Turndown service... room service is twice daily.

The next day we decided to have breakfast on our balcony. You can do this for a small fee ($3) for the tray charge, and you can pretty much ask for anything you want. We enjoyed having Oysters and salmon most days, though the menu is extensive and varied.




The Clock Library... a great place for a good read if you are tired of the sun.


French fries and coca cola room service


Chilled champagne


Chocolate coated strawberries and cream

On our final night we ate at their signature restaurant, the Grill Room, which turned out to be a culinary feast. The service and food was out of this world.
(Apologies for the dark pics... the lighting in the restaurant was poor)


Snails


Duck a la 'peach'


Cinnamon brownie & caramalized apple


Aunt Bea's cheese cake


A decent Vergelegen port

We were sad to leave the Oyster Box. It had been a week of fantastic rest and indulgence. The staff are the friendliest we have ever encountered, and the facilities are beyond reproach. The hotel is also well priced, at under $300 per night for what I consider to be a great product. There is very little to criticize at this hotel, and I would recommend it to anybody who visits Durban.
