Madam Says: Take a slow ride to Bathurst on the colourful train! Train leaves Port Alfred Station every morning @ 11.05 am. Take something to drink and sit back and relax, its a great experience. In Bathurst you can opt for different tours or sit back in the Pig 'n Whistle hotel and...
PEE-WEE Says: Deep sea fishing out of the Kowie River Mouth in Port Alfred is a must. Boats go out to sae daily and there are some that take visitors out to do a spot of fishing for the day at a nominal fee.
mvtouring Says:
Grahamstown National Arts Festival (Near Port Alfr
junecorlett Says: Africa's largest and most colourful cultural event offers a choice of the very best of both indigenous and imported talent. Every year for 11 days (June/July) Grahamstown's population almost doubles, as over 50 000 people flock to Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape for the...
mvtouring Says: a very small little museum in a very old building. Originally it was a school, then the magistrate's court house and then Telkom occupied it. You can read about the British settlers of 1820 that came to this part of the country and all their struggles. There is a nice...
mvtouring Says: A fun cruise as the skipper is really funny and extremely witty. However, even though you go approx 3km upstream, you do not really leave Port Alfred. So if you want to see the homes along the canals and upstream, then this is the cruise for you. If you want to see the...
mvtouring Says: Yes I know that looking at my photo, you do not see any bathers, but please remember that this is not season time. Also there are a number of lovely blue flag beaches here.
Barmuda: Great views, shame about the rest
Jofred Says: Barmuda offers “upmarket” dining. Sure, if you’re a student. Or a surfer.This is the tale of our dinner there. It’s a comedy.Let’s call the frontmen Mutt and Jeff. For those who’ve been there, Mutt is the fat, slovenly one who prides himself on being rude. Jeff is the...
PEE-WEE Says: One of Port Alfred's most popular restaurants, Water's Edge is a smart casual dining experience. Specializing in good food such as delicious lamb curry, seafoods and salads. For a lighter bite to eat, try one of their famous burgers. Located in the Anchorage Centre, Port...
PEE-WEE Says: PORT ALFRED AERODROMEPort Alfred, in addition to its turbulent nautical past has very much of an aeronautical present. A couple of kilometers out of town on the Grahamstown road is one of the finest natural aerodromes in the country which is used regularly by general...
HALYARDS HAIR STUDIO: HALYARDS HAIR STUDIO
PEE-WEE Says: Halyards hair studio and sunbed situated in the royal Alfred Marina in Port Alfred is a must for the ladies when they want to do up their hair and catch a tan on the sunbeds.
Local Nursery: Beautifying your garden
mvtouring Says: I visited the local nursery looking for a curry plant. I was amazed at the high prices charged, but I suppose that is due to the fact that they are quite far from big cities and transporting costs can run high. They did not have a very big variety when we visited, but maybe...
THE GREATEST KOWIE ANNOUNNCER.
PEE-WEE Says: The Kowie Announcer was the local newspaper.Les Mould used to preach across the road from the moviehouse as patrons were exiting. The wages of sin is/are death. Bible-punching stuff. Fishermen will vouch to his lack of short-term memory as to where the fish were biting and...
Davy124 Says: Miles of wonderful beach, but be carefull swimming there is a very very strong undertow at all states of the tide. Great harbour for motor boats but if you try to come in with a deep keeled sailing boat you will hit the bar.
PEE-WEE Says: For the avid wannabe or surfer dude this is the beach to surf.The East and West beach are divided by the Kowie River,although many rocks on the West beach, East beach has a sandy bottom which makes it a favourable place for the surfers.Locals enjoy the swells which are...
PEE-WEE Says: When speaking to an old fisherman on the banks of the Kowie River, he told of a black dog which lived in the water and had teeth this big. He said it was okay because the dog ate only fish - not humans. The locals call the animal Ntini. We later found out from a ranger that...
mvtouring Says: At a cost of R450 plus your temporary fishing licence (you get it from the post office if you do not already have one), you can go deepsea fishing. You do not need any equipment, Andre supplies everything for you.
PEE-WEE Says: With 29 km of navigable river boating and skiing are probably the most popular past times in Port Alfred.The small boat harbour, which is next to the Royal Alfred Marina, is home to private boats of all descriptions. The harbour is home to all kinds of private ski boats,...
PEE-WEE Says: Our discussion forum holds many postings by Bev, who, contrary to popular belief, is not a bored Sunday Times employee. We found Bev in Port Alfred, where she lives on the Royal Alfred Marina. Bev is the director of tourism in Port Alfred and found out about the site from...
PEE-WEE Says: This thriving seaside resort and fishing village, situated at the mouth of the Kowie or Qoyi (rushing) River, is exactly half way between Port Elizabeth and East London. It was originally known as Port Kowie, renamed Port Frances and finally called Port Alfred to commemorate...
