Oystercatcher Lodge

Welcome to Oystercatcher Lodge, a hidden gem nestled along the captivating shores of Shelley Point, just a short journey from the bustling city of Cape Town. As you embark on the scenic R27 West Coast Road, you'll be transported to a place of unrivaled beauty and tranquility. Here, the Oystercatcher Lodge awaits, an enchanting villa perched right on the pristine sands of the beach.

Every guest room at our exquisite lodge boasts an en-suite bathroom and offers breathtaking views of the majestic Atlantic Ocean, which you can admire right from the comfort of your own bed. Prepare to immerse yourself in an extraordinary setting, where the natural wonders of the West Coast are presented to you in unparalleled elegance and style.

Indulge in a sumptuous breakfast served either in our elegant dining room or al fresco, overlooking the dramatic rocks and the cobalt sea during the summer months. Our restaurant offers an exceptional variety of seafood, succulent steaks, and continental cuisine, ensuring that your taste buds will be treated to an unforgettable culinary experience. Take this opportunity to unwind, savoring the blissful serenity and captivating beauty that the West Coast offers, all in the lap of luxury.

Relax and rejuvenate by spending quiet hours reading by the sparkling pool or lounging in our comfortable lounge area, where Satellite TV and a cappuccino/espresso machine are always at your disposal. Treat yourself to a refreshing drink from our well-stocked bar and venture out onto the terrace, where you can witness the breathtaking spectacle of magnificent sunsets painting the sky with vivid hues. As the weather turns chilly, gather around the cozy fire while indulging in a glass of sherry or glhwein, or perhaps savor one of the exquisite wines sourced from the region.

The lodge enjoys a privileged location, providing a front-row seat to observe the awe-inspiring Southern Right whales that frolic and give birth along these shores throughout most of the year, often accompanied by playful dusky dolphins. For those looking to add a touch of adventure to their stay, a nine-hole golf course is just a leisurely stroll away from the lodge, beckoning guests to tee off amidst breathtaking surroundings.

At Oystercatcher Lodge, we cater to every guest's needs and desires. Whether you are on a blissful honeymoon, require facilities for the disabled, seek a venue for conference workshops, wish to bask in the refreshing waters of our swimming pool, or simply appreciate the convenience of having multilingual staff (German, French, and Italian) at your service, we are here to make your stay unforgettable. During the appropriate season, the lodge's surroundings come alive with vibrant displays of wildflowers, providing a feast for the eyes. Please note that we regretfully cannot accommodate children under the age of 12 years.

Escape to a sanctuary where luxury meets nature, and allow Oystercatcher Lodge to transport you to a world of unparalleled beauty and serenity. Your journey to the West Coast starts here.

"My wife and I had an amazing time at the Oystercatcher! Sue and Luc are amazing people and made us feel welcome the moment we stepped in. The lodge is something special. From watching the dolphins and seals to having an amazing walk on the beach just outside your room. Thank you thank you very much......Divan & Hester"

"As if the views aren't enough. This holiday accommodation exceeded any expectations I could have possibly had. I go on many mini vacations and choosing Oyster Catcher was definitely the best decision I could have made. I am so grateful and happy with the service and quality in which the apartments are kept."

"Sue & Luc have a lot to be proud of. Location is stunning, facilities brilliant and service top notch. Sue even contacted us weeks prior to arrival to ask if she can book our dinners out as Paternoster/St Helena Bay restaurants book out weeks in advance. Great start to our Honeymoon with a bottle of bubbly in our room to welcome us!"

"The most beautiful place on earth!"

03 August 2005

"I spent a weekend at the Oystercatcher Lodge and it was absolutely amazing. Luc and Sue were born to host....I have no doubt in my mind. From the friendly welcome, the beautiful decor, the 'loud' silence broken only by the sound of the see outside, the delicious breakfast and the Cattle Barron restaurant, it was all just perfect.My weekend stay was therapeutic to my soul and I would recommend the lodge to anyone. I think every South African should visit the lodge at least once, that way we'll have a much calmer society.They deserve more than 4 stars for service alone, so if anyone has a spare star or two kindly send it to Luc and Sue please.
