Lodge on Main Guest House  

Tucked in Walmer, Port Elizabeth, this 4-star boutique guest house and conference centre sits about 5 km from the city center. You're a 3-minute drive from Walmer Park Shopping Centre and under 15 minutes to St. George's Cricket Ground. Free on-site parking and wheelchair access make arrivals easy — note: not pet-friendly.

Expect an intimate, boutique vibe with tasteful antiques and room art inspired by local trees.
