Traveller reviews

“Fabulous and fun!”
31 Jan 2025
Our stay was super! The Oyster Box Hotel is wonderful and their staff are excellent. Particular mention has to be made of Tracy the lady who seated us at breakfast each morning. So friendly and helpful and sweet. All the wait staff were great and the pool guys went out of their way to assist and bring towels and drinks and even iced water mist bottles as it was extremely hot. (Although we don't have little ones, I noted that the lifeguards spent hours with the children at the pool each day whilst keeping an eye out on all). Breakfast was a delight each morning and our room was spacious, quiet and lovely.

“A Sanctuary of Warmth, Luxury, and Exceptional Service”
18 Jan 2025
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Oyster Box in Umhlanga. We enjoyed our first few nights so much that we decided to book extra nights on our way home—it was that amazing! The service here is truly second to none. The attention to detail and hospitality were simply outstanding and made our visit unforgettable. A special mention goes to Letho, one of the waitresses during breakfast—she was incredible and truly went above and beyond, leaving a lasting impression on us. Vivian, our chauffeur driver, was excellent, making every journey seamless and enjoyable. However, it feels unfair to single out individuals because, as you move through the hotel, every single person contributes to the exceptional experience. From the bell boys, concierge, front desk, and hostesses at lunch to the waiters, waitresses, musicians, and management—everyone is so warm and friendly, creating an atmosphere of true hospitality. The service around the pool during the day was also outstanding. We were blown away when the team organized a thoughtful gift for a friend within just five minutes—an example of their incredible efficiency and care. Our 16-month-old daughter was treated like family, and it was heartwarming to see how much the team engaged with her, letting her explore and run around freely. We also adored Skabenga, the resident house cat! He was so sweet to our daughter, who absolutely loved him. The fact that dogs are also welcome at the hotel made the whole experience feel even more like home. And of course, the cheeky monkeys added their own charm!

“Exceptional stay. Highly recommend Oyster as hotel of choice”
