Glendinningvale, Port Elizabeth: Glendinningvale, in the
heart of the city of Port Elizabeth - known contradictorily as both the windy and the
friendly city (although the former is a little unfair given that PE has the 4th best
weather in the world) - is perfectly placed if its a beach holiday youre after
as the main beaches - all ten of them - are just a few minutes away from this
wooded, peaceful suburb. This is a neighbourhood of shady, flourishing gardens, large
homes and waking to the sound of birds that is ideally placed given that a golf course,
Greenacres Shopping centre and the airport are all conveniently close by.
Port Elizabethans are generally laid back, or they certainly like to think of themselves
as such, hence the friendly city label. And it really is a wonderful place to
stay - great weather all year round (give or take a windy day or two), beautiful beaches -
St Georges Beach and Humewood have Blue Flag status - the Boardwalk Casino, shopping
malls, a regeneration project that is set to turn the inner city around, and very little
traffic.
