Sheila
Welcome to The Homestead - a little bit of the farm right here in Port Alfred, Eastern Cape. Complete with carpentry workshop, chickens, zip line and large gardens you really do feel like you are on the farm. Wanna be homesteaders, we are busy with setting up the property to be self sustaining...it is a work in progress! A rustic place to rest and restore. It is close to town and the beach. It is the ideal spot to stop over if you just want to get away and back to basics.
We work from home and so someone will be available should you require anything.
We are situated right between Port Elizabeth and East London which makes this an ideal overnight stop. The Homestead is up on the East Bank, close to town and the famed East Beach Surf spot. Port Alfred has beautiful beaches, a rich history and a lot of outdoor activities.
