"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.The beaches are almost deserted and our main beach is 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 a one minute's drive will get you to the nearest beach. We have ten luxury rooms, all with bathrooms, air-conditioning, 8 channels of satellite, 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!)"
