Host(s):
Johan and Bryan, keen travellers themselves, started Cora Terrace after falling in love with this beautiful old building. The vibrant area with its mix of European and African cultures, and the rich texture of the history, was seen as the perfect alternative for a budget traveller that wanted to experience the city.

Why Cora Terrace? Not often will you have the opportunity to stay in a National Monument! This beautiful Georgian home was built in the 1850’s to house soldiers guarding the port of Port Elizabeth. Situated in picturesque surroundings, you can walk to the Old Fort, the Donkin Memorial and St. Georges botanical gardens. It is about 5 minute quick drive to the beach. For the sporting enthusiast, it is within walking distance to St. Georges cricket stadium, and about a 10 minute drive to the new Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. Accommodation ranges from private twin and double rooms, family rooms, and dormitories. Bathrooms are communal as no bedrooms are en-suite. We have self-catering facilities suitable for the individual and group. Alternatively, why don’t you rather let us prepare the meals? We offer home cooked meals that can be adapted to your requirements. Delicious breakfasts, lunch and suppers prepared and served on the premises. Please note we do not have a restaurant - these meals are prepared on request only with advance notice.
Do you want guidance on activities when in Port Elizabeth? Once your booking is confirmed, we will help you design activities to make your trip to Port Elizabeth exciting and memorable. This is at no additional cost, although you would need to pay relevant entrance fees where required. Should you wish to have guided tours, we will also put you in contact with local, registered specialists.
Remember to book early in advance as we do get busy during peak periods. We regret that due to the stairs, physically disabled guests cannot be accommodated.
