Location is stunning. Rooms were incredibly spacious and luxurious. Staff obviously very proud of the hotel and worked hard to make our stay enjoyable.
This is not a game reserve. Any pretence to this is misplaced. But the rangers are very dedicated and obviously take pride in their work. Main disappointment was the food. If you want to put beef Wellington on the menu you'd have thought the chef would know that it's not served with raw pastry for example. Dining room is too small to have much of an atmosphere so conversations are held in whispers. Apart from the obnoxious guests who felt it was acceptable to continue business calls during mealtimes at the top of their voices. Sadly the hotel can't do anything about people's manners.

staff, views, size of room . drives. proximity to beach and easy transport there .
dining room and sitting room could easily be made so much better . the dining room is far too bright- lighting is not well thought out. Needs softer lighting , even decent size candles on tables would improve things if ambient lighting reduced. Shame not to create the right atmosphere if providing good food . Sitting room is a strange mix of clashing colours and fabrics . Not a welcoming space. wouldn’t be a massive outlay to improve it drastically and bring it up to the proper standard of a ‘luxury’ lodge.

Oceana was easily accessible from the R72 and on arrival, we had someone waiting to show us parking, carry our bags, and show us to our room. I traveled with my <6mo old baby and the staff was all so helpful in making my stay and eating experiences worthwhile, offering to hold the baby so I could find a comfortable way of eating etc... The place was cozy with fireplaces lit all over the lounges for dinner dining. The meals were all well prepared, barring one incident of a well-done lamb steak bcz it was a slow roast; but was quickly turned around as chef made cutlets from scratch. The lodge rooms were massive, typical Mantis style rooms, and a cot with baby linen was decked out in my room on arrival. They have an exquisite range of house wines complimentary during your stay. I loved the food, the room views, and the serenity of the area. We also had a custom game drive pf about an hour to accommodate the young kid. All staff is friendly and accommodative of the photo-life :-D . It was truly a serendipitous experience.
They should mark the deck area at the beach with a flag or anything to show it as a landmark. The few of us that did take the very stretchy walk down to the beach from the deck got lost coming back. We weren't able to see where we had come from. The pool area is a waterfall feature and not actually a pool you can swim from if you're in the lodges.

Oceana has the perfect location for sea and bush lovers. We had exceptional views of the sea and some wildlife grazing from our room. The rooms are opulent and spacious. The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. The office staff always went an extra mile, and even printed personal documents for me upon request. The ranger, Desmond, was quite well-informed and kept us entertained during the game drive.
The food wasn’t great at all. At breakfast time the sausage was under-cooked and the omelette too dry. Even though there is a 3 course menu for dinner, the portion sizes are just too small. We also had a problem with housekeeping not cleaning our room until we asked at 15:30 on the second day. The games room also doesn’t have a variety in games.

The tranquil & relaxed setting was absolutely refreshing & the ocean views from our suite were stunning. Kudos to the chefs for the amazing food and all the friendly and accommodating staff for being quite helpful. We enjoyed every bit of the game drive & lunch on the beach which was the highlight of our stay.
Nothing we can think of

We loved everything about the resort. The views are breathtaking. You have ocean wildlife and nature all in one. We spend hours exploring the most amazing sand dunes on the beach. The Staff go out of their way to ensure a lovely holiday and give a lot of personal attention. The food was amazing. The room was absolutely wow and very private.
Guests are not allowed to roam free on the property, even though there are no dangerous animals. You have to be accompanied by a guide.

Great hotel, very kind and engaging staff, some of the best food we had in South Africa, beautiful views over the bay and the sand dunes and a lovely little game drive with the chance to see giraffes, many kind of antelope and much more. Amazing luxury ,picnic’ lunch right down by the ocean. Brilliant way to unwind and relax before travelling home.

The food was superb, could have had a slightly varied breakfast menu though .
The gym needs a make over , it’s sun standard. The msin machine is difficult and cumbersome to use .
