priya pillay2025-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With the cool breeze caressing my skin, the gentle rustling of the leaves, the chirping of birds and the sound of the waves in the distant background, I found a natural paradise at Kingfisher lakeside Retreat. Falcon tent was nothing short of amazing. Featuring all the modern comforts like hotel quality bedding, our own private splash pool, and excellent wifi, this facility gave new meaning to the term glamping. The location is superb; the pristine, private beach tranquil; and Peter and Chere are welcoming and friendly hosts, even cooking us a delicious breakfast one morning. A luxurious getaway in a stunning setting close to nature, this is a unique experience not to be missed. Ria Powell2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
