strict cleanliness and sterilization measures are adhered to. The property's uniqueness comes from its proximity to many sort after areas, while situated in a well established quiet upmarket leafy suburb. We have been priviledged to have to have worked a little with the African Hedgehog, on rescue, rehabilitate and re-release and fell in love with these dear little creatures, who are fast becoming a statistic. By using their name for our self catering we hope to create awareness of their plight. Hedgehog Hollow is an self contained unit, adjoining the main residence. It has its own parking, behind remote controlled gates, private entry and courtyard to sit in. Inside is made up of a bedroom with king size bed, ensuite bathroom with shower toilet and basin, linen and towels provided, the lounge dinning and kitchenette are all in one, with microwave, bar fridge etc. The lounge has a flat screen tv and family cinema (similar to netflix) Full free wi-fi available. A World Awaits
Passionate about our country and especially the Eastern Cape, with all it has to offer, we enjoy meeting people and dedicated to making their stay as pleasant and memorable as possible.
Our property, pretty, residential and quiet is only 800m from the Mall, 1km from the golf course, 1km from the valley, (great walks/cycle tracks) 11km from the beachfront. There are many restaurants more than 26 within 2km! 2 malls only 850m from our door as well as hairdressers, foreign currency exchanges, etc. the beaches are 10km, Sardinia bay is the most beautiful pristine beach. Port Elizabeth itself has so much in the way of sight seeing experiences etc named the Adventure Provence, we have numerous outdoor activities from ziplining, bungie jumping, canoeing, deepsea fishing, dolfin and penguin trips, all the water sports, (The water is free of bilharzia, no malaria) are surrounded by amazing wildlife (The wonderful Addo Elephant Park is a mere 40min drive) in and out of the parks and then there is the cultural/heritage routes, which with the collaboration of the development board and artist have put together a wonderful tribute to Nelson Mandela with 67 incorporating many of the iconic and beautiful old buildings etc
