Oystercatcher Cottage

Oystercatcher Cottage & spring flowers

This Cottage was the first guest accommodation built at Elm Tree and remains the most popular.  Handmade Batavian floor tiles and the bamboo shaded stoep keep it cool during the summer months. 

Take a walk down to the shore and you will see many pairs of the endangered African Black Oystercatcher, which thrive amongst the boulders on the beaches along this part of the coast.
