Charlo, Port Elizabeth
Port Elizabeth's suburb of Charlo lies surrounded by Springfield, Lorraine, Overbaakens, and Walmer. It is, as a result, close to a number of schools, as well as shops, restaurants, health and medical facilities, and more. This part of Nelson Mandela Bay is characterised by plenty of greenery and large gardens, which are great for families with pets and children.
Charlo is less than 10 kilometres from the airport and is home to the Figtree Complex, which has a Spur, Ocean Basket, Food Lover's Market, SPAR and TOPS, as well as a gym and a number of other convenient shops and services. Walmer Park is less than five kilometres away, and is one of Port Elizabeth's premium malls, while Moffett on Main is equally close by and also boasts a host of boutiques, shops and national chain stores. Greenacres and King's Court are also nearby.
Connected to the main attractions of Port Elizabeth via Main Road Walmer and the William Moffett Expressway, Charlo is a great place to stay for those who want to visit the beaches, dine at some of the Friendly City's finest restaurants, indulge in local entertainment and spend long, languorous days on the many popular beaches of the Eastern Cape Province.
