Having spent a few days at the Ocean View Hotel was the holiday that I needed. Perched up against the side of a cliff overlooking the ocean, my stay here was a great experience. From the room service, the many favors the staff did for us, the great view, the swimming pool, and most importantly the excellent food that we... More

Just had my birthday bash with sixty people ranging from young children to the elderly! A fantastic stay and event with wonderful food, excellent service and warm friendly staff! A mere week after severe floods the hotel put on a world class spread and amazed very deserning guests with no fuss at all! Everyone was thourally impressed and can't wait... More

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ocean View Hotel. There is plenty to do for the whole family and the food was really good. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner had plenty of variety and everything tasted freshly prepared. One of the highlights was the abundance of fresh oysters. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. A wonderful place to have... More

We ended up at Ocean View after having spent a week backpacking and breaking down in Coffee Bay. The experience at Ocean View was like day and night compared to what we experienced elsewhere. While the price is slightly higher than what I expected, I must admit that I felt it was absolutely justified based on what was included, and... More

We are perturbed when we read negative reviews about the Ocean View Hotel. We were lucky to have a sea facing room and from the moment we arrived felt relaxed and welcome. We were offered lunch even though we arrived after lunch time, a nice gesture. The food was fresh, abundant and very tasty. The view and beach is lovely.... More

My husband and myself have stayed a night at Ocean View hotel 5 times in the last 9 months, as a stop-over during business trips. I do feel that some of the reviews on this site are a little unfair. Firstly, the food has consistently been abundant and delicious - plenty of choices available for the guests with different tastes.... More

We did not get along with this place, with it's taff reception stuff and weird atmosphere. It's popular with tourgroups who stay overnight, as it seems the only hotel in the bay... We ended up there, as all other places (hostels/backpackers) where fully booked. I would not go there again, as the price was just to high for what you... More

Ohhhhhhh what a great couple of days we had here. It's not fancy, it's just a simple uncomplicated easy going and friendly place to relax and eat wonderfully fresh straight out of the sea seafood and what ever else the kitchen decides to feed you. If your in the area then stay and soak in the uncomplicated lifestyle of Coffee... More

What a fantastic location to come to to relax and get away from it all. The road was far better than I expected. The service was very good and the food was excellent. The staff was also extremely helpful. This is a fantastic holiday location. The trip to 'Hole in the Wall' was superb and our guide was a bundle... More

We were disappointed by our stay at the Ocean View Hotel. On arrival the receptionist was at best civil, but no more. The running buffet at lunch and dinner time was meagre and unreplenished. Galling to see members of staff with full plates of food, leaving customers to scratch around with the left overs from the buffet. This happened 3... More
