This amazing 5-star hotel is located on the Umhlanga seafront opposite the town’s iconic red-and-white lighthouse. The hotel boasts 86 rooms and suites, ranging from garden facing to sea facing. We would always suggest a sea-facing room at Oyster Box, as the views from these rooms are truly spectacular. Oyster Box has thought of everything to make your stay extra special, from complimentary fresh fruit in all rooms, to soap and pillow menus, to beach gear including umbrellas, bats, balls, bags and suntan lotion.
