Island Vibe Port Elizabeth — Hotel in Eastern Cape

The house is very nice, its a typical of an old British house and everything inside and about the house meets the requirements of any guest. One you leap outside the gate you are in danger zone. I arrived there 2 days before last Christmas. One Christmas eve morning I asked about what was in the location and I was advised that the city centre main street was close by and the various shops etc. I went down to the main street which I found most the unwelcoming place ever and I almost got robbed on Western Road because there was a gang hanging out.
