Kingfisher Country House

Wilderness

On our travel along the Garden Route this place is the one we would have liked to stay longer - but it was not possible for just 2 easy reasons - our next place was booked and more important - we were one of the last guests in this lovely place. Sue and Phil have sold their home and retire. The new owner will not operate a B&B but just live there. For 2 days we were the only guests, and Sue provided a breakfast as if we were 6 people .... Amazing.

A Home away from Home - sorry that it is gone ...

Kingfisher is the quintessential home from home. Guests are made to feel like cherished family members, such is the warmth of the welcome here. The rooms are all comfortable & a place to relax. Sue's breakfasts are world-famous, as is the fact that she can, literally, charm the birds from the trees! Birdwatchers find themselves in paradise. All tastes are catered for as Sue & Phil have the broadest knowledge of the area & can suggest the best possible itinerary. 

Sue & Phil's little piece of heaven draws us back every time

Phil and Sue's Kingfisher Country House (KCH) is probably the best accomodation along the Garden Route. It's close to a few of the best birding sites in Wilderness National Park (Half Collared Kingfisher Trail (hotspot for Narina Trogon), the Rondevlei Bird Hide and the Malachite Bird Hide) and much sought after birds such as Knysna Turaco, Swee Waxbill and Forest Canary are easy to see from KCH's veranda. But even if you are not a birdwatcher (like my wife), you will enjoy the close up views of the birds, the beautiful garden, the English cottage style rooms and the unsurpassed breakfast. It's simply a marvellous place to stay. You will not be disappointed.

Among the best accomodation along the Garden Route

We spent (only) one night at this magnificent place! We liked everything about the place - the garden which was full of birds, the beautiful location, the room and breakfast. But mostly, we enjoyed the warm, friendly and hospitable hosts, who gave us a lot of information about birds and suggestions for birding in the area. We would love to come again!

Bird lovers' paradise

perfect!!! we had a great time, thank you! 
we saw many birds in the garden, the room was lovely, the breakfast very very good, the owner very friendly. We felt very comfortale! I am sure that  we will come back.

great!!!!

We spent four nights at Kingfisher Country House and from day one it felt like home. Our room was beautifully appointed and very comfortable – we slept like logs. The delicious breakfasts kept us going for the whole day. Sue and Phil were wonderful and caring hosts. Sue shared her birding expertise (and there were plenty of birds to see at the feeders, including the legendary turaco) and she provided us with all the information we needed to explore the Wilderness-Garden Route area. Wilderness National Parks’s Half-Collared Kingfisher Trail is only a short walk from the house. A thank-you to the family pets Misty and Tessa for their company and affection. Given the opportunity, we would definitely stay at Kingfisher County House again.

A home away from home

Everything about this place was charming - the room, the people, the dog, the birds, the garden. Very quiet, out of the village but not difficult to find. Highly recommended if you like nature and would like to see the local bird life close up.

absolutely charming

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful and loving time with Sue and Phil. Mum is very warmly received and you feel like you're with your grandparents. The accommodation is clean and the breakfast is lovingly prepared. Don't miss feeding the birds on the terrace. We can only recommend the accommodation warmest you'll love it.

Lovely and affectionate!

Sue and Phil take care of everything and love to bottle one. The room is checked twice a day and brought to the front of the room. To call breakfast just a good breakfast is a gross exaggeration. Sue really gives everything: fruit salad, yogurt, cereal, toast, homemade marmalade, cut, potatoes, bacon - and then we change the sausage twice a day, stuffed champignons, quiche, eggs, steamed kayllann cakes or freshly baked muffins. We should have started at 9:00 a. We should not have started much earlier than 9:00 a. But after lunch, we should have gone back to the National Balloon. We also had two tips to go to the Vicky's Park, and we had to get a little extra food from the National Balloon, and then we had to go to the South Bay, and then we had a few more tips to eat at the National Balloon, and then we had to go to the West Bay, and then we had to go to the West Bay, and then we had a few more tips to eat at the National Balloon.

That's fantastic.

It's a must if you want to meet two wonderful, loving and caring hosts. Sue and Phil are so kind that we'll remember you for a long time. Whether it was feeding the birds or the homemade breakfast or the loving recommendations we received, it was a pleasure to have been there. Thank you so much for the wonderful time. Pietro & Parisa
