Inspired by The Oyster Boxs original, architecture with four magnificent tole and ceramic chandeliers purchased from the Savoy Hotel in London, natural sunlight and towering Palms, The Palm Court is the venue for the legendary High Tea each afternoon. Its also a favourite meeting spot for casual dining.

High Tea is a lengthy, leisurely affair with live piano music providing a welcome addition to the occasion. All pastries and baked goods are prepared on the property by our wonderful pastry team. The high tea table is a visual and taste spectacle of sumptuous treats, with everything from freshly baked scones, pastries, quiches and cakes, to finger sandwiches and savouries.

    We loved the high tea experience. The food looked (and was) amazing. The service was wonderful and we felt really looked after with some fun along the way. Would absolutely recommend this

    Our afternoon High Tea was lovely! It was a highlight of cruise. We saved over $200 booking directly with OBH. It was truly an elegant event. The savories and sweets were outstanding! Notdo was quite helpful and friendly. The anniversary and birthday balloons were a very nice touch. The gentleman who gave us a gift of macaroons was exquisitely dressed and very kind. Loved the setting the third floor bar and the magnificent view of the coastline. If we ever return to Durban we will experience Hig Tea again. We highly recommend the classy and delicious event.
