The Oyster Box, Luxury hotel in Umhlanga, South Africa.

The Oyster Box stands along the Indian Ocean coastline, featuring two outdoor swimming pools and direct access to the beach through private grounds.

Built in 1863 as a private cottage called Oyster Lodge, the structure served as a navigation beacon for ships before transforming into a hotel in 1954.

The property maintains a collection of local art pieces and hosts regular events celebrating South African cuisine, including traditional curry buffets.

Located 20 minutes from King Shaka International Airport, the hotel provides complimentary transfers and maintains a 24-hour concierge service for guests.

The hotel functions as the official custodian of the Umhlanga lighthouse and remains the only hotel featured in South Africa's Monopoly board game edition.
