About Bathurst

Bathurst lies just off the N2, 14 km from Port Alfred and 43 km from Grahamstown, an easy detour for a day trip. Port Alfred Airport is 11 km away, and there are around two fast chargers in town for EV drivers. Visitors travel through from as far as Vermont and Paarl, but the real draw is the Pig and Whistle, reckoned to be South Africa's oldest pub, standing in the shadow of the town's giant pineapple monument.
