This beautiful large home and garden has eight luxurious ocean facing guest suites, which are spacious to the extreme. The fabulously furnished suites reflect modern day Africa. Extensive lounges and terraces overlook mature gardens in the timeless setting of the thriving Dar es Salaam.

The Oyster Bay gardens are a beauty to behold. They have been professionally landscaped with an eccentric style, while in keeping with tropical surroundings with fig and flamboyant trees that are at the heart of this mature garden. This is a garden to enjoy, with lots of shady deck space, reclining sun chairs and an opportunity for the more energetic in the form of a lap pool.

Children under 12 years of age will receive a 25% reduction on the standard rates.

The Oyster Bay welcomes children and they have a small number of extra 'fold up' beds to allow a child to stay in the same suite as the parents. There are two separate floors containing a double and a twin-bedded room that, whilst not adjoining, would be suitable for a 'family' giving total privacy. There are facilities for children who would no doubt enjoy the lap pool and extensive gardens and there is also the internet connection in the Study. Meals are not a problem as children can eat what they want, when they want.
