Ocean View Hotel

The Wild Coast


This venerable hotel offers a great mix of old-fashioned charm and modern elements, with generous buffet meals, a lovely thatched beach bar and chalet-style rooms with private patio overlooking the sea or garden. Located at the far end of the main beach from the Coffee Bay melee, it offers activities including guided hikes and drives, kayaking outings and cultural tours.

The hotel is usually full during the sardine run (June and July) – book well ahead. It's off the main drag.
