Oyster Box
Based on reviews.
From the moment the Oyster Box opened its doors in 1947 the hotel rapidly became one of Africa’s best loved and most distinguished hotels. The combination of colonial charm, impeccable service, lush tropical gardens and a breathtaking seaside setting swiftly gained it a legendary reputation. State of the art facilities include an award-winning spa, a private cinema and beautiful pools within sub-tropical surroundings. Don’t miss traditional afternoon tea, fine dining at The Grill Room or perhaps a more relaxed curry buffet or pizza at The Ocean Terrace.
