GQEBERHA ACCOMMODATION

CAPE RECIFE LIGHTHOUSE

Discover Gqeberha’s most renowned seaside stay

Cape Recife Lighthouse Villa is a unique self-catering accommodation option inside a stately lighthouse with picturesque ocean views. Located in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), South Africa, it offers an unforgettable beachfront escape ideal for romantic getaways, family vacations, or adventurous explorers.

The Cape Recife Lighthouse was built in 1851 and the first light beamed across the ocean on 1 April of that year. The lighthouse warns passing ships of the dangers of the romantically named Thunderbolt Reef – named after the HMS Thunderbolt, a British Royal Navy Sail and Paddle Frigate. Several natural hazards such as Thunderbolt Reef and Roman Rock, not far offshore, have claimed many a ship.

The lighthouse is a twenty-four-metre-high masonry tower, octagonal in cross-section. Originally painted four alternate bands of white and red, this was changed in 1929 to black and white bands which is the present colour scheme.

A military lookout bunker from World War 2 is also present in the reserve, marking its historically strategic location.

The landmark structures found in the Cape Recife Nature Reserve are a jewel in South Africa’s tourism portfolio.
