Should any load shedding be experienced our homes are equipped with small back up battery systems which run your TV, wi fi and lights. We have a spring water system which allows us to store and pump water into the house at all times. As taps run dry in nearby neighbourhoods due to drought, our home has a constant supply of spring water. Fees: Service fee is not a cleaning fee - it is the fee Airbnb charges to use their site.

It is a safe neighbourhood and you are free to walk around alone or as part of a group, along with the locals who live and work here. Seaview is located less that a 10 min drive from the N2, which is the national road linking Port Elizabeth and Cape Town making us the perfect starting or ending point for your travels along the famous Garden Route. This part of the coastline is home to an abundance of bird life, fish, otters, whales, and dolphins. Pods of dolphins swimming past are an almost daily occurrence (did you know that Port Elizabeth is the bottlenose dolphin capital of the WORLD?) and a sight not to be missed. In the winter the bay is home to an ever increasing number of migrating Southern Right and Humpback whales, a truly spectacular sight and one that can be enjoyed from every window! The migrating whales are passing right by our homes as part of a 12000km journey, which culminates in them returning with their calves. There are not many places on earth where you can view this beautiful migration, but in Seaview you can do it over breakfast :) The village of Seaview is located on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth, just a 12 minute drive from the edge of the city. Seaview is popular with locals and visitors alike due to its friendly and relaxed atmosphere, stunning views, and its proximity to 4 sandy, unspoilt beaches.
