    No complaints.

    What a wonderful guest house, superb location and gracious staff. We wanted a getaway weekend and the Oystercatchers Haven was ideal. The room was so comfortable with a great view of the beach, quiet with the rolling surf. Staff were very pleasant and the breakfast was outstanding.

    This is one of my favourite places to stay in the entire South Africa. The boutique hotel is seamless, service warm and professional, room spacious and elegant. What makes it special, though, is its position straight on the beach, offering breathtaking views, specially at sunset.

    That we didn't stay longer!

    Breakfast, location and general energy of this place were unmatched. Felt relaxed and cared for from the get-go, without feeling smothered as you can do in smaller, more intimate guesthouses. Super clean, super comfy, little touches thought of throughout and an excellent host. Only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

    The location was perfect, right on the beach. A lovely stroll to great restaurants. We stayed in room 4 and it was bliss to sit on your own sun bed right outside the door and watch the sun set every evening.

    Absolutely beautiful setting and the furnishings and decor were so welcoming and tasteful. Breakfast was excellent and so too the service. Thanks Andy, Susan and the back room staff

    Everything!!!! The guest house is just above the beach. The view of the beach is stunning! We had sea views from our rooms from every angle! There were sunbeds right outside our rooms, close to the pool. We received a warm welcome on arrival and the place is spotless. The decor is very tasteful, old world mixed with modern. We had coffee/tea making facilities in our rooms. Breakfast was delicious and so beautifuly presented! The bathrobes and our bed linen turned down for us were just another added touch! I highly recommend The Oystercatcher's Haven!
