Situated high on the west bank of the Kowie River in Port Alfred, the heart of the Sunshine Coast, Marianne and Rob welcome you to their small and personal Guest House. With panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, the Royal Alfred Marina and the Kowie River, PANORAMA lives up to its name. We are very close to Stenden University and the Royal Port Alfred Golf Club and within easy walking distance of the town centre and West Beach.
Between us, we speak English, Afrikaans, German, Dutch and Xhosa. Come and enjoy our warm South African hospitality!
Panorama Guest House is located in the town of Port Alfred, on the R72, approximately 150km from Port Elizabeth, the Addo Elephant National Park and East London. Situated along the coast and enjoying such temperate weather makes Port Alfred an ideal water sports destination which is enhanced by the fact that the Kowie River is navigable for about 22 kilometres. The Kowie River, which flows into the Indian Ocean, divides the town in two and the banks are linked by a couple of bridges. Boat cruises and various hiking trails are available in this region, which is rich in indigenous flora, fauna and bird life.
