The Royal Alfred Marina, opened to the public in 1990, is one of the best-kept secrets, offering a unique lifestyle in Port Alfred. Situated midway between Port Elizabeth and East London, both with major airports approximately 150 km away, the town provides convenient access to urban amenities. 43 Air School, just 5 minutes from town, is available for smaller, private aircraft.

Port Alfred itself boasts golden sand dunes, superb beaches, and the picturesque, meandering Kowie River. It is equipped with amenities such as a high school, private and public hospitals, retirement villages, restaurants, shopping malls, and the Royal Port Alfred Golf Course. Despite some road issues (which are being regularly maintained), the town offers a vibrant community and a range of cultural and sporting activities.

Grahamstown, located 60 km inland, offers access to excellent private schools including Kingswood College, St. Andrews College, and DSG (Diocesan School for Girls), as well as public schools such as Graeme College, VGHS (Victoria Girls High School), and PJ Olivier, along with the popular Rhodes University.

Owning a property within the marina provides a safe haven and an ideal setting for spending school breaks and holidays with family. Many businessmen choose to base their families here while commuting to business in nearby cities and internationally.
