Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) Reviews
Port Elizabeth is the Cinderella of seaside cities - the friendly city is much maligned for the wind that often blows during the peak December holidays, but in fact it has real champagne weather - never really too hot or too cold and that slight fizz from the wind - keeps the air clean and humidity at bay!
A family friendly city with some of the most beautiful beaches, malaria free game parks in and close to PE (GQ). The wonderful and plentiful coffee shops, sometimes spilling onto the sidewalks, reminds one of the French coffeeshop culture - just much cheaper! A multitude of excellent restaurants spread all across the city, beachfront and suburbs, offer a smorgasbord of superb multi-cultural cuisines. A variety of Accommodation is on offer at great value for money. Both family and business travellers are equally catered for. With many wedding venues within a relatively small radius of each other - Port Elizabeth with its easy access and still relatively low traffic volumes, great accommodation in the suburbs, have become a wedding destination of choice.
