Description

The Royal Guest House is situated on the Indian Ocean in Port Alfred. This quaint coastal town can be found midway between Port Elizabeth and East London in the malaria free Eastern Cape province of South Africa.

Port Alfred was started as a harbour to service the military Garrison in Grahamstown in the early 1820s and has lost none of it’s historical charm. The beaches are almost deserted and our main beach a safe Blue Flag recognised beach.

Our guest house is high on the east bank of the Kowie River which runs through Port Alfred and overlooks the peaceful marina. We are two minutes' drive from the centre of town where you have access to all modern amenities, and one minutes’ drive from the nearest beach.

We have ten luxury rooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, air-conditioning, 8 channels of DSTV, a mini bar fridge, tea and coffee facilities, telephone and hair dryer. All are fitted with double beds and two of the rooms have modern, comfortable sleeper couches as well. The addition of a pair of bunk beds makes one of these into a very user friendly family room sleeping six

The cozy lounge has a bar, television, recliner chair and plush lounge suite overlooking the marina. We also have a large log fire should the evenings turn chilly.

French doors from the lounge open onto a magnificent wooden deck (with pool and loungers) from where you can overlook the town and out to sea (sometimes spotting the odd migrating whale!)


These are the surroundings you will find yourself in at the Royal Guest House. Feel free to contact us for any arrangements to make your visit special.

This is a NON SMOKING establishment
