Deserves all of it's 4 star rating. But just remember that this is primarily a rental and not a B+B, even though B+B is provided, breakfast will not be up to the standard of other 4 star, but that is little sacrifice to enjoy the tranquility beauty and peace of the Oysterbox. There is no comparison between the two luxury... More

This was at the end of our holiday and finished it nicely. Top class service and hotel where people made sure they knew your name, though it never felt stuffy. Lots of choice on food and you have to try afternoon tea which is the best I have had anywhere. More

It's worth pointing out that the four-bed Oyster Shack doesn't have a sea view, even though it is the sister property to the Oyster Box Beach House just across the road, which definitely does have a sea view and a rather impressive one at that. Both have the same sort of colonial, seaside feel, with cream painted floors and walls,... More

We stayed here in Jan 2009 after spending a few days in one of the nearby game parks. We were really lucky in that we had the whole house to ourselves, three of us, for the three days we were there. It is beautifully furnished and the views of Kenton beaches are fantastic. We regretted not spending more time here... More

In 2008, we stayed at the Oyster Box in the luxury upstairs suite for two wonderful days and vowed that we would return. This year in May, we did just that, but for four days this time. Words can not express how pleased we were with everything. The accommodation is absolutely top notch, with a huge king bedroom offering panoramic... More

My husband and I booked in at the last minute in order to attend a function in the area - if only we had planned a much longer trip - and invited a few mates! Beautifully decorated and appointed - easy and relaxed - lovely, upmarket accommodation with truly magnificent, uninterrupted views down the coast. Out stay was perfection from... More

We would love to return and would take the whole house next time. thanks and all... More

We booked a room in this guest house since we loved the view. Unfortunately the accommodation proved to be less than ideal. We were not told that guests renting the upstairs level will have access to the lower level of the house where we were staying. While taking an afternoon nap the 'chef' noisely started preparing dinner for the upstairs... More

“Our policy is to ensure that guests are clear about their booking, so this misunderstanding is unfortunate. Our website clearly describes the property which lets you choose between hiring the whole house, or a room within it, at different prices in line with the market in each case. As is usual, the kitchen and main lounge areas tend to be... More
