Setting Description

A slice of paradise on the KwaZulu Natal South Coast in South Africa, Kingfisher Lakeside Retreat is situated in the village of Trafalgar on the edge of the recently rehabilitated Black Lake. On the border of the Mpenjati Nature Reserve and a mere 5-minute walk to a pristine, unspoiled beach, Kingfisher Lakeside Retreat is an exclusive, upmarket tented camp and cottage for those who enjoy a luxurious outdoors experience.The main beach has world-class Blue Flag status and is great for surfing and swimming. When the conditions allow, the rocky reef just offshore, provides an excellent spot for snorkelling, where you will find fossilised remains of shellfish, various fish species, plant material and petrified wood. These 90 million-year-old fossil beds are located a short distance from the shoreline so that at low tide it is possible for visitors to walk out and examine these ancient remains.
