Esther
Oyster Creek is strategically found nestled amongst the tall trees of the exclusive “The Point” suburb of South Africa’s number one tourist destination, Knysna. Located between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, Knysna lies in the heart of South Africa’s famous Garden Route and is a playground for international investors and tourists from all over the world. Operating as a four star self-catering facility, the main lodge sleeps 10, consisting of 1 twin room, 3 double rooms and 1 luxury suite, all of which are en-suite. All but one of the suites are lagoon facing and open onto a balcony with spectacular views. The lodge also has one fully equipped self-catering unit below which is non-graded and sleeps two people.
The inspiration for Oyster Creek Self Catering interior is largely drawn from the surrounding natural beauty of the lush Knysna Forests. Spend your evenings lazing around the fireplace, or enjoying a traditional South African braai outside.
