Richmondhill Backpackers

Richmondhill
Richmond Hill is definitely one of Port Elizabeth's gems. Likened by some to Melville in Johannesburg, Richmond Hill is a fascinating area where time seems to have stood still - charming Edwardian and Victorian cottages combine with funky shops and upmarket restaurants. Take time to explore the Richmond Hill Trail and walk through an area of Port Elizabeth where crime is almost non existent; enjoy the magnificent architecture and breath taking views over the Bay, followed by a drink under a colourful umbrella at one of the numerous street cafes. At night Richmond Hill is a hive of activity as patrons enjoy cocktails before dining at one of the many world class restaurants that grace the area.

Richmond Hill is vibey, historic, welcoming and absolutely charming. Sitting at one of the sidewalk restaurants, one would be forgiven for thinking you were somewhere in Europe. Feels like a place you could sit and natter till the wee hours of the morning.

Richmondhill was a really pleasant surprise not knowing PE at all. The guest house I stayed in is located about 100 metres from Stanley Street which has a wonderful collection of restaurants mixed with a range of small businesses, creating a very vibey node. This seems to be a recently "discovered"area of town and will no doubt continue to develop, There's also a fabulous little tea room in the area called Vovo Telo - great vibe in a converted residential house and excellent food - highly recommended.
