Kosi Bay Lodge Private Chalets

We spent one night at the Lodge The chalet was lovely and in a stunning setting. Everything one required was provided for in terms of the bedding, kitchen utensils etc. Enoch at reception was helpful. I think most visitors have said it before, the Lodge holds much potential but lacks hands on management. Downsides: The road was dreadful and signposting abysmal. The restaurant was a disaster, they did not have 80% of what was on the menu and no selection on wine. Again as others have mentioned, there was no forewarning of it being cash only (in this age of technology?). Our waitress was friendly enough but her attention to detail was poor - she got half the order wrong, and disappeared once the food was served. While we appreciate it was the middle of the week, and there were very few patrons, it is attention to detail and consistency that most of us look for in service - and this was nill. Kosi bay and surrounds are very pretty, but there is no drive for encouraging tourism at all. there is no signposting for anything. Most tourist spots are controlled by the parksboard and you have to drive about 15km on a really bad road to get permits which are only valid for one day and can only be purchased on the day. Nice Lodge, beautiful surrounds, very poor tourism management in Kosi Bay.
