Port Elizabeth ---> Cape Town Trip Need Help!!!!

Ahhh....where to begin. I am travelling to Port Elizabeth to meet my girlfriend as as she is studying abroad in Cape Town. Well I am in charge of all the planning and I could use some recommendations!

First I arrive late November 3rd, and she arrives November 5th.
- I am looking for a place in P.E. to play golf on Friday the 4th...any recommendations?

Next I plan on getting a B&B for 4 nights in P.E. - 2 nights by myself and than 2 nights with her? I want something under $100 a night but as comfortable as possible, I am not sure what area's to be looking in (central, summerstrand?) Any advice on an amazing place to stay in P.E. would be greatly appreciated.

Next we have 6 nights together before I have to fly out of Cape Town. We will have a rented (automatic) vehicle and just want to enjoy small towns and have fun. We don't need a history lesson, or have much interest in wineries. So any awesome towns (Kynsa maybe?) that are not to miss, and places to stay would be so awesome?

Also the only other thing that is a can't miss for me is Bungee Jumping from the 216meter bridge! We like small towns, good food, and quaint accommodations. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be so grateful.

Thanks in advance!

No wildlife parks? Addo is 2 hours north of PE.

There are two courses in PE - PE Country Club and Humewood.

Search "garden route" for better info. Have fun planning!

Thanks for the quick reply, just a bit on why I left out wildlife parks. I did a 2 week safari in Tanzania that was amazing this past March. We may try to add in a night or two, but it isn't at the top of our list.

At Storms River there is a tourist info centre & they can help you choose accommodation for Kynsna. Visit the Kynsna Elephant sanctuary, the big tree, we even found a voo-doo shop just of the main road in Kynsna.

Witsand is a lovely place to stop, half way between Kynsna & Cape Town, take the punt across the Breede River, detour to Cape Agulhas then to De Kelders or Hermanus for whale watching & shark diving.

Altes Landes ostrich farm right by the cheetah park and the caves. Romantic, casual elegance.
