About
About this getaway
The Oyster Box is at 2 Lighthouse Road, Umhlanga, on the KwaZulu-Natal coast. The hotel counts 86 individually decorated rooms, suites, and villas, with ocean views or garden seclusion. It describes itself as part of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, about 20 minutes from King Shaka International Airport, and it dates the hotel's life on this beach to 1954. The phone is +27 31 514 5000. The lighthouse is the landmark in the view, not a logo.
The dining list is the other half of the stay. The site names a curry buffet, the Grill Room, the Ocean Terrace, the Palm Court for high tea, the Lighthouse Bar, the Chukka Bar, and the Oyster Bar. There is a spa in the gardens. This is a beach hotel with a specific meal people cross town for, and with enough rooms that a sea view is a question, not a guarantee. The introduction does not print a nightly rate.
Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
