For the second time we booked in at Ocean View Hotel. Last time in 2008 it was already amazing and so it was this time. After we had past the "pothole road" to the hotel( in 2008 it was even worse!) we received the warm and friendly hospitality we found as usual in South Africa. We booked in 2 seaview... More

We went there on our first visit to the Coffee Bay. Lovely place on the water, comfortable place with beautiful views. The place is under new management. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The food was very good and we had a delightful experience. I would certainly visit the place again if I am round the area.

Ocean view Hotel is now under new management. The place directly at a beautiful beach is breathtaking, the management is doing everything that you feel like being at home. And the food was very tasty. Bringing it to a point, I had a fabulous time. Thanks.

We had a fabulous holiday in December 2011 under new management. The rooms are tatty but they're being refurbished, the food was good, the location awesome, the potholes are what you expect in a remote part of the country. Hospitality from new management was great and I do wish them loads of luck with renovations - if all goes to... More

Since November 2012, the hotel has been under new management and wow what an improvement the new management have made, sure they have lots of work ahead of them, and I cannot wait to see the hotel in a few more months time. They are doing a fantastic job. The location is absolutely breath taking and worth visiting. Their is... More

My main reason for travelling the 540km from Durban to Coffee bay was to abseil the Hole in the Wall. I searched the web can came up with Ocean View Hotel and its only 11km from the Hole in the Wall. Excellent – or so I thought! After my 8 hour drive on roads that have more pot holes than... More

Our stay in Dec 2012 @ R1200 Dinner, bed and breakfast was a huge disappointment. Stunning view, but not at all as on their web site. An absolute rip off!!!!

There's a serious question whether one should travel the horrendous road to Coffee Bay just for the pretty site. The pot holes are so bad it takes approx 2 hours in broad daylight to drive 50 km from the main N2 highway. Make sure you do NOT plan for less or you will find yourself driving after dark as we...

The hotel needs some serious improvement. Their is a damp smell in the rooms. The linen is dirty and stained and the bath towels are torn and ancient looking. For the rate or R500 per person per night, was definitely a rip off! There was a plastic hand shower attached to the bath tub, which falls off the tap when... More
