Explore East London from Jemima’s Gonubie Guest Lodge

Join us for a trip to the outskirts of East London where nature and city meet. A holiday destination for some and luxurious home for others, this part of the land embodies a more relaxed feel and is just a chip and put from town.

Jemima’s Hospitality is conveniently situated in East London’s prestigious suburb of Gonubie, on the Gonubie Main road opposite the butchery, which is close to the Gonubie Golf Club, the beach front and 30 minutes away from the East London airport.

Upon entering the spacious parking lot, you are welcomed by the friendly faces of the Jemimas staff.

The feature, as you walk in, is the African authentic art displayed on the walls that is beautifully curated. The art is seen throughout the building and truly encompasses the quality of our hospitality.

The interior is lit up with natural lighting that streams through most of the day.

There is no doubt that the main attraction is the magnificent view of the Gonubie River and seemingly endless hills, that are best experienced sipping on something tasty and watching the fish eagles soar as the tide pulls in.

Of course nobody can deny that East London is home to some of South Africa’s most scenic beaches. The Gonubie beach & Boardwalk is closest, but it’s only a fifteen-minute drive to the world famous Nahoon reef, a surfer’s paradise.

The Gonubie Beach and boardwalk a mere 5 minutes away. So, if you fancy a dip in the sea or a variety of long relaxing scenic walks, talk to us to make the perfect choice.

After the sun sets, our guests enjoy taking a night cap in the communal leisure lounge with a sophisticated feel in which they can take advantage of our vintage book collection, DStv or Netflix.

For your convenience, Jemima’s provides laundry facilities, braai facilities, a swimming pool and all the mod cons you would expect, coupled with a honesty bar and entertainment area for those, who prefer to socialise.

East London is known as the 15-minute city because of its relatively small size, at Jemima’s, you are assured of your exclusivity and yet are close to the action as well.

The city is a destination for sports enthusiasts of many descriptions. It also has choice restaurants and the usual range of family restaurants. Vincent Park Shopping Centre is a few minutes’ drive away and you can find perennial family favourites such as the Mugg and Bean, Ocean Basket and Spur.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
