It was a good stay. Ken and Trish are warm, friendly, and welcoming.

Our opinion is for the bathroom to be brightened up. Maybe paint it white or use light tiles. Other than that, it is a perfect breakaway destination.

A wonderful, peaceful little gem and home from home!

We had an amazing stay in this very neat and clean, beautifully decorated quaint cottage with absolutely everything we needed and more, even braai wood, mosquito repellent, and backup for load shedding. We loved the sea views and waking up to the sound of the waves. The hosts are the best! Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

Hoogs aan te beveel.

Trish en Ken is ongelooflike gashere! Hulle het aan absoluut alles gedink, van melk in die yskas tot 'n pleister. En die beste, dit het nie eers 'n arm en been gekos nie.

Highly recommend.

Trish and Ken are amazing hosts! They thought of absolutely everything, from milk in the fridge to a plaster. And best of all, it didn't even cost an arm and a leg.

Ongelooflike wegbreek.

Nie net het Trish ons laat tuis voel nie, sy het ook die ekstra myl gegaan met haar gasvryheid, deur enige vrae te beantwoord en met die wasgoed te help. PS. Dankie vir die ander bederfies wat jy vir ons gelos het en natuurlik die wonderlike woonstel, 'n huis weg van jou eie tuiste.

Amazing getaway.

Not only did Trish make us feel at home, she also went the extra mile with her hospitality, answering any questions and helping with the laundry. P.S. Thank you for the other treats you left for us and of course the wonderful apartment, a home away from home.

Ons het heerlik ontspan in 'n stil en privaat atmosfeer. Trish en Ken se gasvryheid is van topgehalte.

Kingfisher Cottage is sentraal geleë in 'n baie stil en veilige omgewing. Dit is binne loopafstand van die winkels asook die Umkomaas golfklub. Gereelde besoekers aan die tuin was die bruinkop visvanger, tiptolle, duiwe, mossies, suikerbekkies en bloukuifloerie, om maar net 'n paar te noem. Dit was baie lekker om met die gedreun van die branders in ons ore wakker te word, asook mooi uitsig op die see te geniet. Ons het heerlik gekuier en beveel die fasiliteit enige tyd aan enige persone wat in 'n stil, veilige en privaat omgewing wil afpak en behoorlik rus.

We had a wonderful time relaxing in a quiet and private atmosphere. Trish and Ken's hospitality is top notch.

Kingfisher Cottage is centrally located in a very quiet and safe area. It is within walking distance of the shops as well as the Umkomaas golf club. Frequent visitors to the garden were the brown-headed kingfisher, tippets, pigeons, sparrows, sugarbills and blue-crested loons, to name but a few. It was very nice to wake up with the roar of the waves in our ears, as well as enjoying a beautiful view of the sea. We had a great time and recommend the facility anytime to anyone who wants to unwind and rest properly in a quiet, safe and private environment.

Trendy, comfortable and quiet.

We stayed one night in the beautiful cottage. Trish was friendly and accommodating. The cottage was clean and well equipped. We would have loved to have stayed longer to watch the whales. There was a feeding station for birds of prey, which was pretty amazing watching the kites come down to feed. I will definitely return to spend a peaceful weekend away there.

Comfortable stay in a secluded, spotlessly-clean and well-equipped flatlet in a quiet area close to the sea.

Kingfisher Cottage was ideal for us to relax and enjoy a nice change of scenery from the city after many months of lockdown. We appreciated its private entrance, lockable garage and enclosed garden as well as the sounds and view of the sea. Our hostess, Trish, welcomed us warmly and was kind and considerate throughout. Her choice of unique decor, personal touches and attention to detail give it character and a lovely, homely feel. We highly recommend this great place to stay.

Baie lekker plek om net weg te breek en af te skakel.

Baie oulike netjiese plek. Baie goed ingerig met alles wat jy nodig het. Dis skoon, ruim en jou perfekte home away from home-plekkie. Dit is in 'n stil area en baie veilig. Trish is 'n baie goeie gasvrou wat uit haar pad uit gaan om jou verblyf so gemaklik moontlik te maak. Ons sal vir seker die plek vir ander mense aanbeveel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Kingfisher cottage is located in a lovely setting; the garden and safe parking as well as the outside braai area and the cottage itself made us feel relaxed. The beach is within walking distance and easily accessible. Trish is a wonderful hostess and very thoughtful. We highly recommend the accommodation for a short or longer stay. We enjoyed the break!

Kingfisher Cottage is absoluut die moeite werd as jy netheid en gemak waardeer en kan respekteer.

Kingfisher Cottage is bitter netjies, decor is presies soos op foto's, eienaar is baie tegemoetkomend. Dit is rustig, dit is veilig en ek sal maklik 'n hele Desembervakansie inboek.
