Wunderschöne Lodge in traumhafter Lage. Man sollte jedoch mindestens 2-3 Nächte einplanen, da es abseits gelegen ist und um ausreichend Zeit hat die Aktivitäten und die Schönheit der Landschaft zu genießen. Das Essen war auch hervorragend.

Privates Naturreservat mit schönen Unterkünften

Wir hatten 2 schöne Tage dort. Unser Luxury Chalet war sehr schön. Die Anfahrt war auch ohne 4x4 problemlos möglich. Das Frühstück war herausragend, das Abendessen gut. Wir sind am Strand und über die Dünen gewandert und haben die frei grasenden Pferde gestreichelt. Auch unserer Tochter hat es gefallen

Beach solitude.

Oyster Bay Lodge was a great stop on our Garden Route adventure. The road going in from Port Elizabeth was a bit sketchy, but it added to the allure of the hidden gem of Oyster Bay. Wonderful food and dining atmosphere, great walks in the woods, and a private, beautiful white beach. Great pool also. Two nights was not enough!

Disappointing

We were looking forward to sitting in our luxury chalet & watching the waves & walking out onto the beach. The chalet is not "luxury" & the beach is a good 20 minute walk. The "beach View" from the chalet is in the far distance when standing on the patio. The 3 course meal was disappointing with no choices & the property is too far on gravel roads from the towns to go out for a meal at night. The flies were a problem & were everywhere - even attacking your food while eating. All in all disappointing & too expensive for what you get.

Schöne Lodge, wer Ruhe sucht ist hier richtig. Man kann aber trotzdem einiges unternehmen. Frühstück ist sehr gut, Mittag und Abendessen ebenfalls. Ist auch die ideale Lösung weil die Lodge sehr abgelegen liegt. Zu empfehlen.

Natur pur

Die Lodge ist über ein ca. 30 km lange Schotterstraße zu erreichen, problemlos für "normale" Mietwägen. Liegt einsam, in Sichtweite der Indische Ozean. Zum Strand ca 20 Min. Fußweg. Der perfekte "hide away" inmitten einer menschenleeren Bay inkl. Sanddüne. Personal sehr freundlich, Essen sehr gut, allerdings gibt es abends nur ein Menü ohne Alternative (nur für Veg und Allergiker). Familiäre Atmosphäre. Einige Aktivitäten zu fairen Preisen. Fazit: Wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht ist hier richtig!

Oyster Bay Lodge är ett underbart boende som ligger avsides och långt ifrån stad och stress. Området är fylld med hästar, vacker natur och en skön pool. Hotellet håller hög klass och är väldigt trevligt.
