Kingfisher Heads

Kingfisher Heads is situated in Velddrif, one of the small fishing villages that dot this part of the 'forgotten' West Coast. Velddrif lies just a few kilometres from where the Berg River meets the sea at St Helena Bay.

This recently upgraded self-catering apartment is located on the waterfront on the ground floor. It consists of two bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, an open-plan fully equipped kitchen, a lounge area that flows onto the patio and lawns overlooking the Berg River with its rich bird life. All linen and towels are provided.

The historical Bokkom Laan is on your doorstep and offers boat trips, a restaurant and an art gallery. This is the perfect base from which to explore the West Coast, Rocher Pan Nature Reserve, West Coast Park, and the fossil park. Wild flowers can be viewed in season. Activities include 4x4 trips, hiking, fishing, sailing, golf and squash.

Villages are where visitors are greeted with silence, there is space to explore and where time slows inexplicably. What appears to be a barren, windswept landscape is simply an illusion that disappears when the richness of bird life, plant life and the sea reveal their true natures and the fynbos works its charm on all who come here.

Reviews

"Kingfisher Heads - Highlight was the braai on the patio"

19 June 2017

"Overall disappointing, beds and pillows not comfortable, switch tripped, appears to be when the kettle and stove switched on simultaneously. Lounge furniture worn out and uncomfortable. Heaters insufficient for cold winter period. Toilet / shower small and cramped / constricted."
"Not good value for money"

"For the price paid I was highly disappointed to see that we were not even provided with complimentary coffee, tea and sugar nor any soap. This is the first time I have stayed in a self catering unit that does not provide these basic facilities."
"Enjoyable"

"A lovely setting, the rooms were clean, though some smaller negatives: no internet, only 4 TV channels, only half a roll of one ply toilet paper, one small wall mounted heater not enough to heat up the room, limited space in the shower/toilet room , no soap/shampoo and had expected some tea/coffee bags."
"Excellent"

"Dankie vir 'n heerlike rustydjie in 'n baie aantreklike netjiese plekkie. Dit was absoluut hemels met die kersie op die koek - die Jetty vir die mans se visvang! Rustige atmosfeer en vriendelike diens van Melanie is nie te versmaai! Ons sal weer kom!"
"Thank you"

"Lovely quiet stay at Kingfisher heads on the edge of the lagoon in Velddrif. While it is not very big it is well equipped, clean and comfortable. Warm welcome on arrival from Melanie, who was very friendly and helpful."
"Lovely"

26 January 2012

"We had a wonderful time. Being on the banks of the river was a lovely experience. You get to see birds such as Pelicans that you would not normally have the privilege of viewing, as well as fabulous sunsets. It's a good location from which to explore the wonders of the West Coast. A swimming pool is the only missing ingredient in an otherwise perfect setting."
"Enjoyable"

"We enjoyed our stay and was very impressed with the chalet. It was very clean and feels like a place to return to. We will surely make use of these facilities again."
