Oyster Bay Lodge

We initially was given a very very very poor room with no privacy and small. We requested to be moved and the second room was much better. The photos on Bookings.com is not recent photos and should be updated as so many other places, requires maintenance. On the website of Bookings.com it doesn't mention that the ocean is more than 1km away from the lodge and that we couldn't swim at this spot and had to travel by car more than 4km for a swim in the ocean.

The initial room was totally unacceptable. We have find that the website of Bookings.com in certain instances not always truthful with the accommodation that they advertise and thus not always reliable.

The activities and location are incredible. Staff are helpful where they can be. We loved the beaches and remote location. Manuel was a gem!

We stayed over New Years and it was clear that they were incredibly understaffed. In many cases we didn't receive food/drinks orders or just had to cancel them as it took so long. The staff did try their best but were clearly under staffed.

Location is pristine, secluded and one of the lessor known jewels in the E Cape. Facilitates are good with a number of additional fun activities on offer, we enjoyed the sand boarding and fat bikes for the sandy trails. The Chef and his Team delivered some extraordinary fish and vegetarian dishes..excellent!

All good.

Comfortable and Relaxing … just wonderful easy to be found, use google maps to get there comfortable. The lodge has just a couple of rooms, some of them quite luxury. The rooms are big, very big. Very nice furniture. Very clean. High level standard. The lodge is located in a very spacy plot of more than 200 hectar. A private beach is part of it as well as a dune on the plot. This is nature pure! Food is phenominal, we had very seldom food in this quality in South Africa. Service perfect and friendly. Wifi existing. All in all very luxury place, very romantic atmosphere. A bit expensive, value for money is a bit out of balance. Would we come again? Well, we recognized that management/owner changes recently. We had the impression that maintenance is not a priority anymore. Before going there again we would check latest comments in google.
