Rude management, bedding in a pile on the beds unmade, single bed duvet for two beds pushed togther .. refused to provide double bed duvet though they did provide a second single duvet, one single blanket and one towel. when questionned we were told its the onwers decisionn and the manager had lots of eperince so they were correct. it was explained that many customers complained about the beds then the followng mornign the opposite was told to us. Never again

The view of the lagoon and flamingos was beautiful. The window glass was unfortunately not very clean, so views were slightly obscured. Value for money was good. Wifi access intermittent. Breakfast was excellent.

Loved our stay the Oyster Box Guesthouse. It was convenient to locate and perfect for a quiet new year. The room was clean and bright! The only suggestion I have is to include a water kettle in the room to boil water for tea or coffee.

The location was excellent and the staff was very good. However, drinking water in the rooms should have been part of the deal.

Amazing views with flamingos on your doorstep
Beautiful accommodation, amazing view and coveniently located. A coffee/tea station in the room would have made this a winner. I also missed a hairdryer and information details/book/brochure on the guesthouse and surroundings. Otherwise a beauty.

Lovely guest house overlooking the lagoon. Nice staff, secure parking, magnificent view of lagoon on mornings and evenings. Lots of birds - flamingos, pelicans, sand pipers, terns, gulls. Great terrace for enjoying the outdoors. But make sure you have at least partial sea-view room.

On the whole a very nice 3 day stay. Fantastic views over Pelican Bay. I couldn't sleep late in the mornings though because my room was right next to the breakfast to room. Everyone came trundling on the wooden balcony floor from 6 o' clock already. Hearty breakfast....
