Company info

Hey guys and welcome on board of Sawubona Guesthouse. We are Tim and Katharina and we warmly welcome you to our wonderful guesthouse. We come from near Stuttgart in Germany and have fulfilled an absolute dream, perhaps even a longing, within the context of our guesthouse. For me, Katharina, South Africa has always been my second home, as my grandparents lived on the exact same street of our house for a very long time, my mom was born in South Africa, and I also lived in the country for a year. Having a second home there, loving this country and it’s people so much, we felt passionate about this idea and made it become true!🤍 In consequence of appreciating this opportunity, we chose the name “Sawubona Guesthouse”. On several flights to South Africa with its airline one got to know the term “Sawubona” which is Zulu, one of the national languages of SA meaning “We see You, We welcome You & and We appreciate You“. So Sawubona to You if you are a guest of us or we may welcome you in future. We wish you a wonderful stay with us, with many sightings of dolphins and whales to wake up to!🐬🐠🐋🐡🦀🦐🦈🦭 For questions, suggestions, ideas or anything else, please contact us at any time without hesitation or turn to your contact person or our team on-site. We cannot wait to meet and see You! Cheers, Tim & Katharina🤍

Neighborhood info

The little village of Beachview that earned its name for obvious reasons when one considers the spectacular view of the beach from the homes here, lies on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth - about 25 kilometers from the city centre. This is a coastline of unspoilt sand dunes, scenic walks and a host of adventures that include birding, mountain biking and horse riding. Beachview is also close to a number of activities, should you choose to venture out. Maitland, a wonderful sandy beach with a lagoon and some of the most magnificent sand dunes is less than three kilometres from Beachview, and offers a great alternative as Beachview is not regarded as a safe swimming beach, despite its impressive view. A variety of restaurants and a convenience store are within easy driving distance.
