What guests think
Across recent reviews of Oubaai Hotel Golf & Spa, guests praise the scenic golf estate setting, spacious rooms, and some friendly staff, but frequently report an aging property with operational inconsistencies and a general sense of underinvestment.
Rooms are generally large and comfortable, though many feel dated, and some guests cited brown tap water, leaks or broken air conditioning, occasional noise, and mismatched views. Dining is limited, often just a bar with a small menu, and breakfast, while usually good, can be slow; service is mixed and facilities show deferred maintenance with periodic spa closures. Expect a quiet, remote estate stay with appealing grounds but inconsistent standards.

The spa was closed the whole week and only open on weekend. Also they advertise the whale deck but they no longer provide the means to get there. So best they take that off. Otherwise was a pleasant stay with comfortable rooms.

The second room we got (after being given a room miles away from the restaurant and hotel) smelled from someone having smoked in there. In the pillows, everything. The “Club” is a waste of time. The Club Lounge just has a coffee machine in it. Nothing else.Don’t bother paying extra for that. Get a room in the main hotel otherwise you will be waiting for the ONE golf cart to move people around. (In rain in our case.) If you had a room away from the main building and it was raining, you will get wet walking to your room, with slippery floors to get to your room, and even getting wet on the golf cart. Would never go there again. Did complain to move from the original room, but the smoking room we moved to we had to put up with as it was then 10 pm. Positive? Nice shower. Negative: strange typed up message about the tap water being brown (it was) but they gave no extra water for brushing teeth or anything. We were totally overcharged for taking the Club Room, so watch out. They shouldn’t offer something that isn’t there. It was just an empty room to sit in.

Die Anlage ist sehr heruntergekommen und in der Umgebung alles in Privatbesitz, sodass man sich überhaupt nicht frei bewegen konnte. Auch der ausgeschriebene Wanderweg endete an einem Bach. Außerdem hat ein Licht im Zimmer nicht funktioniert. Ansonsten war die Einrichtung im Zimmer gut. Die Beschilderung der Anlage war ungenügend, sodass man den richtigen Weg nicht direkt gefunden hat. Beim Frühstück kam am zweiten Morgen erst auf Nachfrage eine Bedienung, um die Getränkebestellung aufzunehmen. Der Service an der Rezeption war gut und freundlich.

Far from a four star experience. The facility is aged and in a poor state of repair. Damp and mould everywhere with weathered wood and paneling and covers bent and falling off. The whole place feels like a bit of a ghost town to be honest. The porter service is only to carry your bags - you must walk. And it’s not efficient. The “all day” Cucina restaurant only serves breakfast. Very limited menu at Herold’s Bar and nothing memorable. No vibe at the bar and very poor sound on the TV. Retail centre abandoned with no shops operating. Wellness centre and gym too. Probably only half of the lights through the whole place were working. Staff attitude was mediocre at best - aligned the the feel of the facility. Rooms are large, tasteful and comfortable but dated. Suffering the same issues of damp and some aged and worn furnishings. There are no shops or restaurants in close proximity. So you only have what the facility has to offer. Given the choice again, I’d rather go to Pezula.

We got a very good price and the room was spacious and comfortable. Odd layout for the rest. No lift to room so you need to seek help if lots of luggage and no use for disabled. No bar inside it’s a good 100 metres away. No meal on offer inside the hotel but room service or over at bar. General lack of staff at breakfast so no clean laid tables. Breakfast was good and lots to choose from.

Run down, weathered and aged property. Mediocre service. Felt like a ghost town. Facilities in a poor state of repair. Big rooms, tastefully decorated but aged. No smart TV. Porter service slow and only for bags. Guests must walk. Restaurant operates with limited menu and staff. No restaurants close by - you’ll have to travel at least 20m to George. Great location for downtime but need to up their game on service and amenities and the facilities need a revamp and maintenance.

Ich weiß garnicht wo ich anfangen soll. Wir haben nach wenigen Minuten direkt wieder ausgecheckt da konnten und wollten wir nicht bleiben. Ganzes Zimmer voller fliegender Insekten. Abgewohnte beschädigte Einrichtung. Schalter hingen aus der Wand. Waschbecken lief nicht ab. Balkonmöbel waren nicht vorhanden wie bei Expedia beschrieben. Das Zimmer war die reinsten Katastrophe.

The room was spacious and well decorated. Unfortunately the room overlooked a security gate and the staff were loud with thier banter and radios which was a bit of a distraction from the serene environment. The overall hotel estate is worn and tired, looks like it has not been maintained in years. We were there for one night and wanted to go to the bar/restaurant with the view of the ocean. We were told it was full and therefore had to eat in a “pub” type restaurant next to a security gate.

Hotel is very tired! Shabby in places. Staff don’t seem that motivated ( with a couple of exceptions). Therefore it is very quiet here. Unbelievable for a 5 star hotel to only have a sports bar as evening dining option. Clubhouse reached only be shuttle and again no ‘nice’ dining option. Reviews are mainly poor and sadly I agree. Rooms very tired ( phones don’t work, carpets/curtains seen better days. Just feels empty and sad. Would not return or recommend to clients ( retired tour operators). Shame, it could be better. This should not be marketed as a 5 star product. It is far from it.

Very comfortable but the service is terrible. No bathrobes, no slippers, everything takes forever. Housekeeping is the worst. It took an hour to get 2 handtoowels, toilet roll and drinking water, which was not refreshed in the room. The next day our room was not seviced till 7pm, yes 7pm, after many phone calls and chatting with the manager. Breakfast is very good but be patient for coffee, milk etc. Dont waste your money paying extra for Oceanview, we were in room 249 and all we saw was bush with a glimmer of sea.

We were totally overcharged for taking the Club Room, so watch out. They shouldn’t offer something that isn’t there. It was just an empty room to sit in.

Die Anlage ist sehr heruntergekommen und in der Umgebung alles in Privatbesitz, sodass man sich überhaupt nicht frei bewegen konnte. Auch der ausgeschriebene Wanderweg endete an einem Bach. Außerdem hat ein Licht im Zimmer nicht funktioniert. Ansonsten war die Einrichtung im Zimmer gut. Die Beschilderung der Anlage war ungenügend, sodass man den richtigen Weg nicht direkt gefunden hat. Beim Frühstück kam am zweiten Morgen erst auf Nachfrage eine Bedienung, um die Getränkebestellung aufzunehmen. Der Service an der Rezeption war gut und freundlich.

Far from a four star experience. The facility is aged and in a poor state of repair. Damp and mould everywhere with weathered wood and paneling and covers bent and falling off. The whole place feels like a bit of a ghost town to be honest. The porter service is only to carry your bags - you must walk. And it’s not efficient. The “all day” Cucina restaurant only serves breakfast. Very limited menu at Herold’s Bar and nothing memorable. No vibe at the bar and very poor sound on the TV. Retail centre abandoned with no shops operating. Wellness centre and gym too. Probably only half of the lights through the whole place were working. Staff attitude was mediocre at best - aligned the the feel of the facility. Rooms are large, tasteful and comfortable but dated. Suffering the same issues of damp and some aged and worn furnishings. There are no shops or restaurants in close proximity. So you only have what the facility has to offer. Given the choice again, I’d rather go to Pezula.

Hotel is very tired! Shabby in places. Staff don’t seem that motivated ( with a couple of exceptions). Therefore it is very quiet here. Unbelievable for a 5 star hotel to only have a sports bar as evening dining option. Clubhouse reached only be shuttle and again no ‘nice’ dining option. Reviews are mainly poor and sadly I agree. Rooms very tired ( phones don’t work, carpets/curtains seen better days. Just feels empty and sad. Would not return or recommend to clients ( retired tour operators). Shame, it could be better. This should not be marketed as a 5 star product. It is far from it.

Very comfortable but the service is terrible. No bathrobes, no slippers, everything takes forever. Housekeeping is the worst. It took an hour to get 2 handtoowels, toilet roll and drinking water, which was not refreshed in the room. The next day our room was not seviced till 7pm, yes 7pm, after many phone calls and chatting with the manager. Breakfast is very good but be patient for coffee, milk etc. Dont waste your money paying extra for Oceanview, we were in room 249 and all we saw was bush with a glimmer of sea.

Set on a scenic, quiet golf estate with mountain and ocean views and access to hiking. It feels remote with few nearby restaurants or shops, estate security checks, and some areas requiring a shuttle or a walk.

The spa was closed the whole week and only open on weekend. Also they advertise the whale deck but they no longer provide the means to get there. So best they take that off. Otherwise was a pleasant stay with comfortable rooms.

The room was spacious and well decorated. Unfortunately the room overlooked a security gate and the staff were loud with thier banter and radios which was a bit of a distraction from the serene environment. The overall hotel estate is worn and tired, looks like it has not been maintained in years. We were there for one night and wanted to go to the bar/restaurant with the view of the ocean. We were told it was full and therefore had to eat in a “pub” type restaurant next to a security gate.

Run down, weathered and aged property. Mediocre service. Felt like a ghost town. Facilities in a poor state of repair. Big rooms, tastefully decorated but aged. No smart TV. Porter service slow and only for bags. Guests must walk. Restaurant operates with limited menu and staff. No restaurants close by - you’ll have to travel at least 20m to George. Great location for downtime but need to up their game on service and amenities and the facilities need a revamp and maintenance.

The second room we got (after being given a room miles away from the restaurant and hotel) smelled from someone having smoked in there. In the pillows, everything. The “Club” is a waste of time. The Club Lounge just has a coffee machine in it. Nothing else.Don’t bother paying extra for that. Get a room in the main hotel otherwise you will be waiting for the ONE golf cart to move people around. (In rain in our case.) If you had a room away from the main building and it was raining, you will get wet walking to your room, with slippery floors to get to your room, and even getting wet on the golf cart. Would never go there again. Did complain to move from the original room, but the smoking room we moved to we had to put up with as it was then 10 pm. Positive? Nice shower. Negative: strange typed up message about the tap water being brown (it was) but they gave no extra water for brushing teeth or anything.

We got a very good price and the room was spacious and comfortable. Odd layout for the rest. No lift to room so you need to seek help if lots of luggage and no use for disabled. No bar inside it’s a good 100 metres away. No meal on offer inside the hotel but room service or over at bar. General lack of staff at breakfast so no clean laid tables. Breakfast was good and lots to choose from.

This was our 3rd stay at this hotel and we were disappointed for the first time. It feels like things are being let go. Main restaurant isn't open for dinner so you either eat at the sports bar nearby or have to travel into a restaurant in George. We stay here for the golf, which is great but will probably go elsewhere next time around.

The hotel unfortunately is a bit run down, neglected maintenance and during our stay they were renovating Spa (closed), Lifestyle Center (closed), phone system & water system (brownish at times) which is a lot at one time. We found the entry exit procedure extremely annoying, scan vehicle, scan drivers licence, call hotel to open barrier and when they don't pick up you're left there standing. Each and every time you leave! Also ocean view (at extra cost) from our room very debatable as the golf course in front is completely built with private houses. They are your view! Chairs on our balcony full of bird droppings and not cleaned during 3 day stay, swimming towels not delivered to pool and...also annoying you can't book anything to your room so need to carry your card at all times. All in all definitely not a 4 star experience.
