Riverfront Homestay features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and water sports facilities in Port Elizabeth. Located around 16 km from Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, the hostel with free WiFi is also 19 km away from Port Elizabeth Golf Club. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and organising tours for guests. I liked the friendliness of the staff, and the owner, Mark, was very kind. Also, being on the beautiful riverfront, and going sailing and seeing the Flamingoes was very cool. The village is incredible. It is only 15 kilometers from the beachfront.
