Description

MyPond Hotel is an exciting, newly built hotel on the banks of the Kowie River, in Port Alfred. The car park is dominated by a 10m high Queen Palm, and the entrance by a welcoming waterfall feature. You can already feel this is somewhere a little special.

The climate is temperate, and during the 2nd World War the Royal Air Force built 5 pilot training schools in the area as they felt that it had the best weather in the Empire suited to training. The emphasis of the accommodation is on comfortable, and affordable, luxury, with stunning, very roomy (approx 50 m²), river-view Suites and practical (approx 25 m²) Classic Rooms. There are many touches that will simply make you say “Wow”, from the electronic Do Not Disturb signs to the LED lit light switches, to help you find them in the dark. All hot water, the swimming pool and air-conditioning is heated/cooled using innovative and very environ-friendly geothermal (heat from the earth) technology – a first for South Africa. Also a vast majority of lighting is low wattage energy saving globes. The vibrant Etare restaurant and stunning 60 seater Conference Centre, both opening out onto the banks of the river, add to the hotel’s ‘get-away-from-it-all’ feel. All three meals are served on a á la Carte basis, and there is a fully stocked bar. Conferences and Weddings are professionally arranged to accommodate both small parties and those up to a maximum of 120 persons. The entire hotel can also be available to being booked out for longer periods by either Conference or Wedding Parties at reduced rates. The rooms are all en-suite, air-conditioned, with LCD televisions (10 satellite channels), telephones, universal plug points, Safe, fridge and tea/coffee facilities. The Suites are equipped with I-Pod docking station radios, heated towel rails and sleeper couches. There is disabled access to all our rooms (via lift) and a full disabled toilet in our lobby. Our pricing is aimed at tempting you to spend that little more – to get a lot more in value. Guests also have access to a Swimming Pool, Wi-Fi Internet and a Spa. Port Alfred is a quaint town, with many hidden gems, quiet English pubs, Sports Bars, a TAB, beach bars for the teenagers, two shopping malls, and a host of delightful gift and antique shops. We have two designer Golf Courses nearby, a very active air training school and miles of unspoilt beaches, where even in the busy times, you may not see another soul.

We would be delighted to organize days out (boating, game-viewing, golf, birding, hiking and horse riding). With sufficient notice we are able to organize airport transfers. There is a host of activities from kite-surfing to scuba-diving, fishing, world class surfing, golf, bowls, croquet, historical trails, museums, indoor pool, malls, self drive game viewing ... or you can just relax.

Amazing

Nokubonga Vundla, South Africa

05 February 2011

My Prince and I had a wonderful stay at MyPond Hotel. We received a very warm service. It was our first time in Port Alfred and you made it a very memorable experience! We will be coming back next year!

Stayed one night only. Not the best location, dodgy surroundings. Hotel is well maintained and finishes are excellent. Room has designer look, and coordinated to perfection. Rely looks like a 4 star hotel. Well done. Unfortunately the bathroom didn’t live up to the glamour of the hotel. Although it was a modern piece of art, there was no extractor fan and both shower and basin drains blocked up once in use. I enjoy my bathroom time, so very disappointing.

Awesome time

As a young group of fellows the MyPond greated us with open arms although we could sense that they were nervous to have us stay. However, their hospitality was super and friendly, from the managers right down to the cleaning staff. The room was excellent and the food was even better. We had a great stay and we will definitely be staying at the MyPond in the near future.
