    The long gravel farm roads to the property are a bit dodgy but definitely adds to the getaway feel!

    Absolutely beautiful property. We were greeted so warmly by reception and shown to our very newly updated cottage with the softest beds. Lots of trails to hike. Gorgeous stretch of private beach.

    We stayed over New Years and it was clear that they were incredibly understaffed. In many cases we didn't receive food/drinks orders or just had to cancel them as it took so long. The staff did try their best but were clearly under staffed.

    The activities and location are incredible. Staff are helpful where they can be. We loved the beaches and remote location. Manuel was a gem!

    All good.

    Location is pristine, secluded and one of the lessor known jewels in the E Cape. Facilitates are good with a number of additional fun activities on offer, we enjoyed the sand boarding and fat bikes for the sandy trails. The Chef and his Team delivered some extraordinary fish and vegetarian dishes..excellent!

    Comfortable and Relaxing … just wonderful easy to be found, use google maps to get there comfortable. The lodge has just a couple of rooms, some of them quite luxury. The rooms are big, very big. Very nice furniture. Very clean. High level standard. The lodge is located in a very spacy plot of more than 200 hectar. A private beach is part of it as well as a dune on the plot. This is nature pure! Food is phenominal, we had very seldom food in this quality in South Africa. Service perfect and friendly. Wifi existing. All in all very luxury place, very romantic atmosphere. A bit expensive, value for money is a bit out of balance. Would we come again? Well, we recognized that management/owner changes recently. We had the impression that maintenance is not a priority anymore. Before going there again we would check latest comments in google.

    Nature on its best, fantastic food, very friendly and supportive people

    The road to Oyster Bay is quite challenging if you are driving a sedan motor vehicle. Also maybe to look at putting in a ceiling fan in all the rooms

    The breakfast was well prepared with different choices.

    That we couldn't stay longer.

    This is one of the hidden paradises in South Africa. Was our third visit to this venue and we will return again next year. Bush, secluded private beach, excellent food, exceptional hospitality, nature lover's heaven with a touch of urban comfort. The horse rides through the bush and dunes are fantastic. Great running and mountain bike cycling tracks on the estate. Fantastic picnic and beach venue spots.

    There is nothing I can think of.

    A pleasant farm amidst beautiful nature, short walk from the ocean with secluded beach and huge dunes nearby. Dinner and breakfast were good and everyone enjoyed additional activities they offer: we did dune safari and horse riding.

    The initial room was totally unacceptable. We have find that the website of Bookings.com in certain instances not always truthful with the accommodation that they advertise and thus not always reliable.

    We initially was given a very very very poor room with no privacy and small. We requested to be moved and the second room was much better. The photos on Bookings.com is not recent photos and should be updated as so many other places, requires maintenance. On the website of Bookings.com it doesn't mention that the ocean is more than 1km away from the lodge and that we couldn't swim at this spot and had to travel by car more than 4km for a swim in the ocean.
