Taunton

Hello! We’re Roy and Peter, long-time residents of Port Elizabeth with over 35 years of local knowledge and a genuine love for this beautiful part of South Africa. We run a garden centre and coffee shop, which reflects our passion for nature, community, and great conversation. At home, life is peaceful and green—we spend much of our time outdoors and are joined by our two friendly dogs, a chocolate Labrador and a miniature Schnauzer, who share our love for the garden. As your hosts, we’re always happy to offer insider tips—whether it’s the best way to explore Addo Elephant Park, where to spot dolphins along the coast, or which local restaurants are worth a visit. At the same time, we respect your privacy, giving you the space to fully relax and enjoy your stay. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or work comfortably, we look forward to welcoming you to Taunton and helping you experience Port Elizabeth at its best.
