Relax in Summerstrand

Sometimes the best thing you can do on a holiday is to chill and forget about the rest of the world. Grab a beer at one of the many family-friendly restaurants lining Marine drive and take in the scenery.

Walk to the Beach

Nothing beats a casual stroll down the beach. We're 600m from the beach and boardwalk where you can take a stroll to appreciate the African sunset. Multiple blue-flagh beaches are within 2 km of the guest house.

Braai some Fish with Friends

The harbour is a few minutes' drive from our guest house, where you'll find a fresh selection of fish and calamari, caught daily. And if you've never cooked a fish on the braai, we'll give you some pointers. It's not to be missed.

Become an Ironman

Our guest house is situated right on the Ironman route, making it the perfect home base if you're competing. Best of all, while you suffer out on the route, your supporters will be able to relax and cheer you on from time to time.

About Us

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.

Why Choose Us

Enjoy an affordable family holiday with everything you need

All our units are fully self-contained with en-suite bathrooms, each with a shower. Each unit has its own entrance and an allocated parking space inside the property, so you do not have to park your car on the street. At the end of the day you can sleep comfortably in the king-size bed.
The units are fully self-catering and provide all the items you will need, including a two-plate compact oven, microwave, bar fridge, kettle, crockery, cutlery, pots and pans. Plus of course a braai and a kettle braai for the braai-masters out there.
We are located close to a number of amenities, such as the beach, the Nelson Mandela University, Humewood Golf Club and restaurants. The ocean is only 600 m from us and the nearest swimming beach, Pollock Beach, is about 1 km away. We are a mere 6.7 km (about 10 minutes' drive) from PE International Airport.
