The owner- managed guesthouse offers friendly, relaxed and homely hospitality and your hosts Rod and Angela Farthing  will ensure that all your needs and comforts are met. The Lookout is very close to the town and all amenities and there are many good restaurants in the vicinity. Port Alfred's pristine beaches are only 3 minutes away.

  • The best B+B in town

    If you are wanting to stay at the best B+B in Port Alfred, The Lookout is where you need to go. The food is on another level, the accommodation, service and most of all the views are just incredible!!! We will always go back to The Lookout, it is quite simply better than any other.
