Pragtige plekkie, baie lekker gekuier, jul sal ons weer sien!

Baie gasvry, 'n netjiese en skoon plekkie, alles wat mens benodig. Ons kan rustig raak, weg van die stad se gewoel.

Rus en vrede.

Ons het baie lekker in Oesterbaai gekuier, dit was 'n welverdiende blaaskans na wat alles in 2020 gebeur het. Oesterbaai is lekker klein met geen inkopiesentrums nie, geen verkeersopeenhopings nie en geen moeilikheid om op die strand uit te kom nie. Oesterbaai is 'n plek waar jy gaan om te rus.

Rest and peace.

We had a great time in Oyster Bay, it was a well-deserved break after everything that happened in 2020. Oyster Bay is nice and small with no shopping centers, no traffic jams and no difficulty getting to the beach. Oyster Bay is a place where you go to rest.

Great place, great stay!

We were pleasantly surprised with our self catering unit. Dirkie and Johan are fantastically friendly hosts. Our kids loved the entire experience and of course, Oyster Bay showed us what a hidden gem she is. I definitely recommend Oyster Bay B&B.

Absolutely amazing - loved every minute of my holiday. It was so good to be back at Oyster Bay after 30 odd years. The units we booked were very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Well situated and an easy walk to the beach. I will definitely recommend to my friends and family and I will definitely without a doubt be back. Dirkie and Johan were very accommodating and extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for everything.

Pragtige, skoon en luukse verblyf.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur die gaspaartjie en het dadelik welkom gevoel. Die chalet is pragtig ingerig en luuks. Mens stap net oor die groot, wit duine en dan is jy by die see. Baie lekker gebly!

We were kindly received by the host couple and immediately felt welcome. The chalet is beautifully furnished and luxurious. You just walk over the big, white dunes and then you are at the sea. Very nice stay!

Netjies en skoon, maar onprakties.

Alles was skoon en netjies en ons was vriendelik ontvang. Die uitleg van die kamer is egter donker en onprakties. Ons kon glad nie ons gordyne ooptrek nie, aangesien die venster direk op die kombuis van die aangrensende kamer uitkyk, letterlik 5 meter van jou bed af.

Neat and clean, but impractical.

Everything was clean and tidy and we were kindly received. However, the layout of the room is dark and impractical. We couldn't open our curtains at all, as the window looks directly onto the kitchen of the adjoining room, literally 5 meters from your bed.

Wonderlike, gerieflike, gasvrye verblyf wat nog 'n besoek regverdig.

Dit is werklik 'n plekkie om van die stadsgewoel te ontsnap en die skoon, vars seelug te geniet en jou batterye te herlaai. Wonderlike geselsies met Johan en Dirkie gehad, en weereens dankie vir die lekker koffie saam gedrink.

Hul het vir ons soos familie gevoel.

Rustig en veilig weg van die stad se gewoel. Stap af strand toe, gly resies van 'n sand duin af, ry perd op die strand en vergeet van die wêreld daar buite. Pragtige sonsondergange en natuurskoon. Ons 2 klein dogtertjies het gehuil oor Oesterbaai en oom Johan en Tannie Dries! En moenie van Loeloe vergeet nie! Sal definitief terugkom.

Relaxing and safe form the buzz of the city. You can walk down to the beach, race down the sand dunes, go for a horse ride and forget about the world out there. Beautiful sunsets and nature. Our 2 small daughters cried about Oyster Bay, Oom Johan and Tannie Dries! And don't forget Loeloe! We will definitely be back.

Ons was net na Nuwejaar vir een week by Oyster Bay B&B.

As 'n gereelde sakereisiger het ek al in verskeie B&B's oorgebly. Oyster Bay B&B se uitleg is prakties en perfek vir 'n seevakansie. Stapafstand van die strand maak dit ideaal, want jy hoef nooit bekommerd te wees oor parkering nie. Braaigeriewe is beskut teen die elemente, maar gerieflik en prakties. Die afwerking is stylvol en aandag aan detail maak dit gesellig vir 'n gesin van 4 om gemaklik vakansie te hou.Die eenheid was pynlik netjies en amper klinies skoon, wat 'n mens die gemoedsrus gee dat jy in goeie hande is. My voertuig kon voor die eenheid 80% van die dag in koelte staan, en ek het nie een oomblik gevoel dit is onveilig nie. Vir lui lekker bekostigbare seevakansie is daar nie 'n ander opsie as Oyster Bay B&B nie. Oom Johan en Tannie Drikie het ons as familie ontvang en ons sal verseker weer vir hulle gaan kuier. Tien uit tien vir 'n puik juweel in Oesterbaai.

We stayed at Oyster Bay B&B for one week just after New Years.

As a frequent business traveler, I have stayed in several B&Bs. Oyster Bay B&B's layout is practical and perfect for a seaside holiday. Walking distance to the beach makes it ideal as you never have to worry about parking. Braai facilities are sheltered from the elements, but comfortable and practical. The finish is stylish and attention to detail makes it cozy for a family of 4 to holiday comfortably. The unit was painstakingly neat and almost clinically clean, which gives you the peace of mind that you are in good hands. My vehicle was able to park in front of the unit 80% of the day in the cool, and I never once felt it was unsafe. For a lazy and affordable seaside holiday, there is no other option than Oyster Bay B&B. Uncle Johan and Aunt Drikie received us as family and we will certainly visit them again. Ten out of ten for a great gem in Oyster Bay.

Skoon, netjies, baie vriendelike diens en heerlike ontbyt. Sal weer daar bly!

Dit was heerlik om in 'n skoon, baie netjiese en ruim gastehuis te slaap. Die slaapkamer en badkamer is lekker groot, maar die ekstra sitkamertjie by elke kamer is 'n bonus. Ons het die heerlikste sjampanje-ontbyt Kersoggend gekry en is saam met Dirkie en Johan Marx kerk toe voor ons die Tuinroete verder verken het. Ons is hartlik verwelkom en baie gasvry behandel. Ons sal hulle beslis by almal aanbeveel. Dankie vir die elektrisiteit wat ons vir 2 dae kon gebruik om die yskas en vrieskas van ons 4x4 waentjie se battery te herlaai - teen geen ekstra koste!

Clean, tidy, very friendly service and delicious breakfast. Will stay there again!

It was wonderful to sleep in a clean, very neat and spacious guest house. The bedroom and bathroom are nice and big, but the extra sitting room with each room is a bonus. We had the most delicious champagne breakfast on Christmas morning and went to church with Dirkie and Johan Marx before exploring the Garden Route further. We were warmly welcomed and treated very hospitably. We would definitely recommend them to everyone. Thank you for the electricity we were able to use for 2 days to recharge the fridge and freezer of our 4x4 van's battery - at no extra cost!
