Located in Port Elizabeth, in a historic building, 7.2 km from The Boardwalk, Cape Recife Lighthouse Luxury Villa is a recently renovated villa with a private beach area and bar. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, full-day security and luggage storage for guests.

We were at the end of a 3 week trip with friends so we wanted a property where we could relax together in the evening before we dropped them off at the nearby international airport which is just 20 mins away. We felt like we were at the edge of the world surrounded by a stunning beach and beautiful sea and yet we were minutes outside of Port Elizabeth. A further enormous bonus point was that we didn't have to self cater as Peter came to the house and cooked a wonderful braai with a fresh salad and baked potato. I've got a lot of dietary issues but Peter catered for me beautifully and we were all delighted with our evening supper. There's also a good selection of wines, beers and other drinks to purchase. Lin Maré was delightful to communicate with and together they made a super experience for us. I must of course mention Ashwin who lives on site and helps with everything from luggage to dish washing and showing us around the lighthouse. I've taken some lovely photos but the memories in my head will last forever even without digital images. Thank you Team Cape Recife. You excelled as hosts.

With mountain views, this accommodation features a terrace. On clear days, guests can head outside to enjoy the holiday home's outdoor fireplace or simply kick back and relax.

Many thanks to Mario and his family! We visited their place during our trip in February 2023 for a couple of nights, and it was our best accomodation experience. The house is very comfortable and nice, even luxurious. It is located outside the town, and it was an advantage for us. It will take less than ten minutes drive to get to the beautiful beach with splendid view (but not for swimming). It took us an hour and a half to go to Addo Elephant Park. There are supermarkets not far from the house. The appartment will be perfect for those loving nature and comfortable living. We wish we could have stayed for at least a week. Appartment is fully furnished, there is everything needed and everything is of high quality Very friendly host Splendid views

    A charming, cozy cabin equipped with nearly everything you'll need. The hosts are incredibly helpful and supportive, even allowing us to leave our luggage when they had other guests arriving. The breakfast was fantastic and plentiful enough for all four of us. She truly made the place feel like home.

    The bedrooms were very clean and comfortable. We spent just a night so we were limited for time so we didn’t get to spend much time outside which I hoped for cos it was really beautiful. The lounge area was very cosy with a fireplace which is what we needed cos it was a cold winters night when we arrived. This hotel was definitely good value for money.
