Oceana Beach and Wildlife Reserve Opens in South Africa
What’s special about Oceana Beach and Wildlife Reserve (www.oceanareserve.com), which has opened on the Eastern Cape of South Africa? For starters, it’s the only private game reserve on the beach in South Africa. Then there are the 10 private suites with wraparound balconies protected by glass walls that overlook the Indian Ocean. The suites also boast king-sized four-poster beds (shown here), his-and-hers bathrooms with double indoor/outdoor showers and spa tubs.
Ideal for an entourage, the Private Oceana House has three bedrooms with en-suite baths, a private kitchen with personal chef and wait staff.
Clients who want to chill out can surf, snorkel and swim or they can enjoy the daily game drives in a specially converted game vehicle on the reserve, which has a resident biologist to point out wild game, birds, plants, and flowers. An infinity-edge swimming pool and a two-room spa are also included in the amenity offerings.
Oceana is located halfway between Port Elizabeth and East London just outside the fishing village of Port Alfred. Complimentary transfers are provided by car from either airport or, visitors may also take a helicopter right to the reserve’s helipad.
Ocean recently joined the Mantis Collection (www.mantiscollection.com), a group of luxury boutique accommodations and game reserves throughout South Africa and the UK.
