A Night out at the Boardwalk
Every holiday deserves a big night out on its itinerary and, when you're booked in at The Boardwalk in Port Elizabeth, there's no better place to have one! Luckily, a big night out can be enjoyed from the comfort and convenience of your hotel, because The Boardwalk offers a variety of things to do with a number of entertainment venues that are perfect for ultimate date night and will keep you partying the whole night through, until the sun rises over the horizon.
After checking into your sea-facing room at The Boardwalk Hotel, you'll realize why this hotel scores and deserves its 5-star rating. As you get dressed for a romantic night out, enjoy the comfort and pleasure of your room and take a moment to see if you can spy whales and dolphins at play in the bay.
Start your big night dining out at one of Port Elizabeth's most loved restaurant Kipling's Brasserie. Kipling's menu is inspired by the great Rudyard Kipling's writings, travels and interests, because the author regularly visited the Eastern Cape during his South African holidays. You'll be delighted with delicacies so aptly inspired by Kipling's works, like the "How The Leopard Got its Spots" and, of course, "The Jungle Book". Savour a signature salad or dive into sumptuous seafood dishes, while enjoying some fine wine and the beautiful view that looks over Algoa Bay. Other notable items on the Kiplings' menu include the ostrich fillet medallions and the curries.
Once you've sated your palate at the dinner table and gathered your energy over dessert, its time to delve into all the things to do in Port Elizabeth. Head to the Boardwalk Amphitheatre and take your seat for that night's show. As a Port Elizabeth entertainment venue, The Amphitheatre is hosts a wide range of top musical acts; stand up comedians and cabaret artists. Not just a home for theatrical acts, The Amphitheatre also hosts gala events and even the occasional beauty pageant!
Once the curtain falls at the Amphitheatre, drop in at the Boardwalk Casino for a cocktail and to see if Lady Luck is on your side! As the only licensed casino in the Nelson Mandela Bay region, the Boardwalk Casino is always bustling. With 24 tables to choose from, you'll find a game you love, whether its Poker, Blackjack or Roulette. And if you prefer to swing by the slot machines, 900 are waiting for you try your hand at winning big. The Boardwalk Casino never sleeps and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the slot machines open around the clock and the games tables open every day from 12h00.
There's no such thing as a late night, when the sun comes up while you're having fun. Once you've greeted the sunrise, escape to your suite for a nap or to freshen up before starting the day.
Of course, there's no better way to start a new day than with a complimentary breakfast! Included in your room rate for all guests, the breakfast buffet will restore you and get you ready for a relaxing day ahead. After that, head to the pool deck that overlooks the Indian Ocean to soak up some sunshine and enjoy another day in South Africa's friendliest city.
