Oyster Box
Durban

Accommodation
Standing majestically on Umhlanga’s beachfront overlooking the Indian Ocean and the iconic lighthouse, The Oyster Box is the ultimate in colonial charm and style. Expect professional service, excellent restaurants and a fantastic sea front location. A small path leads down to the beach and to the legendary Umhlanga Lighthouse whose light cone creates a magical atmosphere at night.

Large cargo ships slowly pass by the hotel on their way to Durban harbour, supplying South Africa's biggest port with important goods. A ringing bell however indicates the sight of dolphins, and not the sight of a particularly big cargo ship!

You can choose from 86 luxurious rooms and suites that either look out into the courtyard or provide fabulous sea views. The hotel provides a good choice of excellent restaurants. The Ocean Terrace is a less formal option for outside dining and views over the ocean, or visit the fabulous Lighthouse Bar for views of the light house.

Location
The hotel is located approximately 20 minutes from Durban King Shaka Airport on Umhlanga’s beachfront (say «Umschlanga»).

Durban enjoys a warm and subtropical climate with lots of sun. Life in Durban is influenced by a large population of Indians that were brought to South Africa in the 1860s to support the sugar cane industry in the Durban area. Today, Durban has the largest Indian population outside of India.
