South Africa's oldest operating coffee roastery, first opened in Port Elizabeth in 1924 by Ronald "Jock" Masterton. 95 years and three generations on, this family run business still serves the Port Elizabeth and greater Nelson Mandela Bay communities today, while also supplying coffee to top end grocers, retailers, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops and coffee loving individuals across South Africa. Now situated at 92 Main Road, Walmer in Port Elizabeth, the boutique coffee roastery is a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. Be sure to pop in and enjoy an amazing flat white, Americano or just about any coffee drink you can imagine while your freshly roasted coffee beans are prepared for you to take home.

Micro Brewery offering exclusive beers for the adventurous and well informed beer drinker. Our range of products is vast and interesting, from craft sodas to 2 year old barrel aged sour beers. Our taproom is open daily during the week. Our factory shop stocks a good selection of our beers. We also stock memorabilia and gifts along with many beer related products that we produce in addition to beer. Our most famous beers are Bad Attitude - a highly hopped yet extremely well balanced American style IPA and Blood, Sweat & Tears - a black Belgian Saison that is brewed with sherry and raisins. Our tours range from a simple tasting of 45 minutes to an actual small batch brew and braai (BBQ) which lasts 5 hours. We will expose you to our more carefree and artistic way of brewing and introduce you to the great South African tradition of braaing. We prefer smaller groups, no more than 10, in order to provide personal attention a memorable experience. Booking is essential.

Hand in Hand Visual Art Studio's is an art studio with gallery space. Located in the Motherwell Township in the Nelson Mandela Metropolis owned by Sakhumzi and Msindisi Nyendwana. Enjoy a township walk before entering the Art Studio and Artist home of the Hand in Hand Brothers. Bring a snack or better arranged support a local vendor who will provide you with a local favorite snack. The Studio is currently converting for new collaborative business and your support brings us closer to our goal.
We so enjoyed our tour given by local artist and inspiration, Sakumzi. What he and his brother are doing in their community is inspiring...teaching the local youth about art through expression is something to see. They are making a difference and their art (which is for sale) is just as impressive.

Uitenhage is the main manufacturing and head office for VW South Africa. It's worth the trip to see it, and how companies like Volkswagen are contributing to the South African economy. It's about a 30-40 minute drive from Port Elizabeth, so make sure if you are a visitor to South Africa as we were that you plan your route and use a GPS. VW makes the Polo here and it is a complete manufacturing and assembly complex. You must book ahead. Before the factory tour visitors can walk through the VW Pavilion and Museum which contains many famous Volkswagen models and tells the story of the company in South Africa.

This carefully restored 1827 cottage is Port Elizabeth’s oldest Settler’s house.
I visited here recently and was pleasantly surprised. The house is well maintained and gives a glimpse of another era.

Collections consist of South African art (particularly that of the Eastern Cape), British art, international printmaking and Oriental art (including Indian miniatures and Chinese textiles). These are supplemented by an active programme of temporary exhibitions.
Quite a few really good exhibits in here showing great local art, photography, fashion as well as older pieces. If you only see one gallery in PE, this should be the one.
