Cora Terrace
We specialise in group dormitory accommodation (schools, sports hroups etc.) as well as medium term contractors visiting 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 1850s 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.
Bathrooms are communal as no bedrooms are en-suite. We have self-catering facilities suitable for the individual and group.
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 school terms and during events. We regret that due to the stairs, physically disabled guests cannot be accommodated.
booking enquiry no obligation!

"Cora Terrace"
03 January 2016"Beautiful old building in a fairly quite part of the very busy Central. Owners as well as car guard are very pleasant people who made us feel at home. Rooms nicely laid out for a backpackers and even though quite a number of people are accomodated at a time it never felt crowded. Small pool at the back an added advantage. But... all of the above are cancelled out by the fact that it is just not clean. Bathroom, especially, was a nightmare to use and we avoided using the kitchen as far as possible. Whole place is in desperate need of a serious clean. Owners need to dismiss domestic worker asap because she is clearly not pulling her weight."
