Oyster Bay Beach Lodge

Nice and cozy little house; they only have ~5 rooms and it's so beautiful! The view over the sea is great! And we loved Oyster Bay as a place so much. Most beautiful beach! The host is also very nice, he cooks great food (loved the breakfast!!) and the rooms are neat and tidy. You get the most beautiful sunsets and we even saw dolphins while sitting on the terrace.

Amazing location and view from the room, right on the wild coast. Long rough dirt roads to get there but fine with a standard car. Very informal. Great welcome. Comfortable room. Good cooked breakfast.

Had a dire experience with service from a completely incompetent waitress at the Nautilus restaurant in the village.

Stunning views, extremely nice host, decent linen and a great breakfast.

We liked everything, but could do with a little make over/reno.

The setting and host - amazing:) The food Nick kindly prepared - Michelin Star Our best overnight stop in SA :) Thank you

The views & host.

It was unfortunate that the property didn't serve any meals except the breakfast. We were looking forward to the seafood and home made meals as per the Booking.com write-up. The bar and outdoor braai area is also not operational, and the dinner & bar was why we booked at this property specifically.

Like, head-over-heels. The very place I was ready to write off as a disaster turned out to be the most magical little retreat.

The views were spectacular. You could feel very relaxed here - great place to write a book or similar project! Nick and Steph were full of good advice and information so it was always a pleasure to talk to them. The evening meal we had was delicious - beautiful fish and delicious steak with veg and salad. Perfect! You could sit in bed and look out at the sea which was fantastic. There’s a beautiful beach too.

The road! It had recently been ‘done’ but that meant it was in a worse condition than before. I’m sure it will improve as time goes on but it will never be a perfect road. Depending which way you go, it’s around 15 Kim’s of rough road. If you have an appropriate car, it wouldn’t be a problem - we had a VW Polo so it was slow going!! If you’re renting a 4x4 anyway, then it’s worth going to Oyster Bay.
