Outstanding service ... decor so far from generic its was mouthwatering ... so much thought and detail in every respect. Loved it! (Skebenga, the tabby cat, in danger of being catnapped - gorgeous!)

A rare combination when a hotel can boast excellence in both leisure and business optics. Well done to the GM Mr Wayne Cotzee and his well trained and professional team.

I stayed at the Oyster Box hotel for 2 nights and it is absolutely exceptional in every regard. From the outstanding service to beautiful rooms to cosy in-house guest cinema this has to be the best hotel in South Africa.

Really good value and delicious. Ambience great - complete with a... More
