I was expecting to meet the host and get to be shown around. We were not aware that there's a gate going out to the beach until on the last day, so if we had received a tour sort of it was going to be easy, nevertheless the place is breathtaking we will definitely come back.

When we first stayed at the Oysters one could only rent for a minimum week - but it appears that short stays are now common and these tend to attract groups that party until the early hours of the morning disturbing residents and longer term renters - will impact our choice in the future after many stays in the past

Linen and towels only get changed after 5days. Pillows are uncomfortably hard. No shower in main bathroom. Extra charge for house keeping to wash dishes with limited cleaning available. Struggled to open the apartment door. Curtains in main bedroom and lounge area tattered and torn. Second bedroom window faces the corridor, can be abit noisy. Carpets in bedrooms had a bad smell.

Facilities were great and there was plenty of everything. Place was really clean and the information pre-provided was very helpful.

Reviewed Sep 8, 2023The location was fantastic. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed.
The single room - put in dark curtains, opposed to the blinds. The lights outside the apartment / by the lift area, shines through the bedroom, making the room very light. You cannot get dressed in the room, due to people seeing into the room from the lifts area (if the bedroom light is on). Whilst there is an inverter, the light plugged in, could not be used when there was loadshedding. Not sure if there was a problem with it. We had to take a bedside lamp and plug it in, so not to sit in the dark.
