We stayed 4 nights in one of cabins, next to the pond with swingchair (super!) and sea view. Although we had some rain, we never got the chance to bore ourselves. The place is simply amazing, the remote setting with own beach, boma, walking trails, swimming pool, the horses, the dune ride and not to forget the great staff and... More

I spent a wonderful couple of days at this lodge, which was recommended by the owner of another lodge where I had previously stayed, in July 2011. I had been on the road for several days and this proved the perfect place to recuperate from travel fatigue and a bad cold. I called only a couple of hours before I... More

A wonderful hotel with beautiful rooms and great food and service to match. Definitely returning! The 28 km dirt road is sometimes not easy on a normal car especially aftr rain but what a great place! More

We followed the instructions in the Greenwood guide to turn left off the n2 and follow the signs to Oyster bay. Niether the guide ,nor the signs told us that it would be 25 k down a VERY bad dirt road, and up an even worse drive to reach the lodge. The cabin was ok ,but we were kept awake... More

We feel it rather unfortunate that our Coastal Reserve with 3,5 km private sandy beachfront was not this writers cup of tea........Writer refers to the Greenwood Guide of which Oyster Bay Lodge has been a proud family member for more than 6 years. The profile of the Greenwood Guide properties is 'off the beaten track'.....natural, unusual, untouristy places, often along... More

OBL was our final destination after an exciting tour through the eastern provinces of SA. We had a luxury, comfortable and relaxing two weeks in this most hospitable paradise, which, in fact, can be a holiday destination in it's self for those who want to refrain from driving thousands of miles to explore the whole country. While there are top... More

The room we stayed in was shabby and old, did not have a TV in the room or an aircon. I noticed the duvet was stained. I enjoyed the breakfast, that was the only meal we had at the Lodge, so I can't comment on the rest. Its lovely to have the horses walking around, the area is lovely. The... More

We stayed at Oyster Bay Lodge for 1 night. After 3 days wedding near Pretoria, this was a really good place to relax. Enjoy the walks, climb the sand dunes and walk on the beach - beautiful! We were welcomed by the horses who roam free. A shame I didn't try the horse riding on this wonderful beach. Our room... More

We had only a brief overnight stay here but would go back and spend several days next time. The 27 km drive on the gravel road was a suprise but you know you are really away from it all. The cottages were clean and quaint and cozy with fireplaces and the most excellent showers we experienced ever. The walk to... More
