About Ocean Grove Guest House

If you are looking for peace and quiet, then Ocean Grove Guesthouse is the place to be. The only sounds that can normally be heard are those of the sea, and the birds. The Guest House is elevated 75 meters above sea-level, only 350 meters from the shore, affording breathtaking, 180 degree sea-views.

Set on a large property, amidst beautiful gardens, shady trees and abundant bird life, Ocean Grove is the epitome of peace, beauty and relaxation.

Two rooms (Hibiscus and Orchid room), with beautiful garden-views and private access from the garden. Rooms all have TV, personal safe and tea and coffee making facilities.

Birding

Ocean Grove is a birder friendly establishment, perfectly situated on the South Coast component route of the Southern KwaZulu-Natal Birding Route. This route has a bird list of over 500 species, including 64 endemic or near endemic species and 67 red data species. The South Coast Birding Route is unique, having a variety of habitats from coastal and wetland environments to forest, woodland and grassland. It is only in the region of the South Coast Birding Route that South Africa’s two distinct avifaunas (afromontane and tropical forest) overlap, making birding in this area extremely rewarding. Specials include the northernmost population of Knysna Woodpecker and other highly sought-after species including Magpie Manikin and African Broadbill.

At Ocean Grove, guests can stroll through the gardens, under the huge, shady, indigenous trees and enjoy an abundance of bird life without leaving the property. Our guests can also visit the close-by Mpenjati, Umtamvuna and Oribi Gorge nature reserves.
