 or high-clearance vehicle. King Shaka International Airport is 391 km from the property.

Guest Services

Staff provide daily housekeeping, laundry, and packed lunches. A safety deposit box is available at reception, and fax/photocopying can be arranged. The shared lounge has a TV. Guided tours and activity bookings are managed by local guides like Alex and Shannon, who are knowledgeable about the area.

“I found the staff here to be exceptionally friendly and accommodating, readily assisting with a booking mix-up and later arranging a truly special private dinner in the wine cellar for an anniversary. The modern, clean units are comfortable, and the availability of an outdoor kitchen near the pool is a practical touch for families. It's clear the owners are investing in the property, with the addition of a revolving restaurant offering remarkable 360-degree views being a particular highlight in this remote setting.”
