Where to stay in Port Elizabeth in South Africa: top 5 hotels

Port Elizabeth is not a tourist town and there is little to do that is worth it. If you are going to sleep in this city, it is certainly to catch a plane at the end of the garden route. You are coming from either Addo Elephant Park or Jeffreys bay. We therefore advise you to arrive in town as late as possible to take advantage of the superb Garden Route reserve or the super tubes of Jeffreys Bay to the fullest. Better to save money on accommodation here to treat yourself to an exceptional night elsewhere ... We have listed below the B & Bs with the best value for money as well as the best youth hostel. For those who prefer the hotel, we have also included the best hotel in Port Elizabeth.

Our tips for a successful trip:

  • Book your flight in advance to take advantage of the best prices

Airline ticket prices are cheaper when booked 6 to 3 months in advance. To be sure of getting the best price, we recommend using a flight comparator such as Skyscanner.

  • Book your accommodation before departure to have access to the best offers

You will always find a room at the last minute, but the best located accommodations are necessarily those that are always full. That's why it's best to book your accommodations as soon as possible. We recommend going through Agoda which offers the best prices. In addition, this site allows you to be easily reimbursed in the event of cancellation.

  • Skip the line to visit the most popular attractions

By booking your excursions in advance on Civitatis, you do not queue on site to get your tickets. Less time waiting = more time enjoying your vacation! Plus, their guided tours ensure you have a knowledgeable guide who speaks your language.

  • Use a comparator to find a rental car at the lowest price

Save yourself hours of research with rentalcar.com ou discovercars.com. These comparators are the best for finding rental cars at the lowest prices.

  • Don't leave without travel insurance

For us, it is unimaginable to leave without travel insurance. We recommend the one proposed by AXIS. This is the best guaranteed way to leave with peace of mind. However, consider taking out additional specialized insurance for activities not covered (such as skiing or scuba diving).
