It's a one of a kind - probably the only marina in the world that boasts homes that each have thir own water frontage. Many marinas are bigger, more elaborate, more spectacular but most of their homes don't sit slap bang on the canals. In Port Alfred the Royal Alfred Marina homes all have their own jetty from which boats can sail either out to sea or up the beautiful Kowie RIver any time of day or night.

Safety is a priority and residents sleep easy at night knowing that their roads and canals are patrolled 24/7. Children can play in the streets and experience childhoods pleasure such as cycling, playing football, hide and seek or just chilling out with their friends. There's a convivial clubhouse with pool, tennis court and squash court where residents meet and make friends. Residents can walk or jog any time of day or night; they can fish from their jetties; swim in the canals; paddle their canoes; or enjoy sundowners from their very own waterfront vantage point. It's a lifestyle many only dream of but it's available here right in the heart of Port Alfred

Cruising the canals by barge has become a way of life for many Marina residents. It's the perfect antidote to big-city stress.

The views of and the view from Marina homes are stunning. Homes along Sea Lords' Way enjoy views of the beach and sea as well as the Marina.

Deep-sea fishing is also much enjoyed as the Marina leads into the Kowei River from where there is immediate access to the sea 24 hours a day. No matter where the tide boats can be enjoyed. One of the Marina's best-known and best-loved residents is Sammy Seal who regularly basks on Marina canal walls.
