Kosi Forest Lodge is situated in the unspoiled wilderness that is part of the Isimangaliso Wetland Park, now internationally recognized as a World Heritage Site.
The 16-bed lodge offers comfortable accommodation, fine cuisine, and a variety of estuarine, beach, and wilderness activities. Explore this unique ecosystem by guided canoe trips on the lakes, raffia forest walks, or day excursions to nearby coastal beaches. Discover one of South Africa’s best ecotourism destinations.
The six thatch, glass, and canvas Forest Rooms are nestled in a captivating indigenous forest in the Kosi Bay Nature Reserve, providing privacy under a peaceful canopy of shady trees. The rooms are elevated on wooden decks, featuring beautifully appointed bedrooms, balconies, dressing rooms, and separate bath and shower facilities. The romantic en-suite bathroom is open-air within a reed-enclosed boma. Set in pristine white beach sand and positioned underneath majestic forest trees, guests are guaranteed a truly unique experience. Bedrooms have low wooden walls with mosquito netting and roll-up canvas blinds, allowing for panoramic views of the surrounding forest.
Kosi Forest Lodge is also a popular honeymoon destination. The Honeymoon Forest Room offers complete privacy, allowing couples to enjoy the serenity of the surrounding sand forest undisturbed. Complimentary honeymoon inclusions feature a bottle of sparkling wine, a private dinner, and a romantic turndown on the first night of arrival.
Kosi Forest Lodge is an outdoor paradise for children and is well-suited to families. The two Family Rooms consist of two chalets, each equipped with an en-suite shower, basin, and toilet, as well as a shared outdoor boma bath and shower. The chalets are connected by a short wooden walkway for ease of access.
Activities at the lodge include guided canoeing, fishing, snorkeling, birding, boat trips, a visit to Kosi Mouth, a Raffia Palm Forest walk, and turtle tracking.
Kosi Forest Lodge is ideal for solo travelers, couples, and families seeking an adventurous getaway.

Easy booking process
