The room setting is beautiful 🤩
The security is perfect, staff response time is excellent
It felt like a city on a farm, it’s absolutely perfect.. The best self catering place I have ever been at!!❤️the homeware is 🔥
Very clean , perfect home away from home
Im definitely coming back to Kingfisher🥰!!!!!
Breakfast, Had over expected a full english breakfast 😂 with eggs and bacon but the continental breakfast did all the magic
The water is a bit salty, advisable for one to bring a bottle of stil water for drinking
My room was too close to the wheelbarrow spot so the movement was a little too much and uncomfortable

I generally love nature,so just being able to immerse myself in it so close to the city was an absolutely amazing experience!
I wouldn’t say it was a dislike, but it is a pity that the water levels were so low due to the lack of rain so we couldn’t get the full Waterside Cottage experience.

Lovely place!
Neighboring dogs barking and cow bells at night, but that out of their control.

The serenity of the place and cleanliness. It was also quite clean. The security is amazing.
Would have preferred to have more breakfast options besides just cereal. Some eggs and bacon to cook for ourselves for instance.

The unit was beautifully styled. The kitchen and bathroom were very up to date. There was a lovely view. It was all very clean. We would have loved to stay longer and will certainly visit again if in the area.
We noticed that the fridge door was scrapping on the floor when opened. It wasn't a problem for us but it might be a problem for our hosts.

We stayed in the Kingfisher Villa and it was stylish and had everything we could possibly need. We loved the bread that was provided for breakfast. The rest of the breakfast was also perfect. We regretted that it was winter and we couldn't try out the plunge pool. We enjoyed our overnight stay so much that we stayed at Waterside Cottages again on our return trip in Nguni Cottage and enjoyed it as much as the Kingfisher Villa.
There was nothing we didn't like. We have only given our hosts a good instead of an excellent because we didn't meet them but Cilla was very helpful and friendly when I contacted her.

Everything about the Villa is exceptional. Location, the property is so clean and beautiful inside..minimal finishings that look stunning and give off a cosy feeling.
The views and nature surroundings are absolutely breathtaking!

The area on its own, its a perfect spot for relaxation an peaceful.
The sounds of the birds and water makes it even better
Garden is excellent for children to have a lil play around
At the picnic spot, i think just on the water edges if you could make a standing spot, where your visitors can stand and take pictures of water and the birds. that will make it a great fill..

I recently had the pleasure of being one of the first people to stay at the new Acacia Villa at Waterside Cottages, and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience.
First and foremost, the location of the property was perfect for a quick getaway from the city. Despite its proximity to the city, we felt like we were miles away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by nature and stunning views.
The interior design of the villa was outstanding, and every detail was carefully thought out to ensure functionality and meet all our needs. The fully equipped kitchen was out of this world, making it easy and enjoyable to cook meals during our stay. The bedroom and bathroom were also well thought out, with the shower opening into the pool, adding to the overall luxurious experience.
One of the highlights of our stay was the plunge pool, which was the perfect spot for a quick dip to cool off during the hot afternoons. We also loved the amazing barbecue area, which was just by the pool, allowing us to cook delicious meals while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful surroundings.
Overall, I cannot recommend Waterside Cottages and Acacia Villa enough. The level of service provided by the staff was exceptional, and we felt so welcomed and taken care of throughout our entire stay. If you are looking for a luxurious and peaceful getaway, this is the perfect spot for you. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

i choose the garden view side. it was really amazing and beautiful. everything for the braai and first aid kit, breakfast food, fresh fruits, everything was like arranged with neat and was comfortable with everything. the site was quiet place for relaxing. again, you dont need to go to reception to register and get key, those uncomfortable process, they give you everything by your phone. it was really private and comfortable. i really really loved the place.
asian like me, i do take care lots of safety situations. first i felt too dark outside, the lights it would been better if it was LED so that you can see the movement from outside. however, it did not happen anything and rested well.
