Mongoose Manor  

On the banks of the Baakens River in leafy Port Elizabeth. About 10 km from the city center and within easy driving distance of the highway, airport, game parks and beaches.

The original farmhouse turned boutique B&B sits in lush gardens and keeps an olde-world charm with eclectic furnishings. Suites have private entrances and bathrooms, mini-bar fridges, air-conditioning or fans, microwaves and kettles; some garden suites include small equipped kitchenettes and a DSTv hotel bouquet.

Soak up the gardens, unwind at the on-site spa center, or kick back in picnic and barbecue areas. Secure off-street parking and transfer assistance are available, and a tour desk can set up local excursions.

Free Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property. On-site laundry and dry-cleaning make longer stays easy.

A complimentary English breakfast is served each morning, and there is a bar on the premises for evening drinks.
