Rooms & Accommodations

Toscana Cottage offers self-catering bungalows and double rooms with Tuscan-style architecture. Each unit includes a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave, toaster, fridge, and kettle. Private entrances ensure privacy. The bungalows can sleep up to six guests and feature separate bedrooms, a living area, and a spacious bathroom with a shower. Fans are provided in each room (air conditioning is not available). Free WiFi, DStv, and Netflix are included. The property is in the upmarket Summerstrand suburb, in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood.

Self-Catering Facilities

Since there is no on-site restaurant, all rooms have kitchenettes for cooking. Guests can use the outdoor BBQ facilities and garden. The kitchenettes are equipped with a microwave, toaster, electric kettle, and fridge. Tea and coffee are provided. For groceries, a small complex is nearby, and the Boardwalk area offers restaurants within a 3 km drive.

Leisure & Entertainment

The property has an outdoor salt-water swimming pool with a fence around it, open all year. There is also a garden with BBQ facilities. Guests can relax on the sun loungers or use the pool after a day at the beach. The area is malaria-free, and Addo Elephant National Park is about a 30-minute drive away. The beach (Hobie Beach) and Shark Rock Pier are 3 km from the property.

Location & Transport

Toscana Cottage is located in Summerstrand, Port Elizabeth, a quiet suburb close to major attractions. Boardwalk Casino and Entertainment World is 3 km away. The nearest airport is Port Elizabeth Airport, 5.5 km away. Secure parking is available on-site, including accessible parking. Public transport is limited, so a car is recommended. The property is pet-friendly.

Services & Amenities

Daily housekeeping is included at no extra cost. Free WiFi is available throughout. The host, Bev, offers a warm welcome and is known for accommodating early check-ins when possible. The property has solar panels and water tanks for comfort during load shedding. Guests can bring pets (friendly host pets are also on site). There is no business center or concierge, but the host provides local recommendations. Minimum stay is 2-4 nights depending on the season.

“The genuine warmth of the welcome and the deeply felt sense of homeliness set this cottage apart, creating an environment that feels both incredibly safe and comfortably familiar. It's clear that meticulous attention has been paid to equipping the self-catering units, and the well-maintained grounds, including a pleasant pool area, further contribute to a stay that feels both practical and restorative. I found the location to be a significant asset, balancing quietude with convenient proximity to local amenities.”
