The owners Sue and Phil provide a very warm welcome and homely atmosphere with spaciousbedroom and facilities. The excellent breakfasts are served on the veranda to the accompaniment of a spectacular array of bird and other wildlife, including the opportunity to handfeed a family of fork tailed dronga. Our hosts provided a great knowledge of their local surrounds and guidance on places to see and things to do. We wish that we could have stayed longer. maybe next time.

A family of four, we stayed at Kingfisher Country House for four nights. The rooms were spacious, immaculate and very nicely decorated. Breakfast is varied and delicious, and you can watch all kinds of birds. The hosts are very kind, and Sue a mine of information, which was very useful for us. We felt very much at home at this peaceful place!
The only slight drawback was the pool that did not look as welcoming as we thought it looked in the photos. This, however, is not a very important detail, since the beaches are wonderful in this area.

What a gem of a place!! The house is beautiful, the location idyllic and the hosts Sue and Phil are not only incredibly friendly but also always available to share their amazing knowledge of the area.
Where to start? As birdwatchers this is a dream place to stay, with a lot of patience and hard work Sue and Phil have attracted an amazing array of bird to the feeders next to the balcony and you can share your breakfast with intimate views of Knysna Turacos among others... birders should not consider staying anywhere else! Sue is also a mine of information on other top sites in the area which will help you see all the other special birds on offer.
The Kingfisher Country House itself is beautiful, with a lovely homely feel and our two nights here were not nearly long enough.
Sue and Phil provide a fine buffet breakfast which was one of the best during our South Africa holiday, and certainly taken in the best location.
Birders and non-birders alike, this is THE place to stay at Wilderness, don't miss it!

Our hosts Phil and Sue provided us with fantastic, hearty breakfasts and freshly baked muffins. What made our breakfast experience on the verandah so unique was that we were able to enjoy seeing wonderful birds only a few feet away. Sue has invested patience and dedication into feeding birds which have confided trust in her over the years. Knysna Loeries (absolutely stunning with flashes of red underwings showing) land close by to feed. Tiny colourful waxbills, bulbuls, canaries and weavers drop in regularly to enjoy the feast. Birders could get a breakfast list of 15+ species without needing to use binoculars!
This is an ideal location from which to enjoy many great birdwatching hot spots.
