Seashells luxury apartments offers accommodation on the beach

For many people – and rightly so, it’s easy to associate Jeffreys Bay with surfing. The town is world-renowned for its supertubes and as the host of the annual Corona Open J-Bay during their Winterfest, but outside of the surfing season, there is still so much to see and do in the town.

Jeffreys Bay offers what I like to call, true paradise. Nestled between nature reserves, rivers and estuaries that open up onto white sandy beaches, the town is an ideal destination for laidback romantic, group or family weekends.

If like me, you need a comfortable place to stay at in the town, I recommend you check in at the 4-Star Seashells Luxury Apartments, located on the beachfront. Here, you can always expect to find tranquil, private and spacious, luxury apartments with unobstructed views of the Indian Ocean.

Arriving at Seashells Luxury Apartments after a short drive from Port Elizabeth, I was welcomed by their friendly staff and the manager, Estelle, and immediately felt right at home.


Seashells offers a unique beachfront lifestyle – luxury with low maintenance and permanent, unobstructed views. 

Speaking to Estelle, she said that they “endeavour to deliver what we promise and our guests appreciate that”. They did go out of their way to ensure I was comfortable during my stay, including giving me pointers about the various attractions and activities in the town and its surrounds.

As the name suggests, Seashells Luxury Apartments offers exclusive, serviced apartments, and the décor is of a contemporary style. All the apartments are spacious and offer clean comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you will need to cook up a romantic dinner or a full family feast. The kitchen leads to a lounge area and a wide terrace with private braai facilities.

If you are not too keen to eat out at the many fine restaurants dotted across the town, the Seashells Luxury Apartments staff can still serve you a delectable breakfast on request at a minimal cost in their breakfast/conference facility. The conference facility can easily seat up to 45 delegates.

For your added convenience, there is a laundry facility, housekeeping service, telephone, satellite TV, DVD Player, gym and Wi-Fi access. Besides on-site security, for your peace of mind, they also provide a shuttle service to the Port Elizabeth International Airport.

There is a lot to do in J-Bay, from surfing to tandem sky-diving, sand boarding, whale and dolphin watching, beach horse riding, ocean diving, kiting and quad biking. The town is a seashell collectors’ paradise with over 400 types of seashells. Nearest game farms are just 15 minutes out of town!

If you are heading to J-Bay this summer for some fun in the sun – and in need of a place to stay, call 042 293 1104 or visit www.seashell.co.za today.

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!
