  "the staff was very friendly and helpful. We were nice and close to the permit office. The campsite was always clean and was not noisy. Could do with more dustbins and more taps. Beautiful part of the world"

  "The campsite is located in an ideal setting, close to Kosi Mouth and to the Ezemvelo reception desk.We had a lovely stay at the campsite and the staff are very friendly. The restaurant is quite pricey and they capitalize on the fact that the location is quite far away from town, so expect to pay quite a bit for drinks and ice at the resort."

  "You have thought of everything. We were very comfortable!"

• "The awesome nature and beaches."

  22 March 2017

  "Firstly we would like to thank Tanya and Ivan as well as the two youngsters for the awesome time we had .From our first day to our last day 14 days later was awesome. The food was good and well prepared and the pizza is a must have. We went on a turtle drive with Ivan and this was fantastic,I will recommend this to people visiting the Casitas aswel as the lake cruise. Kosi mouth must be visited aswel and the snorkeling is awesome. The water is clear and the white sand can be seen when walking through the water. The weather was awesome and please take enough sunscreen with. Casitas have a wonderfull pool to relax in and the bar and restaurant is next to it. We will definitely visit Casitas again before year end. I will recommend Kosi Bay Casitas to all my friends and family. Thanks you so much Ivan,Tanya, Aiden and Ashley for your friendly and awesome service,you guys are tops. God Bless."

• "Great place!"

  "The location of the lodge is very practical to go to Kosi Bay or Kosi Mouth (around 30min by car). The Casitas are well furnished (self catering) and cumfortable.<br/>The team is just PERFECT and makes you feel at home! We have been very well welcomed by every member and all their advices were very useful!! Thanks again!!<br/>The restaurant makes simple but very good food and is always available to answer to your requests.<br/>In addition to the Kosi Mouth snorkeling (just amazing!), we did the Turtle Walk activity: there were a lot of people - I think it was the busiest day!! - however, the organisation tried to make its best in order we enjoy as much as possible...which worked: an unforgettable moment to meet this loggerhead turtle on the beach under the stars!!"

• "Holiday"

  11 August 2016

  "It was basic and for our needs it was perfect, just<br/>a overnight accommodation on the way to Mozambique. The chalet had all the necessary utensils and equipment the only disappointment was we did not get much sleep because of mosquito. I would suggest some mosquito nets.<br/>Further the chalet was fine. The reed chalet also have a certain smell to it maybe some air freshener would assist with it.<br/>I forgot some of my stuff and was mailed to inform me."

• "Great location, great accomodation"

  17 July 2016

  "We spent 7 nights in the Casitas, 5 Camping and 2 in a chalet. Both experiences were superb. There is a great restaurant/pub on the property serving yummy food and cold drinks to the guests. It is a really great vibe where you can sit and play board games, chat and meet other travelers.<div><br /></div><div>We found the staff to be extremely professional and friendly and they offer an array of activities at reasonable prices from boat trips to fishing guides and more.<br /><div><br /></div><div>The Casitas is a real gem and we will definitely be back.</div></div>"

• "Basic, but pleasant"

  05 April 2016

  "This is quite basic accommodation, but comfortable, well equipped for few days stay. Rooms are comfortable, owners very friendly and helpful.<div>There is a bar and restaurant on site for those that don't feel like cooking.</div><div>Someone had a party when we were there and we were worried about noise, but it did not go for long - so seemingly owners have avaryones interest in minds and keep the place under control.<br /><div>We only stayed there one night en route to Mozambique, so could not really take advantage of place and the area.<div>For your own good, follow the directions you get from the lodge owners, not necessarily your GPS (our Garmin seemed to have gotten completely lost in this area trying to lead us repeateadly onto dirt tracks, despite perfectly good tar road...)</div><div><br /></div></div></div>"

  "<div>We had a wonderful stay at Casitas. Accommodation was rustic, which is what we were looking for. The unit was comfortable and cleaned daily. Lovely setting (sandy islandfeel...)with nice bird viewing and many activities offered.Owners were warm, friendly, and hospitable. Also nice restaurant available. Will definitely return!</div><div></div><div>Nishal <br /><br /></div>"

• "Great base for exploring"

  16 February 2015

  "We stayed in Kosi Bay Casitas for 1 night. The owners, Tanya and Ivan, we didn't get a chance to meet Ray, were incredibly helpful, relaxed and friendly. Tanya is a birder which created a connection from the get-go. Ivan unobtrusively supported and addressed all our requirements. Our impression was that Kosi Bay Casitas served as a great base to explore all activities in and around Kosi Bay for the budget conscious traveler. The area around the lodge is rural and we had to drive to get to the areas we were interested in visiting, i.e. Kosi Bay Mouth, Bhanga Nek, etc, however the owners were very willing to arrange excursions / permits, even using their 4x4 vehicle, which is a necessity, at short notice and at affordable rates. In summary, if you like rustic, this is a great base for exploring Kosi Bay and surrounds."

• "Good times had!"

  06 January 2015

  "Tanya, Ray and Ivan made our stay very welcoming. From the day we booked, Tanya kept us informed of what to expect in the area.They helped us organise our excursions even when last minute. They organised the following for us: boat ride to Banga Nek,transfer to Kosi Bay Mouth,turtle watching at Banga Nek,a guide to show us the 4x4 route from the Banga Nek all the way down to Sodwana (highly recommend this as we met a couple along the way who had been lost for 4 hours!)The lodges are basic but comfortable (there is also camping spots), the restaurant food simple but delicious (even catering for vegetarians!), the pool warm and inviting and the bar serving you a cold beer or two. Highly recommend if on a budget, and as it is not far from Kosi Bay Parks Board for your permits it's an ideal central point. And if you were like us, a little unprepared with the full self-catering, then this is the spot.Our family of 4 adults had a great time and did not want to leave..."
