Students are accommodated in a well appointed house overlooking the Indian Ocean - a stone's throw from the sea. Whales and dolphins are seen daily - often breaching clear of the water right in front of the house. Cape clawless otters breed in the fresh water system which enters the sea nearby. The house is located in the coastal village of Seaview, some 25 km outside of the coastal city of Port Elizabeth. Seaview village has a small shopping centre with supermarket, laundry, ATM and take-away.

The house comprises three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and toilets, two kitchens and two entertainment areas that are also used as lecture facilities. There is also a spacious deck, complete with hammocks, that overlooks the sea. The garden is totally indigenous, with over 100 species of trees. This is more varieties than is found in the whole of Europe!!

Besides a beautiful snorkelling area directly in front of the house, there are many other leisure and pleasure facilities located nearby. The Seaview Lion Park, 5km up the road, is where one can interact with baby lion cubs. There is a 25km sandy beach a little further down the coast, which is ideal for sand-boarding and the study of sandy beaches. There are three Alexandria type indigenous forests within easy access, all of which can be reached via numerous trails.

Serviced communal accommodation and two meals are included in the course fee. The volunteers themselves must carry their lunch, laundry and medical costs. They will also be expected to assist with the meal preparations and keeping the premises neat and tidy.

We buy food collectively for the entire house but if there is something that we don't usually buy and that you have a particular craving for (like real coffee or chocolate cake!), you will need to purchase this with your own money. We do have a private fridge reserved for volunteers so that they can keep such items in.

South Africans eat a lot of meat. Therefore, if you have any special dietary requirements, please warn us in advance and bring some of your favorite recipes with you!

For the Google Earth fans, the house is located at:

 34° 1'0.69"S, 25°22'0.46"E
