The Beach House
Eastern Cape
At a glance
The Beach House is a coastal guest house on West Beach in Port Alfred, Eastern Cape. Set along the beachfront at 80 West Beach Drive, the property is suited to both business stays and seaside holidays, with the sound of the ocean forming part of the setting.
Accommodation is presented in a refined, comfortable style, with attention to detail across the guest house. A spacious lounge provides an indoor place to unwind, while the pool and pool deck offer a more open setting for relaxed time outdoors. The beachfront position allows guests to watch boats passing offshore and, at times, dolphins playing in the breakers.
Breakfast is served daily in an open dining area that connects with the pool deck. The food offering is centred on breakfast rather than a full restaurant menu, making the property a practical base for days spent exploring Port Alfred and the surrounding coast.
The nearby town adds several options for time away from the guest house. Van der Riet Street has eateries and small shops, while Wharf Street is home to The Little Brewery. The Port Alfred Pier provides a place to watch the sunset and surfers, with a riverside restaurant nearby. Golfers can reach the Royal Port Alfred Golf Course in about three minutes.
For longer outings, Bathurst and historical Grahamstown are within driving distance, while game reserves and Addo Elephant Park provide options for wildlife-focused day trips. The Beach House suits travellers looking for accommodation close to the beach, with a pool, daily breakfast and access to Port Alfred’s local activities.
