Beverley is the best host you could expect from your stay: she is very caring and is also open to freely discuss about the local life so as to help you to organize some activities/travels during your stay in Port Elizabeth. I have rarely found someone so committed to her guests and their happiness. She made my stay in PE a memorable step of my travel around the country.

    Edouard is a great host - friendly, easy-going, very accommodating and accessible, and keeps the communication channels open which made the stay so easy and enjoyable. Breakfast was great - a combination of cereals, yoghurts, juices, tea, coffee, and a cooked breakfast. There might have even been fruit, I usually ignore those sorts of things (fruit) :) The weather was a bit miserable so didn't get a chance to get in the pool ... next time!
