Garden Gate Guesthouse is in Newton Park which is central and close to the city and beach. It is situated behind the Garden Gate Florist shop and is quite private and secure. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom, access to the garden, a kitchen that is shared between the 2 guest rooms and a nice breakfast nook. Very pleasant, homely feel and friendly staff.
the place is absolutely clean, situated in A beautiful garden setting and A florist next door,which was handy for my purpose of visiting P E. relatives in hospital. very nicely furnished en decorated, good value for money only the breakfast inadequate se next door block
the breakfast was totally inadequate compared to any other establishments I often visit, only serial, toast and yogurt for breakfast. no eggs no bacon no sausages nothing meaty to start your day
We stayed at 3 guest houses during our trio to South Africa and this one was the most comfortable and cleanest. We had a very long journey from Cape Town that day and the lovely huge bath was a welcoming sight indeed. The continental breakfast filled us up for our onward journey the next day and the manager was very friendly and recommended places to visit on our way. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in Port Elizabeth.
exellent room and bathroom
tv channels only SABC
The facility was clean and comfortable. We stayed here before visiting Addo Elephant Park. This guest house is about one hour from the main entrance (30 minutes from the southern park entrance). It was a great inexpensive alternative for a one night accommodation before we went to the park. Arrival and departure from the accommodation were very easy, making it great for our late arrival and very early departure.
Our room only had one set of towels. It would have been better to have had two.
The rooms were neat and tidy. Garden was well kept. Safe and secure premises.
No lounge area to relax in, no garden chairs. No DSTV. No option of cooked breakfast, cereal, toast and yojurt get boring after a few days.
Bath Room, Bed
No mirror in Room . plugs limited. No lounge or place to sit. only one chair in room. Breakfast
The staff friendliness and the vicinity of the place to shopping areas. Lastly, the quietness of the area at night
Breakfast and the bedding and towels were not changed daily
Clean and comfortable and ideally suited our need for a stopover on the way to Addo.
Could put a table and chairs in the garden.
The owner /manager locked my driver into the room and removed all the towels from bathroom. The staff were also told to check if anything was stolen once he left. If you do not want black guests dont advertise on this site. You are a racist. I will never make use of these facilities again !
