Amazing

Set in an amazing location. Beautiful hotel and attentive staff. Faultless. At checkout Uriel & Saskia went out of their way to assist us. Every member of staff was excellent. Highly recommend.The hotel is fun of interesting nooks and crannies and has a feel of history and modernism. The bed was luxurious. Food was plentiful and delicious.

One of my favorites.

I absolutely adore the Oyster Box. The rooms, service, restaurants and the overall atmosphere is overwhelming. The Oyster Box reminds me of an old British colonial hotel, not that I know anything about such places, but the ambiance is similar, I believe. Sitting in the Terrace Grill watching ships lined up to enter the port while dining on prawns and Chardonnay can’t be beaten.

20/10! Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at

My husband and I just enjoyed a 5 day stay at the Oyster Box. It is better than any high end, five star hotel in the USA. The staff at the front instantly made us feel welcome. Their attention to detail is IMPECCABLE. From a complimentary upgrade to addressing us by our names everytime we moved about, they make you feel like family. I had the best massage of my life at the spa. Additionally they made my birthday feel like It was the only thing they were celebrating. The staff never missed a beat. Our servers, pool boys, house keepers, and front desk staff quickly felt like family. Everyone was on the same page. Bravo to every inch of administration and management for running a hotel not only like a business but a special place. I would fly from the United States to Durban just to stay there again. I have never seen service like I experienced at the Oyster Box. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Very Warm Welcome, Impressive Facility

Thanks to Dorothy! She is a very competent Front Office Manager. She gave us a very warm welcome. It was great. Also Thanks to Theo, he is a super concierge and always helped us! The architecture of the hotel is impressive. You feel like you're in a different time. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are large, many rooms face the garden. The price level for overnight stays is very high. You pay much more for a sea view room. The food in the hotel is very good and inexpensive. The hotel is quiet and very centrally located. Great view (lighthouse!). Unfortunately the beach was closed due to the flooding in the area of Durban a month ago. The curry dishes are highly recommended.
