My Pond Hotel

After a state of the art renovation, the hotel is also the first property in the country to harness geothermal energy, and sources all ingredients for the contemporary South African menu (and much of the dcor) locally, supporting both sustainability and community initiatives.The spacious suites have heart-stirring river views, and there are excellent facilities for conferences and special events. Staff will happily organise activities from horse riding to golf (Port Alfred being a premier golfing destination), or simply relax in the plunge pool or take a stroll along the river. However long you stay, youll take away a little of the sunshine coast with you.

Port Alfred is a quaint town, with many hidden gems, quiet English pubs, Sports Bars, beach bars for the teenagers, two shopping malls, and a host of delightful gift and antique shops. We have two designer Golf Courses nearby, a very active air training school and miles of unspoilt beaches, where even in the busy times, you may not see another soul.

All hot water, the swimming pool and air-conditioning is heated/cooled using innovative and very enviro-friendly geothermal (heat from the earth) technology a first for South Africa. Also a vast majority of lighting is low wattage energy saving globes.

The rooms are all en-suite, air-conditioned, with LCD televisions (10 satellite channels), telephones, universal plug points, Safe, fridge and tea/coffee facilities. The Suites are equipped with I-Pod docking station radios, heated towel rails and sleeper couches.There is disabled access to all our rooms (via lift) and a full disabled toilet in our lobby.Guests also have access to a Swimming Pool and WiFi Internet.

    "We enjoyed our stay. An ideal spot to watch the boat races on the river. The staff are willing to help and the rooms are great. We had a river view and it was superb."

  • "Average"

    04 February 2013

    "Happy enough for the time spent. Room was adequate and amenities was ok. Central in town. Had issues with cold water and no water at the time we really needed it the most. We attended graduation of our son and when we wanted to shower and dress up it was not possible. Highly inconvenient. Must add that it was a town or street issue apparently."

    "My Prince and I had a wonderful stay at MyPond Hotel. We received a very warm service. It was our first time in Port Alfred and you made it a very memorable experience! We will be coming back next year!"

  • "MyPond Hotel"

    08 November 2010

    "Stayed one night only. Not the best location, dodgy surroundings. Hotel is well maintained and finishes are excellent. Room has designer look, and coordinated to perfection. Rely looks like a 4 star hotel. Well done. Unfortunately the bathroom didn’t live up to the glamour of the hotel. Although it was a modern piece of art, there was no extractor fan and both shower and basin drains blocked up once in use. I enjoy my bathroom time, so very disappointing."

  • "Awesome time"

    03 August 2010

    "As a young group of fellows the MyPond greated us with open arms although we could sense that they were nervous to have us stay. However, their hospitality was super and friendly, from the managers right down to the cleaning staff. The room was excellent and the food was even better. We had a great stay and we will definitely be staying at the MyPond in the near future."
