Welcome To Alcyone

Alcyone is a small family-run guesthouse situated in the laid-back suburb of Summerstrand, Gqeberha (the city formerly known as Port Elizabeth). Our number one goal is to make your holiday as relaxing as possible.

Accommodation is offered in 4 private en-suite units that can comfortably accommodate 2 guests each. Each unit is equipped with a king-size bed, kitchenette, dining corner, bar fridge, smart TV with Google Chromecast, and an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower. The 4 guest units share a patio and braai area. After a long day of swimming, surfing or just lying on the beach you can come home and throw some fish or a piece of boerewors on the braai whilst enjoying a cold beer or glass of wine.

Your hosts are Greg and Rosalie (that's us in the photo!). When we are not moonlighting as pirates or running the guesthouse we both work in the technology industry. We know the fast pace of a highly demanding job, so we especially understand that our guests need a safe, comfortable and relaxing space to help them unwind and forget about their stress for a little while. We also enjoy many other interests such as photography, horse riding, hiking, cycling, and birding.

We understand that your holiday time is precious and try to ensure that you can put your suitcase down and take it easy while staying with us.
