Blue Tides is a self-catering apartment perfect for one or 2 couples with kids. It is located central to the this village-like residential area. The suburb is mostly quiet and peaceful and within walking distance from the river and beach. It has private entry, an independent alarm system and designated off-street tandem parking. The apartment offers 2 spacious main bedrooms, each with a double bed. Both on-suite bathrooms have shelf and hanging space for clothing and additional towels. Each bedroom has an adjacent sitting/TV room in which 2 single beds is situated. Both TV rooms have direct access to the 12m balcony from where the harbor, islands and ocean can be seen. The cozy kitchenette provides all the essentials. The large game room can also serve as a dining area. The outdoor pool area is secured by a boundary wall which provides privacy at the pool and barbecue. The benches on the patio comfortably seat 8 guests. Privacy is top of our list. No shared spaces! The suburb supermarkets, shops, fast food outlets, chemist, liquor stores, ATM's and a fuel station are within 900 m from home. The freeway provides quick access to most city attractions.
I have been serving clients for most of my employed career. Meeting new people was not only part of my work but also the most enjoyable part thereof. Being of service and assistance is part of my life. Although I do not always find the time for it, I enjoy fishing and social get-togethers. Something I seldom go without is music. From light classic to modern - especially the golden oldies. I personally meet our guests and hand over the keys during a brief tour of the apartment. My aim is to ensure that guests have a pleasant and memorable stay. If achieved, it is mission accomplished! I am available from 7am until 9pm. Please do not hesitate to contact me should assistance or information of whatever kind be needed.
Bluewater Bay is a secluded residential area with the benefits of a small village located just outside of Port Elizabeth. It is a mostly peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Many residents (young and old) jog, cycle or take their dogs for a walk during early mornings or late afternoons. The beach generally is not crowded. Fishermen often try their luck in the river and sea while surfers and kite-surfers take on the waves. Designated swimming areas are marked when life guards are on duty. The suburb has a variety of stores and shops which provides all the essentials.
