9 guests' feedbackI highly recommend this place. It is right outside the park and you can walk in easily. The service and facilities are top-notch. Campsites are big and shady. And Bob, the cat, is wonderful! Miss him already.
It's a beautiful world and the Utshwayelo Lodge's location, hospitality, service, cleanliness and atmosphere were excellent.
Absolutely fantastic, lodge staff very friendly and helpful. Accomodation between campsites and tented camps very nice. Location also perfect between boating, snorkel or town, activities. Will definitely be back or recommend people to visit.
We had an amazing stay in Kosi Bay. The campsite was really private and the ablutions were always clean. The staff were very helpful and always friendly. The surrounding area is amazing and there is plenty to do. Would definitely recommend snorkeling in the mouth. A big thumbs up!
The beauty and the space and the choice of sitting, sleeping, reading, snorkeling, bird watching, photography, exploring, 4x4, fishing or whatever, your options are there. You can camp in a beautiful lodge with beautiful shade trees, or stay in a luxury tent or chalet. A lovely pool and honesty bar where you can catch up on what's going on at home. It was a wonderful getaway for us. We go again.
Would recommend Utshwayelo anytime. It is near the entrance to the sea and mouth. They offer activities and there is a swimming pool for the children. The personnel were very friendly and helpful. The ablution was clean and tidy. If we go camping there again we want to stand on site 5, 16 or 17.
We were surprised at what the nearest village Manguzi has to offer in terms of shopping for necessities. The campsite was very private and everything was well organized. The staff are friendly and helpful. Will go again in the future.
Enjoyed the campsite and the fact that it was so close to Kosi Mouth the surrounding area was a bit noisy otherwise I thought it very nice and will be returning to catch those kingfish I missed.
Utshwayelo is a great place. Great customer service, clean and neat accommodation. The single central kitchen is a bit off-putting for those who like to cook in private and be within their own privacy. I suggest that the Tusker units should have a basic kitchen, even enough just to make sandwiches or have breakfast cereal. The units don't even have a knife, bowl or a plate. Next time, we will bring all our own kitchen amenities. Nevertheless, we will be back for sure.
