Welcome to Port Alfred!
Our house is nearly on top of the town, overlooking the golfcourse and the sea. You will have absolutely beautiful beaches, one is `blue-flag` awarded and the eastbeach is excellent for surfing. Here you can have many different activities on the Kowie river, which flows into the Indian Ocean. There are offers like diving, horseriding and much more. Also popular is a trip to the historical town of Bathurst, where you find objects of interest from the first settlers in 1820.
When you go nearly 30km to the west, you can visit the wellknown gamepark `Kariega` which is malaria free and you can see the `Big 5` : elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo and leopard . In about 1,5 hours distance you get to the famous `Addo Elephant Nationalpark` ; because of the new entrance to the sea, they offer now the `Big 7` with whales and white sharks.
Port Alfred is exactly in the middle between Port Elizabeth and East London, so you can have an airport-transfer to both sides.
