The Oyster Box Hotel in Durban, South Africa, remains one of my favourite hotels. We were regulars in the days before its luxurious revamp and recall lovely teas on the terrace. It retains an ambience of home from home.
The cat curled up on the sofa, still roams the foyer and how I love the bird cage close to the front desk.

The staff are friendly, go the extra mile to ensure their guests are well cared for and delight in helping wherever they can. So, I have decided to spend a little of my time, sharing the beauty of a hotel which rates among the finest in the world. And perhaps to share their famous 'High Tea' which is an experience to indulge in.

 

 

High Tea served in the courtyard, retaining the beauty of the Colonial era.

 

The famous fine dining restaurant. An unforgetable experience.

Seating area adjacent to the foyer.

 

 

Lunch served on the terrace is informal, but caters to a high class standard.

 

 

 

 

The bar area where meals may be ordered from the terrace.

 

 

 

 

 

The outside terrace is extremely popular, except on blistering humid days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The outside car park, close to the entrace and to the left, the entrance to undercover parking.

 

Disneyworld Florida

 

Travelling to Disneyworld, we wished to experience the full 'magic' that delighted our childhood and chose a hotel that enchanted us with memories to last a life time.

The swimming pool area.

 

The excellent shopping court in the foyer of the hotel.

 

 

The food court which seems to step right out of a comic book.

 

 

Fireworks in the Magic Kingdom.

 

 

I fell in love with the house of Minnie Mouse.

 

 

The charm of Disneyworld at Christmas.
