The Oyster Box
South Africa
The Oyster Box occupies a familiar position above Umhlanga’s lighthouse, with the Indian Ocean and beachfront close at hand. Individually decorated rooms and suites give the hotel a varied character within a coastal setting that has long defined its appeal. Gardens surround the spa, creating a quieter area away from the beach. Swimming pools and a fitness centre provide further options for guests spending a day within the property. Food is an important part of a visit. The curry buffet offers at least eleven preparations across meat, fish and vegetarian choices, while high tea supplies a different kind of occasion. Restaurants and bars allow guests to organise several meals without repeating the same experience. The Oyster Box suits visitors who want a coastal hotel with established dining traditions as well as a sea view. Its combination of accommodation, gardens and food makes it useful for both a short break and a longer stay in Umhlanga.
