The Oyster Box Hotel

Set in 4.5 acres of tropical splendour and absolute beachfront, the Oyster Box, one of South Africa's most distinguished hotels is the epitome of gracious elegance and sumptuous comfort.

The hotel has an all weather tennis court and a sparkling pool overlooking the Indian Ocean. Visit the cocktail bar, sports bar or the world renowned grill room restaurant featuring local sea foods and excellent South African wines and delicacies. Oysters picked daily are a speciality and are available every day, every way.

A colonial veranda offering sumptuous lunches and high teas, overlooking the Indian Ocean, and a banquet venue perfect for intimate weddings and ideal for corporate conferences are just a few attractions you'll find at the Oyster Box.

Blending with panoramic views of the sea and beaches is the Oyster Box's famous landmark, the Umhlanga Rocks Lighthouse. The hotel is a two-minute walk from the Umhlanga village Centre, and a 15-minute drive to five excellent golf courses and two shopping malls.

Activities:

Watch dolphins from the front lawn, even from your bedroom. Catch a glimpse of a humpback whale, we sight them from May to December. Less than 50 years ago these might creatures were almost extinct. Thanks to Global conservation, their numbers are slowly increasing. They migrate from Antarctica to Madagascar. Body surf in the breakers just north of Granny's pool. Swim in the hotel pool and sunbathe on the surrounding lawns. Order a dozen Oysters and a bottle of wine for your spirit. Have an invigorating swim in the sea and a lazy snooze on the beach. Try your luck at surf fishing. Sample the delicious food we serve in our a la carte restaurant and on our terrace. See the wreck of the Ocean Surf, which, ran around in 1983, at Casuarina Beach, 5 Km north of the Oyster Box.
