“A great spot outside the city”
The location is just outside the main hub of Port Elizabeth, which was perfect for us as we were travelling and had no need to be right in the city centre. It's not far off the N2, so it is a perfect stopover or location to stay for longer if you're mostly touring around the area and not just visiting the city.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Special thanks to Mr. Rukas, who patiently waited for us even though we arrived very late from out of Port Elizabeth. His friendly and welcoming attitude made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this guesthouse!
