Discover Gqeberha’s most renowned seaside stay. Cape Recife Lighthouse Villa, occupying a landmark building within the Cape Recife Nature Reserve, is a great place to stay in Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) – truly one of the most romantic getaways in South Africa. We offer a most unique type of accommodation, close to all the major attractions of Port Elizabeth, so you can easily explore the city, while feeling a million miles away from it. The Eastern Cape, with its mild climate, renowned beauty and natural biodiversity is an outstanding destination rich with potential. Some 15 kilometres south of the pretty coastal city of Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), at the southern point of Algoa Bay, is the 366 ha (900 acre) Cape Recife Nature Reserve, proclaimed in 1973. Untouched and little-known, the Reserve is an extraordinarily beautiful and elemental stretch of wild coastal space – one of the best beaches in South Africa.
