Me and a colleague stayed at this lodge for a few days during April 2013. The atmosphere was nice with good service and all needs covered perfectly. Breathtaking views of the sea was experienced with only a few steps to the beach. Definately worth a visit, again and again.

Excellent location to be at your ease. A very quiet place with with the sea as your backyard, very lovely. A good personal service. A bit expensive when you compare with other places of the same value.

We totally enjoyed our stay at Sea otters lodge. The accomodation was clean, scenic, convenient and totally relaxing. The owner and his staff were extremely warm and welcoming . What impressed us most was the personal attention to dietary requirements. This is rarely found. we will certainly be back . The Paradise suite is the best!

Kini bay is an isolated "village" with very little surrounding amenities. We stayed for one night at Sea Otters Lodge and had to drive into Port Elizabeth for dinner. Our children's room smelled very strongly of moth balls, which was very overpowering, and the brushed cotton sheets were not comfortable. The breakfast was very disappointing - there is a "menu"...
