This was my second stay at Margate, that is located perfectly, just a block from the beach, within walking distance to Summerstrand's restaurants, bars and coffeshops. My last visit lasted for nearly 3 weeks, and I stayed on self-catering basis only, and my unit was well equipped and worked out perfectly for that as well. It is clean and neat,... More

If you are looking for the best "home away from home" place to stay in the Summerstrand area in Port Elizabeth, you need not look much further than Margate Place Guest House. I have been visiting this guest house regularly over the past 3 years on business trips and found it excellent value for money. It is spotlessly clean at... More

We chose this Guest House based on TA reviews. We were warmly received by Susan who made sure that we had all we needed. The rooms are ideally equipped for those who might wish to do a bit of self-catering. The kitchenettes and courtyards are all self contained for those who need those facilities. Although this did not apply to... More

We were warmly welcomed by Debbie at the start of our trip to SA with an early check-in at Margate Place after two long flights. Our room was more like a suite with a separate sitting room, kitchen, WC and bathroom and we could easily have self catered for a longer stay. Excellent breakfasts and helpful guidance on what to...

Spent a week at the Margate late October 2010 and enjoyed every minute of it. The staff were very welcoming, polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were all spotless and homely. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks to all for making our stay a memorable one. More
