Lauricedale Country House & Garden Rooms

The house is a 'home away from home' and comprises three bedrooms, a kitchen, lounge and patio. Two of the bedrooms contain double beds and the third bedroom contains a three quarter-size bed. There is also a single bed and a sleeper couch in the lounge area, as well as one en-suite bathroom and an additional bathroom. The large kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering and includes a stove and oven, microwave, kettle, toaster and a washing machine. The large lounge has an indoor fireplace and leads out onto an under cover patio area with a built-in bar and outside braai. The garden is beautiful and relaxing; our five dogs are very friendly and will possibly invite themselves over to greet you.

Area Info

Located at the end of the picturesque Garden Route along the Cape coast, the city is one of South Africa's major destinations for tourists, many of whom come simply to enjoy the many fine beaches in and near the city.

The area surrounding the CBD has a number of historic attractions, many of which are linked by the Donkin Heritage Trail. These include the Campanile (bell tower), built in 1923 to commemorate the arrival of the 1820 Settlers and offering a great viewpoint over the city; the city hall (1862); the Donkin Reserve park and monument; and the old stone Fort Frederick itself (1799). The CBD also boasts the towering Eastern Cape post office headquarters.

Other attractions include the gardens at St George's Park, the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum (formerly known as the King George VI Art Gallery), the museum and oceanography room at Humewood, and the new Boardwalk waterfront complex.

The wider area surrounding PE also features a number of game viewing opportunities, including the famous Addo Elephant Park, 72 kilometres (45 mi) to the north near the Zuurberg mountain range and National Park.
