It's a big mall with different shops and a food court where you get to enjoy eating woth your family or friends. Lines can sometimes be long but it goes fast from my personal experience some might disagree. It's a good place to shop if you looking for a variety of shops from local to high class.

I was at Greenacres Shopping Centre a few days ago but wasn't there to have fun or anything. I was accompanying a college buddy of mine who went at the FNB branch that's in Greenacres Shopping Centre. Overall, Greenacres Shopping Centre is an attractive & spotless mall. It wasn't my first time. I was born & still living in Port Elizabeth, I've visited Greenacres Shopping Centre countless of times, I can't even keep count.

I had the privilege of watching a game from the presidential suite. The food was really good. Staff were quite friendly, except this one lady who was belligerent on being racist, sending black people away for being under-dressed while she would consider letting others in the same dress-style go in, it was appalling. Otherwise, I really enjoyed watching the game from this vantage point.

Bayworld

(164)
Museum
Convention center
Bayworld is a long-standing museum that offers a family-friendly experience with exhibits showcasing maritime and historical artifacts, as well as engaging animal shows and handling sessions. Visitors can explore the natural and cultural history of the area while observing marine life in the oceanarium and encountering indigenous snake species. Adjacent to Bayworld is the Port Elizabeth Museum, which features diverse exhibitions ranging from dinosaurs to maritime history. Daily presentations include seal and penguin showcases, along with interactive sessions with snakes.
I came here a few times already. This place must have looked amazing in its prime and when it was well kept. Now the place looks and feels old. Dirty and just dead. Still pretty cool though. They have a nice museum to go through, some tortoises, plenty of snakes, from small to could eat two whole people kind of snakes, the museum is pretty cool. It’s what I went there for. My only complaint is that I wish I could see this place in its prime.
Caleb N — Google review
Went to bayworld the place is not too expensive but the ocean part was closed and we could only visit the dinosourus, meuseam and the reptiles. The gift shop was closed and years later it is still saying coming soon . Some of the specimens was dry or broken. Some of the displays was of or lights do not work. Some displayed objects was full of dust The place really needs a revamp or maintenance as you will see the place is not getting maintenance on a regular basis. Some people who work there is bias against some of the visitors as they will tell you no food and or drink allowed but when you walk up the stairs not only will you see the staff member munch on a burger you will also see other visitors eating and drinking. There was also a meuseam tour but we were not given the opportunity to join the tour with the guide
Mrs.B — Google review
Bayworld was once a treasured destination in Port Elizabeth. It held a special place in the hearts of locals and tourists, known for its engaging exhibits, vibrant marine life, and educational experiences. Families would visit with excitement, children wide-eyed as they watched dolphins leap through the air, or wandered through the museum filled with displays that brought the natural world to life. It was a place that inspired curiosity and created lasting memories. But those days feel like a distant dream. Today, Bayworld is a heartbreaking sight. What once stood as a symbol of pride and learning has been reduced to a decaying, neglected space. The animal enclosures are in a dreadful state. Trash is scattered in and around them, with no effort made to keep the areas clean or safe. In some cases, there are even dead animals left in the enclosures, a truly disturbing sign of how far standards have fallen. It is difficult to understand how such a lack of care has been allowed to continue. The entire facility feels forgotten. Dust clings to every surface, and windows are so dirty they block out the light. Once vibrant and informative displays have remained unchanged for over a decade, making the museum feel more like a time capsule than a living, educational space. Nothing has been updated, improved, or even maintained. The signs of decay are everywhere, from broken fixtures to faded posters and empty exhibit rooms. Visitors who remember Bayworld in its prime can only feel dismay at the contrast. There is no sense of progress or rejuvenation. Instead, the space feels abandoned, not just physically but in spirit. The energy that once made Bayworld a place of joy and discovery has been completely lost. The sadness is made worse by the knowledge of what it used to be. It was a place that held potential to educate and inspire, a place that could have evolved and remained relevant. But that opportunity has been squandered. Bayworld now serves as a grim reminder of what happens when a place is left to deteriorate without vision or care. The community deserves better. The animals deserve better. And the memories of what Bayworld used to be deserve more than this slow and painful decline. Until serious changes are made, it will remain not only a disappointment but a disgrace.

Best time to visit this place is during school days. The place seems a bit old inside but there is soo much great things to learn about the Eastern Cape here.

We were welcomed by the friendly staff, they informed us that the aquarium is closed due to construction. The museum is big, has a variety of things to look for. It was the first time I see fashion section in a museum. What was more interesting was a section that contains a list and things that happened first in PE. The snake section is something else, saw the biggest python. It was a nice experience, hope after the constructions the place will be maintained to standard.

The museum is good, reptile park was ok. Unfortunately the aquarium was under maintenance and couldn't go there. A lot of the museum things could have been kept more cleaner, it has accumulated a bit of dust over the years especially the ones sealed inside a case.
Thilipan S — Google review
It was lovely seeing the penguins and seals and was very educational but the place needs work. Part of the aquarium has been closed down. I really hope that the necessary renovations can be done soon to return the aquarium to its former glory. The animals are in good condition but they deserve better. The museum was very interesting and much bigger than I expected, I actually ran out of time and didn't get through everything. It's seen better days but all in all Bayworld was still a really fun experience!
Michaela — Google review
The animals are not being kept well after. Even plastic in the cages. It honestly so sad. You can see how depressed those poor babies are. The crocodile doesn’t even have water. They. Need. To. Be. Taken. Care. Of. It feels like walking into a graveyard.

St George's Park, the oldest park in Port Elizabeth, is home to the St George's Cricket Oval. Visitors can enjoy cricket matches and admire the historical cricket ground with fantastic views of the action. The park offers picturesque surroundings and a bistro and pub for entertainment. While some visitors found the stadium clean and well-maintained, others noted issues with restroom cleanliness and long queues during events. Despite this, many appreciated the overall experience at this majestic venue in Nelson Mandela Bay.
Best cricket atmosphere in South Africa hands down!!! Betway T20 here is absolutely amazing, the atmosphere is electrifying, the brass band is amazing and being from the eastern cape and supporting the home team on home grounds is rewarded with complimentary shirts, bucket hats, flags and all other sorts of goodies apart from entertainment. A visit here is a must!!!

45 minutes to get out of the parking yesterday. Tried to call center management, phone just rings and rings, no answer. Do something about the navigation of traffic on weekends.Address parking structure. So many bad comments here saying this, you reply saying "we'll do better" - where? Those comments were years ago. Why not get people directing traffic flow on a weekend. People are selfish and will not allow right of way. It's wild to wait 45 minutes to leave a shopping center. And it was that case at every single exit.

Outdoor Activities
Sardinia Bay Beach, located near Port Elizabeth, is a hidden gem offering a secluded and pristine coastal experience. Accessible via Sardinia Bay Road, this unspoiled shoreline features golden sands and clear waters, perfect for long walks, swimming in rockpools, and surfing. The beach is also known for dolphin and whale watching during migration season.
Sards is one of my very favourite peaches in the world - a little bit of a pain to get to work with the parking and the Sand dunes you have to climb over but well worth it The ocean is amazing, but the sand is spectacular. It’s light and fluffy and crisp and clean with tiny particles that you don’t see in any other beach.

Beautiful beach, Sand dunes and surround. Parking maybe not big enough for time of yr (Dec), but using side parking on road suffices. Ambulance & staff on duty which is great for safety. Food & ice cream stall in parking lot. Public toilets.

Been here many times. Have always had a pleasant experience. Beautiful little to no trash. The ocean is just gorgeous. Nice hike along the left if you’re facing the beach, have never gone to the end of the hike, but a pretty nice one. Quite windy at times though. Perfect for going on a date, going with family and just hanging out with friends. I have no complaints or at least nothing to nope about. A pretty cool place to go to, I’d definitely suggest it:

A beach that has relatively comfortable sand. The highlight of the beach are the sand dunes which are decently beautiful and the higher you go on the dunes the more untouched they are. No water sport activities here.
Allen L — Google review
Wow, simply wow! This is by far my favourite beach as of today. Beautifully clean (4 lovely people were constantly picking up trash), spectacular views, excellent swimming, a lifeguard which is super helpful and friendly (not there the second time we went), dunes (my poor legs) and dog friendly as well. The only negatives I can think of is that the ice-cream by the parking is ridiculously overpriced and that there aren't toilets facilities available. Those two things on their own are not enough to reduce the score though. My kids loved it and we'll be back for sure.
Beylie — Google review
A beautiful beach away from the hustle and bustle in town. The beach itself is spotless without the broken bottles often found at other beaches. Just be prepared to climb up a steep sand dune to get to the water, the walkway is no longer accessible. The perfect place to come in the evening to relax.

Wimpy is a casual eatery belonging to a well-established chain, offering a menu filled with comforting food such as burgers and mixed grills. The quality of the food seems to vary depending on the chosen burger, but overall it receives positive reviews. However, the kiddies menu has let some customers down due to the small size of the burgers served. It is highly recommended for breakfast options only. On a brighter note, the dessert selection is diverse and enjoyable.
I had to work from Wimpy for a couple of days while I was in town and I absolutely loved the food and enjoyed the service I got. There’s only one charging port but it was always available for me to use.

Wimpy at Greenacres is the worst Wimpy ever.I definitely recommend to not support this place.The owner phones me regarding a extremely bad issue with the breakfast and tells me that eggs have shells and its a mistake that I had shells all over my food.I will ensure this Wimpy loses business as to treat a customer like that is appalling. Rather support Sunridge Wimpy you get exceptional service and top quality food. Not a plate covered in egg shells and oil

I don't go to Wimpy regularly anymore but this Wimpy is really in a class of it's own. From, reception, service and quality of the food. Unfortunately being inside the mall I only gave them a three. We had a function their with our staff and even the owners were taking part by giving applause when we handed over the awards. I can highly recommend anyone in Port Elizabeth to feel free to support them and be rest assured that you will receive great service.

The experience was a pleasant one. I must say I haven't been a big fan of wimpy of recent times because it's become very system orientated down to counting chips 😅 The experience I have had recently at the walmer branch was nice because they weren't shy with portions and the burger,chips and milkshake special was made with love.The waitress and service was good. Definitely value for money 💰 I would hesitate to recommend wimpy but I think they deserve a second chance. Well at least the walmer branch 😌 Check photos below 📸👇

What a treat on Mother’s Day!♥️ True to Greek cuisine - very tasty, large portions and a great ambiance! We had a sushi starter with big pieces to our surprise. We couldn’t finish this seafood platter for 2 after the sushi😜But our leftovers turned out to be a good home light supper. This place is a MUST! Safest to make a booking if on a weekend. If you’re in Gqeberha for 2 nights - 1 day must be at Coachmans Restaurant and the other night La Kouzina. It’s the same owners - so a double treat over 2 days 🥂

What a disappointment! I am not one to ever complain, but...... Our first experience and our last!! My husband and I went last night for dinner to celebrate our 15 year anniversary and we left there feeling very unhappy and disappointment. I cannot belive we paid what we paid for the food we received! We eat out quite often and dont mind spending money on quality food, but I am sorry! The food was disgusting!! Especially the beef snitchel! All my husband could taste was the crunchy batter that turned into a paste after a few chews and the meat was so thin he could not even taste the meat! The Moussaka wasn't great, very mediocre, actually made me feel ill! The quality of the food is not good at all... We also had the prawn and halloumi skewer and the calamari heads for starter, again it was not great. The service was not up to scratch. We were sitting and watching how the waitresses were standing at the bar doing nothing for long, while we were sitting without drinks and had our finished plates on the table (for long). They need to be more awake! One of the drinks we received was wrong! My husband ordered a brandy and coke, when it eventually arrived, he realised after a few sips it was a Spice gold and coke, which he doesn't enjoy! We did mention it and all we got was 'So sorry about that'... No attempt to correct the wrong!! We paid for a drink that he did not drink! This was a very unsatisfactory experience and just put a damper on our special evening!

Exceptional! We loved this restaurant we had to go back twice while visiting PE for a weekend. The authentic Greek tapas were our favourite. The service was brilliant - also loved the classy outfits that the waitresses wear. The menu offers something for everyone from Greek to pastas, pizzas and even sushi. We also saw platters of sushi going out and it looked amazing! Sorry we couldn’t try it too. The cocktails also get a 10/10. Thank you for the most enjoyable dining experiences 🤗

Came here for my anniversary and was not disappointed! Decor: 10/10 - what better place than to watch the moon rise over the ocean Food 10/10- I tried a range of food from the mezze to the sushi (sushi is probably some of the best I have tasted ever) Drinks- 10/10 - a wide cocktail menu and one of the few places in Gqeberha you can find a decent martini. Bartender seemed a bit overwhelmed though. Service - 10/10 - our waitress Nicola was very attentive and was very efficient I recommend booking if you want a verrandah seat

My boyfriend and I went here for a date. The environment is lovely and it shares the ocean view with Ocean Basket and Coachman that's upstairs. The decor is beautiful and the service was nice. They have a lot of menu options from food and drinks. I believe they can cater for any one because there are burgers, pasta, pizza, seafood, grills, sushi, etc on the menu. It wasn't busy when we were there so we didn't wait long for our food and drinks. We had burgers which was very nice, and they weren't stingy on the toppings! Some couple close to us had pizzas and that look amazing. Trying their pizzas would definitely be my next choice when I visit again!

De Kelder Restaurant in Port Elizabeth offers a perfect balance of quality and price, making it a top choice for dining. The menu features unique and delicious starters like kataifi prawns and a daring trio of warthog, springbok, and crocodile carpaccio. For mains, the crayfish thermidor and seafood extravaganza are standout dishes. The restaurant also boasts an extensive wine selection.
This has to be the best restaurant in PE if it blows most top restaurant in Cape Town away. Never had such succulent beef fillet before. The berry pavlova is top dessert choice too! Would highly recommend a visit!

Amazing option for a nice dinner in Port Elizabeth. The food was great - both the Springbock and the Kudu. Dessert was also on point. You also have to try their bread with a garlic butter, courtesy of the house. Great service by Lwazi - very polite and attentive.

Good. Its 4. What was awesome was fresh rock oysters. And the real garlic snails as starter. What lacked was the bar. Old Fashion far away what it is. Starter. Prawns in cheese and crunb. Guys. Think about it. But mains amazing good. That would be a 7 star for the service. From the reception lady to our waiter Ben. Ben took feedback and gave recommendation. Rare to find. If the kitchen would hold up the standard of this amazing service over 4 hours I would give all. But still. Highly recommend for PE.

We are in port Elizabeth for just one night ready to start the garden route. Went for a walk to find somewhere for dinner, and stumbled on to De Kelder. Location is great and decor nice. Cannot speak highly enough of our lovely server Natasha. She was so kind and friendly and recommended dishes not on the main menu- the octopus starter is single handedly the best octopus we have ever had! The steak my husband had was delicious and my prawn dish was fantastic- Tash recommended to combine the 3 sauces into one and it was amazing! Wish we had more time in PE to come back- it’s well worth it!

Now this is a place you just HAVE to visit- friendly staff, beautiful location , expensive but for what you get , reasonable prices. My wife loves her chops, I love my T-bone- the food is always done to perfection and the little loaf of hot bread at the beginning just makes one linger for the next course! Highly recommended and for us, many many for do-overs!!

Day 2

South side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the south side side of town. Start the day off with Baywest Mall, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Holmeleigh Farmyard. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

This is a nice mall. It has every shop you could need. It has plenty of restaurants and a food court. There is also a nice games area for kids with 10 Pin Bowling and Bumper Cars. The circular design of the mall is great. When browsing all the shops, you end up back where you started so don't need to trek all the way back.

Overall not a bad mall, but for YEARS now I get the feeling that the Air-conditioning in this mall is not fully functional. I can't spend more than an hour without starting to feel hot, like there's zero fresh air inside the building. Thought with the new owners taking over this would've been solved, but still a problem

Situated along N2 towards Cape Town if one is from Cape Town and all Towns along N2 is the first Mall when you enter Gqeberha the mall is big has all the shops . The place is clean and welcoming from outside and inside. Due to the fact that is a busy place it has paid parking lot. The place is is also a tourist attraction. I will always recommend tourist to visit the place when they are around Gqeberha they will not regret visiting the place .

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Kragga Kamma Game Park is a nature preserve located just a short drive from the city, offering a sanctuary for various rare animal species such as white rhinos, buffalos, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, nyalas, bonteboks, and lechwes. Visitors can opt for self-drives or moderately priced guided game drives to observe these animals in their natural habitat.
I loved it! It’s beautiful, secluded and has the best views of the sunset and sunrise. Staff was amazing and friendly, morning game driver super lekker. Food was okay, overall, stunning place for a retreat.
NOTHANDO S — Google review
I was hoping to see rhinos or giraffes on my own and therefore chose the self-drive option in the park. According to the description, the roads were supposed to be well-maintained and suitable for regular vehicles. However, this does not reflect the reality at all. The tracks are in such condition that driving without an SUV or 4x4 is problematic – especially due to the low ground clearance of standard cars. If it rains, some parts could even become dangerous. In my opinion, the phrase “well-maintained roads” is highly exaggerated and misleading, especially for rental car drivers. I immediately aborted the drive and exited the park again – I didn’t see any animals, but I didn’t mind. My car is more important to me. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I would only recommend the self-drive if you have a proper off-road vehicle. That said, I want to mention that the young man at the gate was very kind, friendly, and helpful.

Came to the Kragga Kamma Game Park for a self drive viewing. I sure wish I was told to bring a car with a high suspension as the trails do get a bit tricky as you drive, but seeing the different animals and at your own pace is definitely something I recommend. Some of the animals actually come closer to the cars so you can stop and view or take pictures of them. Definitely a great experience and it's R150 a person which is quite affordable 😊

Sights & Landmarks
Children's amusement center
Wedding venue
Located 26 km from the city center, Holmeleigh Farmyard in Port Elizabeth is a popular animal touch farm for children. It offers various activities such as feeding farm animals, petting bunnies, milking cows, interacting with peacocks, riding ponies and taking tractor rides. The farm provides close-up experiences with a variety of animals including goats, sheep, pigs, alpacas, donkeys and more.
Holmeleigh Farm is more than a petting farm, it's become a landmark in this area. We no longer live in the Eastern Cape, but whenever we're in the area, we still make time to visit with the kids. It's one of the best things to do on weekends or holidays as a fam. Feed the animals, take a tractor ride, put the kids on a horse, have a lunch or book a party. You won't ever be disappointed. The prices are beyond reasonable, everything is clean and tidy, staff are friendly and helpful and the kids love it and don't want to leave. I mean, who doesn't like feeding animals and going for a ride on a tractor? We've had a kids party here too, once. It was fabulous! For little ones' there are few venues that can beat the experience. I've also attended a wedding here some years ago which was equally splendid. The lunch offerings are decent and well priced. Ablutions are clean and easy to find. Parking is ample and signage from the road is clear. There is a short gravel road to the venue but this is easily managed with a small car. I look forward to our next stop at this lovely and memorable place in our hearts.

Wimpy is a well-established chain with a relaxed and casual atmosphere. They offer a diverse menu featuring burgers, mixed grills, and other comforting dishes. This particular location is known for its popularity, so it's best to be patient during peak times. The staff are friendly and attentive, always ready to assist customers in finding the perfect seating option. Visitors highly recommend Wimpy for its out-of-this-world waffles that can be customized with extra sauce.

Wimpy food is most of the time good, but unfortunately Baywest Mall Wimpy has let us down one too many times. We have walked in waited for over 10 minutes without any acknowledgement from staff at the counter, because they were too busy on their phone and we ended up walking out and eating somewhere else at Baywest. Please note that this happened to us more than once and that other customers has been given menus, greeted and seated in the time that we were ignored completely by staff working there. We have decided that we will never support Wimpy at Baywest again, because of this unfair treatment.

Upon arriving at Baywest Mall, we found no sign that dogs were not allowed. I now have photos to prove this. We took our Yourkshure Dog with us. We arrived at Wimpy, but nobody approached us to guide us to a seat. We then proceeded to the furthest outer corner and sat down. None of the waiters approached to indicate that the dog was not allowed. After completing our lunch, the manager approached to complain about the dog. As always with Wimpy, the food was excellent, but at this venue, the service was not. The service of JayBay Fountains Mall Wimpy is probably the best Wimpy in South Africa and so much more friendly and accommodating. Deon Louw

I normally enjoy your burgers and pies, but decided to try your new crispy chicken burger, it's got to be the worst chicken burger I've ever eaten.

A fast food outlet that delivered good value for money. I always have had good pies from them. There is a regular flow of customers through their shop, indicative of good tasty takeaways. I normally do not have a long wait, however they are quite happy if you go shopping and they will have your order ready for your return. Enjoy your meal.

Restaurant

Nestled in Gqeberha, Grass Roof Farm Stall and Restaurant has quickly become a beloved dining spot since its establishment in 2013. The unique eatery features a distinctive grass-covered roof designed by architect Dal Venables, making it a standout attraction. Emphasizing farm-to-table dining, the restaurant prides itself on using fresh organic produce from their own farm to create hearty and flavorful country-style meals.
Note: this review is for the trail at Grassroof, not the restaurant. I did the R20 hike today with my dog and was pleasantly surprised by how relaxing and well-thought-out it was. The trail is easy to follow, clearly marked, and ideal for a laid-back Sunday morning stroll. There are distance markers along the way, plus a bench and a bin for poop bags... small touches that make a big difference. Although dogs need to be on a lead (something to keep in mind if you prefer off-lead walks), the trail is safe and scenic, and I felt completely comfortable hiking alone. My dog loved it too, even on a leash! We passed through beautiful paddocks and saw horses, which added an unexpected moment of calm and delight to the morning. Highly recommend for solo hikers, dog lovers, and anyone in need of a peaceful reset. 🌞🐾

The Start of Sacramento Trail is a popular 8-kilometer return hike from Schoenmakerskop to Sardinia Bay, offering some of the best coastal views in Port Elizabeth. The trail starts at the Skoenmakerskop cannon on Marine Drive and can be customized to varying lengths, ranging from 5km to 8km per leg. With minimal elevation and an easy rating, it provides opportunities for side paths and circular trail experiences.
Breathtaking views is the name of the game here. Beautiful view of the ocean, and is perfect for sunset watching. Wear some comfortable shoes as it's also great for walking.

So we started our hike by the board with the map. It was a beautiful sunny day. Firstly, we decided to keep to the left of the trail along the beach. Please be aware that the trail is not well marked. I really think that this trail can benefit from a few more markers along the way because over the rocks, the path disappears. Anyways, just keep going until you see the towering dunes of Sardinia Bay. It's a really gorgeous beach. 😍 (Not really recommended for swimming though.) We were walking slow and it took us just over an hour to walk just under 4Ks. I noticed that there were a lot of dogs on the trail with their owners especially in the beginning. Unfortunately, I saw some trash (plastic bottles, discarded fishing nets) along the way and on the beach which is really disheartening so please don't litter. 💔😢 Overall the beautiful views of the ocean and sounds of the waves makes this, a must do hike. Would definitely do this again.

Beautiful seaside views. Place for picnics and hike. Can get windy and no shady spots under trees but pretty.

The path is well marked and the circular route takes you to a wonderful sand dune before returning along the ocean. The weather / wind changes constantly as you move along the route. Definitely worth it 😊

It's beautiful, but we got followed and harassed by a drug pusher who wouldn't leave us alone. Luckily, we managed to get back to the car and leave before it got worse. From other reviews, we were probably unfortunate, but it's still a reminder that even in seemingly safe places to always walk in groups, be alert and aware of your options if something happens.

Could be amazing with a bit more care. The grass was really overgrown, the pathways were broken, and the place was quite dirty. The lighthouse exterior could definitely use a fresh coat of paint, and the windows at the top were pretty grimy. That said, climbing the narrow steep stairs was actually kind of fun and gave the visit a little adventure
Angelo L — Google review
This is a historic landmark and is has been sorely neglected. It is such an important place in terms of tourism, and at one point around 2010 it was immaculate. It is being neglected by whoever is supposed to be taking care of it. Visit it anyway before it fades away completely. Something drastic needs to be done, the tourism department that is running it needs to do more here.
Norman V — Google review
Well I’ve been here twice now, once on a date and another time my mom and I went there. Honestly I enjoyed every time. There is parking right there, and the view from up at the top of the lighthouse is pretty cool. The stairs leading up are quite narrow so be prepared. It’s clean but you can tell it’s old but still cool. You can go right up to the top and even out. I hav eno complaints.
Caleb N — Google review
Tourism guides/managers are very knowledgeable about the monument and the area. Sad that a few of the plaques have been removed. Would be nice if the vegetation around the Garden of Remembrance was a little more taken care of. View from the top of the lighthouse is good; a good workout for the legs as well. There is parking right next to the buildings and lighthouse, entrance to parking can be missed. Felt quite safe, though you always need to be mindful no matter where you are.
Andrea L — Google review
Definitely a must visit when in Gqeberha. The view from the top was good but the view from the tower was even better. There is ample parking at the place itself. The streets around the place did not seem very safe to me and this was also confirmed by the person working there at the time. The climb to the top is not easy and requires some effort but the view asses this effort.

Wow! What a beautiful sight and must see tourists attraction in Gqeberha. Just look out for the big flag post hoisting the flag of South Africa🇿🇦 visible from the N2 passing through Gqeberha.

Fort Frederick, located in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, is a historic site built in 1799 by the British to guard the mouth of the Baakens River. The fort played a significant role in establishing British rule in Africa during the Battle of Blaauwberg. Despite appearing as just old brick walls, understanding its history gives it importance. Visitors can tour its grounds and enjoy scenic hilltop views across Algoa Bay.
A well-preserved fort that was the first permanent settlement in Gqeberha. Safe with a friendly guard that also looked after the car park.

It's a brick fort with old cannons. There are no signs telling the history of the place. The view is upon the port and some industrial buildings. In both buildings inside the walls there were people looking like hobos who started yelling when we got nearby. Unpleasant experience.

Hello. I have been using that fuel station since its inception in the early 2000's and have dealt with many good guys/staff there but have had issues lately. The last issue was on Saterday night when I asked for 120rands petrol for an Uber I was in only to be charged 300zar... I wasnt given a slip however the notification from my bank then reflected the 300. I turned back and instead of being gjven respectful replies from your staff, I was quickly responded to with disdain and tild to relax as I would get cash as change.... All I wanted was an appology and explanation. I am not sure if the staff is running some scam or it trully was a mistake but its not the first time something like this has happened and ask that you look into this...

If there was a way of rating the carwash a 0 I would. I arrived at the car wash at 11:19 am, to get back at 13:30 to an unwashed car! The response I got from the supervisor there is that he had a pump burst, to my surprise not a single car from the ones I arrived with in the morning was still at the carwash. I paid R110 in full, no refund no nothing! I hope my money goes a long way for him, and that he is satisfied with himself wherever he goes!

The South African Air Force Museum, Port Elizabeth Branch is a repository of vintage planes, helicopters and aviation artefacts that chronicle the history of aviation in South Africa from the 1930s to present. The museum offers free admission but encourages visitors to support its upkeep through donations. Situated along a quiet road, the museum boasts an impressive collection that includes engines, planes, weapons and old uniforms. Visitors can also witness plane restorations at a nearby hanger upon request.
If you love aircraft, this is a nice way to get up close and personal with some historical planes and helicopters. They also have a simulator you can try. Well worth the visit.

What a hidden gem! Above little museum with super helpful staff that take so much of pride in this museum. Plan to spend at least 3-4 hours exploring all the amazing aircraft and memorabilia. They also have a flight simulator but check when they have someone available to run it before going. Well worth a visit.
Pooben N — Google review
The museum made my day and was a great way to finish off my holiday with one last outing. Everything was mind-blowing - the size of the planes, how complex they are, and all the interesting facts that were displayed next to the planes and parts. I really enjoyed it and found it extremely fascinating. I highly recommend this place. I just wish they would use a real plane hangar to provide more space. Additionally, it would be great if they had something like an R50 to climb into the planes. This would not only help with donations but also boost donations to the place. It's free to enter; they just ask for a small donation to keep the place running.

Visited on a Friday morning. Atmosphere was fine. Food was okay, could have been warmer. Service was good, Cindy was our waitress, she was lovely and patient in taking our orders (7 people) she also happily moved us indoors after we felt a bit chilly outside-and quickly cleared a spot for the wheelchair. She was friendly yet not overbearing. Overall we had a lovely time.

Whether you're kicking off your beach walk, taking a mid-stroll breather, or winding down your coastal adventure, Angelo's SharkRock is a perfect stop.

Friendly service, relaxed vibes, and unbeatable scenery—definitely worth a visit.

What a mixed experience. Such a great spot but the deck area on the Northern end was dirty and smelt like sewage, so we moved inside and that was lovely. The coffee was excellent, the best so far in South Africa! The food was quite nice. The service was ok although unfriendly ... but then... the staff had a massive shouting fight that went on for ages! It was quite scary. I've never experienced anything like it before. Of course, having just been subjected to that, we didn't give a tip so then got a worse attitude from the waitress. (By the way, hotel staff told us we don't have to tip). Giving a bad attitude to tourists who don't tip just means they won't come back. Surely having no job to go to when the business then fails is worse than no tip?!

Ginger The Restaurant is a beachfront eatery in Port Elizabeth with a fine-dining menu influenced by Cape flavors. The restaurant features an open kitchen and a terrace, offering an airy ambiance for diners. Their inventive starters include dishes like salmon cured with chamomile and beetroot-and-chocolate risotto.
I have never received such incredible service before. The waiters are well trained, respectful and dressed in uniform. The atmosphere is so elegant and relaxing. There is outdoor and indoor seating that overlooks the ocean. Tables are dressed with candles, flowers, tablecloths and all the cutlery you need. The menu is unique and adventurous. Starters all range from R140 but they are so worth it. You get complimentary sides while you wait in between courses. I ordered the lamb shank which was a bit salty but the sauce and vegetables were incredibly delicious. Our dessert was also amazing and looked like it had been sculpted by an artist. In fact, Every course was beautiful and artistic. The drinks are divine and dressed with edible flowers. Our total for the evening was R1500 and it was worth every penny. We sat for about 3 hours and I enjoyed every minute of it. You must go here!! This might just be the best restaurant I've ever been to.

Ginger Restaurant offers a truly delightful dining experience, boasting an excellent culinary offering and a charming atmosphere that sets the stage for a memorable evening. The food at Ginger is, in a word, great. Each dish we sampled was expertly prepared and presented, showcasing a clear commitment to quality and flavor. From the perfectly cooked main courses to the accompaniments, the kitchen truly delivers a fantastic gastronomic experience that is sure to please even the most discerning palates. Beyond the delicious food, the atmosphere was lovely. The ambiance is sophisticated yet inviting, creating a comfortable and elegant setting perfect for a special occasion or an enjoyable night out. The lighting, decor, and overall feel contribute significantly to the positive dining experience. However, while the food and atmosphere excelled, the service left a little to be desired for a restaurant of this caliber. For an establishment aiming for a luxurious experience, some basic elements were surprisingly absent. Upon arrival, I was surprised to find a self-opening door; one would expect a restaurant of Ginger's standing to have a doorman or hostess to greet guests and open the door. Furthermore, once the bill was presented and paid, our waiter seemed to vanish, making it difficult to receive further assistance or a proper farewell. These seemingly minor details can significantly impact the overall perception of a high-end dining establishment. In conclusion, Ginger shines brightly with its exceptional food and beautiful atmosphere. It's a place where you can expect to enjoy truly delicious cuisine in a wonderful setting. Should they refine their service to match the otherwise high standards of the restaurant, Ginger would undoubtedly be an unparalleled dining destination.

With a strong emphasis on family and brotherhood, Remo's Italian serves up authentic Italian cuisine across South Africa with branches in Durban, Johannesburg, and Port Elizabeth.

Whoa! What a find in GQ! Down in the valley between the warehouses. Excellent reception and service. Great wine list that should satisfy most at reasonable prices. My starter was the gorgonzola arancini, it arrived in a bed of tomato sauce that I found did not work, for me that is. The menu was silent in the addition of the sauce. My main, the lemon chilli chicken, was delicious and I would recommend.

This is not a quiet place to come and wait for your next flight out. The service is extremely slow and laid-back. I waited long to place an order and even longer after for the bill. I was seated close to the kitchen and actually moved to another table as the unnecessary yelling of the kitchen staff become quite unbearable. Eventually we finished up quickly and went to the pub next door for the remainder of our wait. So when you decide to wait here and have a meal try and seat as far away from the kitchen as you can or bring allot of patience and some earplugs along. For me it's a definite not in the future not even a maybe.

One of the highlights is the outdoor courtyard, where there's always something happening, adding to the vibrant energy of the place. The mall feels safe and secure, making it an ideal spot for families and individuals alike. There are plenty of tables to sit and relax or enjoy a meal while admiring the beautiful water fountain display. Whether you're shopping, dining, or just soaking in the ambiance, Boardwalk Mall has something for everyone. Highly recommended!

Boardwalk Mall in Port Elizabeth offers a truly refreshing shopping and leisure experience. Nestled right by the beachfront, it has the perfect combination of vibrant atmosphere, modern design, and stunning surroundings. The mall is beautifully spacious, easy to navigate, and boasts a great variety of stores ranging from popular retail brands to unique local boutiques. What really stands out is how family-friendly and clean the environment is. Whether you're popping in for some quick shopping, spending the day with family, or just taking a scenic stroll, Boardwalk Mall delivers. The food court and restaurants offer a wide selection, with everything from fast food to sit-down dining with views of the water. Overall, Boardwalk Mall strikes a perfect balance between being a modern shopping destination and a relaxed, seaside retreat. It’s a must-visit when you’re in Gqeberha — whether for a quick coffee, a family outing, or just to enjoy the beachfront energy.

Nice mall, close to the beach, one of the university's campus', and other important places. But mostly super packed. Perhaps you'll enjoy it more as a tourist, more than someone who has access to it and just wants to shop for groceries.

Its held it's age well. But..... brown hot water, wall plugs for charging not working, gowns on request only and out of stock, bed slippers on request only, blocked sink drain..... its these little issues that ruin a 4 star experience. Think i deserve a discount.

Much improved. Without any hesitation. The only loss was 34 Degrees South. But all the new shops and easy parking has made a huge difference to shopping experience in Summerstrand. Many of the top names have brought in their latest designs making shopping a pleasure.

Likes: Architectural Design, Shop Variety, Cleanliness, Visible and Friendly Security Personnel and Car Guards, Mall Maps Dislikes/Wishes: Absence of E-hailing pickup parking bays, pedestrian crossing at the busiest entrance 3 at a weird place, lack of or invisible bike rack, limited seating spaces, boom gate system challenges. Well, the design of the mall matches the surrounding infrastructure (Boardwalk Hotel and BellaMare), its classy. The shape of the mall, and the stores positioning are on point. You don't really have to walk from end to end to find an alternative shop. There is a good variety of shops, from eateries, clothing, gadgets, and grocery shops. Its a good balance and they cater for a wide spectrum in terms of pricing. With its location, having a Checkers is a blessing to most shoppers. The services of the shops are mostly above average and excellent. The artwork by the bathrooms is dope. It leads one to everclean bathrooms. The corridors are always spic and span too. The general upkeep and cleanliness of the mall deserves an applaud. The security personnel are visible and friendly. The same for the car guards. I loved the maps that are clear and easy to identify where the shops are. I wasn't impressed with the absence of a pedestrian crossing and or E-hailing Pickup Parking Bays. The management definitely need to consider either. It gets so busy and risky for the customers. The positioning of the pedestrian crossing closest to Entrance 3 for instance, is weird. I find it invisible and at a weird location. Well, looks like one can't cycle to the mall, or perhaps I couldn't see a bike rack. But a bike rack should be considered for cyclist. Then there is not enough seating spaces. Yeah, mothers might need to stop and breastfeed or one might need to wait for someone or something seated. The seating spaces near the entrances are limited. But this is expected since the mall is small and primary purposes is sales. Every square metre must be maximised. Then as we leave the mall, can the boom gates be working all the time. The "no touch" system idea is modern and relevant, but only if it works all the time. Well, I think it deserves a 4.2 but I will just round up to 5. Great Mall.

The mall is Beautiful, Modern, Sufficient Shops, clean 🧼, Lots of parking spaces. The shops are closing bit early on Sunday. (Please consider have longer hours especially on Saturday and Sunday for majority of your stores) Peoples are packed until late. No, Dedicated E-Hauling and Taxi 🚕 drop off and pick up points on each Entrance. This will make easy for your clients and passengers who used those services.

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Children's party service
Splash Waterworld is a water park that offers thrilling rides and attractions suitable for all ages. They have a variety of slides, including a high slide and super tube for the brave older kids, as well as mini slides and splash pools for the little ones and those who are more cautious. The park has plenty of lifeguard supervision to ensure safety, and it is clean and well maintained. It provides an enjoyable day out for children at affordable prices.
Read a recent 5 star review and decided to try out the super tubes again (20 plus years since I last visited as a child). Took our 3 children (4, 6 & 8 years old) and was thoroughly impressed! Place is in excellent condition. Lots of staff (lifeguards) supervising every ride and making sure everyone is safe, but also making sure others aren’t being idiots and ruining it for everyone else. My 6 & 8 year old went on every slide multiple times (both can swim independently though) and our 4 year old enjoyed the less adventurous slides of which there are 4 that anyone can easily ride by themselves with shallow pools at the bottom of those slides. Cannot recommend highly enough - absolute blast for the whole family from young through to grandparents. Lovely shaded bench areas, open grass area, multiple braai’s, clean ablutions and changing area. Food and drinks available to be bought onsite too. Can imagine it would be a perfect birthday party venue too. Will definitely be back when next visiting PE!

This place has been massively improved. This is a PE icon, and much loved for decades, the owners have made this place world-class. The food is great and well-priced. They have great coffee, loads of chips and snacks, burgers, boerie rolls, toasted sandwiches and loads more. The slides and every part of the grounds and facilities have been improved. It's clean, it's well run, it's fun, it's better than it's ever been. Do yourself a massive favour and visit this place. 😁 They cater for braai's and parties, and there are shaded benches and very comfortable spots to relax. Absolutely brilliant time!!

So much fun for the kids. A high slide and super tube for the braver older kids and a mini super tube, slides and splash pools available for the little ones and those more cautious by nature. Plenty of lifeguard supervision. Very clean and well maintained. A great day out for the kids and very reasonably priced. Not a very big waterpark but certainly worth the while for those seeking something to do close to the beach.

If you love traditional Durban curry , this is the place to go. The mutton bunny is the real deal ! A deluge of curry gravy to soak in your bread in, combined with a lot of flavoursome curried meat. You will not be disappointed. This rates one of the best curries I’ve had. Will definitely be back.

Company Social Brasserie in Port Elizabeth is a popular spot with a mixed bag of reviews. Some visitors rave about the great service, delicious food, and value for money. They particularly enjoyed dishes like the veggie burger and butter chicken. The manager, Fungai, received special praise for his exceptional hospitality. However, others noted that while they loved the ambiance and food quality, they experienced some issues with service efficiency.
I loved coming here. The waitress was as cute as a button. Great service and the food was very good! Well priced, value for money and absolutely delicious. I had the best veggie burger of my life here. The butter chicken was super tasty and the dessert pots were also good. I saw there were some bad reviews for this place but I think they’ve rectified whatever went wrong in the past. Definitely worth a visit and worth the community support. Will come again. The photos are orange because I sat under the heater.

The decor was very good, although they could work on having better lighting. Tried to order the beer battered fish but they said all their fish was frozen at the time. Settled for the 5 spice chicken burger which was a little bland considering the name. My friends who had the company burger and pulled pork sandwich really enjoyed their meals though. Went back a few weeks ago for a friend's birthday and we were far from impressed with the service. They failed to explain their new scan menu so we waited the longest time until a waiter finally came to help. It was downhill from there, with us having to wait over 20 minutes for our drinks and to finally give our food orders. The wait for the food was another 30 minutes and when it finally arrived the waitress got one pf our food orders wrong and tried to convince us to accept it regardless. After some back and form she finally agreed to go change it but the wait for that was a considerable amount of time. The food was somewhat of an improvement from the last time so of you don't mind painfully slow service I would recommend the butter chicken and pulled pork sandwich

Came here alone for lunch on a business trip. Beautiful decor and great atmosphere here. Lacking leadership, when I came in it took time to get someone to seat me. Food price is adequate and it is well flavoured. The menu does not link up with what you getting in terms of quantities regarding drinks. Lots of potential but lacking in delivery.

Their pizzas are amazing, there were so many appealing options on the menu, it was not an easy choice to make. It is a must to go back and try more. The cocktails were also really good, and if you are unsure of which option to go with, ask a waiter, they also give good recommendations and advice according to what you like. The service was really good with welcoming staff members. The atmosphere was also great, but it can feel slightly crammed when they are full. I noticed a lot of tables were reserved so I would advice to make a booking in order to get the best seating, but if you are not too fussy, you will still find a table available. I highly recommend going here❤️💯

The manager popped by to greet us and after learning we were celebrating a birthday, he arranged a birthday treat.

Can't wait to be back!

It's a four-star hotel that has allowed itself to slip. There's nothing wrong with the rooms but they're not fancy. The staff at the reception could not be more professional. The major drawback is there is some petty crime with items missing from the rooms, and the restaurant food is atrocious. I tried the soup, the steaks, the pizza and the pasta. I would not go back to eat that food. Within walking distance there are quality restaurants that are cheaper, too.

Stayed at Radisson Blu Elizabethtown Save Your Money and Don't Go. We were only staying one night and it was too long. Lobby chairs were ripped. We asked to use the restroom and they sent us to a restroom that was under repairs. We left to go on a tour while we waited for our room. Returned and everything seemed well. However, lucky I was up late watching a movie. All of a sudden I heard rushing water. Water was pouring down from the ceiling outside the bathroom. They changed our room (we had to walk under water to get out). The next room, the key card would not work to turn on lights (I was able to manually turn on the bathroom lights and common area lights). The bathroom sink in the new room shot out every which way. The shower drain was sunken in. They woke us up to fix the AC (wrong room). If you do to the complimentary breakfast bypass the egg station. The two staff working the station were very slow. I sat has my lukewarm tea, watched my sister eat her potatoes, fruit and coffee. I was ready to leave when the staff called me up to ask "what would you like?" (Um, I have the order already). I told her to forget it. Went back to the room and ordered breakfast via Uber. My sister wasted her points on this stay but lucky it was only for one night.

Bathroom ceiling was mouldy, there was hair in the basin and the shower was flooding the entire bathroom floor. Staff was pleasant to deal with BUT.. specifically inquired if the restaurant was 'halaal/halaal friendly" as this would influence my stay. The hotel staff said yes but when we spoke to the restaurant they confirmed they were not. Thats after we already booked inclusive of breakfast. All you could have was hard fruits , porridge, muffins and coffee because all the hot food was not halaal friendly. Wouldnt recommend and expected better.

Very disappointed about my recent stay at the Radisson Port Elizabeth. They put me in a room with an aircon unit dating from Noah ark.You cannot control the aircon and it was not working.I went down an asked them if they can maybe move me to another room. The guy at the reception told me all the aircon units in all the rooms are the same. The maintenance guy came to my room and needed to open up ceiling to go into roof to fix aircon. He then told me there are rooms with the new aircon units and that guy at reception was lying. I was upset for this guy lying to me in my face. To think I am a premium member. The next day I asked for an iron since I had to be at an event. I called them more then an hour in advance. Nothing. Called again. Nothing.Called again. Nothing..just we are following up. I then went down and was told that they will bring iron now. Still waiting. To crown it all only one lift was working which causes you to wait very long. I am deeply disappointed by the level of service at this hotel.
