Oceana Beach & Wildlife Reserve

Although the Oceana Beach & Wildlife Reserve is situated about an hour north of Port Elizabeth – and at the far end of the Garden Route – it’s well worth the drive. From its hilltop throne with dramatic vistas of the bush, the beach, and the Indian Ocean rolling out before you, Oceana occupies pride of place.

At Oceana, exceptional game-viewing awaits, home to wildlife such as buffalo, zebra, and giraffe. Visitors can meander across dunes to the white sands by the warm waters of the ocean, blending adventure with serenity. The property promises a tranquil retreat, complete with indulgent spa services and exquisite dining, whether at the on-site restaurant or a beachside candlelit dinner.

Oceana sets the standard for five-star luxury, delivering unparalleled service in an effortlessly elegant atmosphere. A variety of plush accommodations are available, from the ocean suites with their expansive lounges opening to private decks offering 180-degree ocean views, to the homely comforts of a private house with three opulent bedrooms, lounge with fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen, and bar area, not forgetting the secluded deck plunge pool. Additional lodging choices include individually decorated lodge suites and secluded pool suites, ensuring a bespoke stay for every preference.
