While you're here

Make a holiday of it

Gqeberha in December is beaches, bush and long evenings. If you're travelling this far, these are the places we'd point you to between the two celebrations.

Hobie & Kings Beach

Blue-flag sand right in the city. Perfect for a slow morning swim before the day's celebration.

Addo Elephant National Park

About an hour's drive. A half-day self-drive can easily give you elephants, zebra and warthog.

Boardwalk & Something Good

Beachfront dining, a casino and easy sundowners looking over Algoa Bay.

Route 67 & Donkin Reserve

Sixty-seven public artworks climbing through the old town, celebrating Mandela's 67 years of service.

Bayworld & Cape Recife

Great for guests travelling with children — museum, tidal pools and a lighthouse walk.

Sunday markets

Try the Boardwalk or Baakens Valley markets for local craft, coffee and biltong to take home.
