We visited the Oyster Box to enquire about High Tea and what a surprise we had when we were met like royalty. From the doorman to the front desk to the staff on the floor to the waiters. A waiter by the name of Meshack assisted us. He did not make the booking himself but stayed with us all the... More

The Oysterbox Hotel came highly recommended as THE place to stay when travelling to Umhlanga Rocks or really the general area around Durban, and it did not disappoint. Its location, right by the iconic lighthouse, with beautiful views down the coast of the Durban skyline in the distance, and scenic dunes and greenery a short walk up the beach, is... More

Outstanding service ... decor so far from generic its was mouthwatering ... so much thought and detail in every respect. Loved it! (Skebenga, the tabby cat, in danger of being catnapped - gorgeous!)

A rare combination when a hotel can boast excellence in both leisure and business optics. Well done to the GM Mr Wayne Cotzee and his well trained and professional team.

From the outstanding service to beautiful rooms to cosy in-house guest cinema this has to be the best hotel in South Africa. Although room rates are high, the service and quality are in line with the price. It's worth the trip to... More

Ihave consequently stayed... More

And this impression lasted until we were waved off on our trip around Kwazulu Natal 3 days later. The hotel has this classic colonial feel situated away from the Durban city on a wonderful stretch...

My wife and I stayed at The Oyster Box for a couple of days in early March, following excellent experiences at The Twelve Apostles in Cape Town, which is part of the same hotel group. The Oyster Box is beautiful and the rooms sumptuous. There are lots of staff who are very friendly and attentive, but we had a suspicion... More
