Our Seaside Garden Cottage is a peaceful one-bedroom garden flat tucked behind our main house in the quiet coastal village of Schoenmakerskop, Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha). It’s garden-facing, with the ocean just across the road — so you’ll enjoy the sea breeze and sound of waves right from your doorstep.
The cottage offers a well-equipped kitchenette, an intimate lounge, a comfortable bedroom with an en-suite walk-in shower, and a private outdoor seating area with a braai. Guests have their own entrance and secure parking inside the gate.
It’s the perfect base for couples or solo travelers looking for a simple, relaxing coastal escape close to nature, walking trails, and tide pools.
Hi, I’m Candace — a registered nurse and Port Alfred local who loves the ocean, gardening, and creating warm, restful spaces for guests.
Hosting allows me to share the peace and beauty of Schoenmakerskop with others. I enjoy meeting new people but always respect your privacy, ensuring your stay is comfortable and easy. My goal is for you to feel at home by the sea — relaxed, refreshed, and well taken care of.
Schoenmakerskop (“Schoenies”) is a quiet coastal village along Marine Drive—think rocky coves, tidal pools, fynbos and big skies. You’re across the road from the sea and coastal path, with cafés and beaches a short drive away. It’s peaceful and nature-rich, yet close to Summerstrand’s shops and restaurants.
