A Wonderful Stay

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely bed and breakfast,when we came to PE for Ironman 2025, and we can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel at home. Christopher, the host, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect – nothing was too much trouble for him! Christopher crafts a delicious breakfast spread that caters to all tastes, making sure everyone starts the day off right. You must try his home made musilie! The room was incredibly spacious, allowing for plenty of room to unwind after Ironman. There is ample storage – ideal for unpacking and making it feel like our own space. The good shower was a highlight; its powerful spray felt amazing after a long day. The common areas were beautifully designed and very inviting, and the pool area was a delightful bonus, offering a tranquil spot to soak up the sun and relax. Overall, our experience at this B&B was fantastic, and I cannot thank Christopher enough for his outstanding hospitality. If you're looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay, this is definitely it! I can’t wait to return!

Manor 38 is located in Summerstrand Port Elizabeth. The Manor is beautiful, nicely decorated with spacious bedrooms and bathroom, private television, WiFi, etc. It also has two large sitting rooms, one with a large television and fireplace for all guests to use, plus a gorgeous swimming pool. The daily breakfast is preordered, with selections from fruit plate, cereal, toasts, eggs cooked many different ways, including omelettes. The staff, specially Christopher, deserve recognition for outstanding service. They were helpful with recommendations, tour reservations, and much more. Please note that Port Elizabeth has some issues with alcohol and drug addictions so important to be vigilant. But thumbs up to Manor 38 and a super staff!

A great time in Port Elizabeth

The host was great, the board walk (and the board walk mall) and at a walking distance. The guest house had room for about 6 cars inside the fenced parking lot. Overall we enjoyed it.

Great stay at a great property

The house is very nice and clean. Christopher, the staff in charge, was very helpful during our stay and even offered us a room upgrade! They pay attention to details, gave us some nice chocolate and drinks every night, and even a Christmas cake on Christmas day. Breakfast was fantastic, very well cooked and seasoned. We really enjoyed it. The pool area was also really nice and relaxing.

The property was a short walk to the extensive boardwalk along the beach. The owner was awesome! When he noticed that our card had been charged twice, he ran over from having dinner with his wife to make sure that our card was properly credited. The room was nice and big, which was great so we could get our luggage re-situated before we flew home. The made-to-order breakfast was delicious!!
