Where to stay near St George's Park, Gqeberha
Gqeberha, South Africa
St George's Park is South Africa's oldest Test ground, sitting in the middle of the city inside its namesake park, and the one with the brass band. Summerstrand puts you on the beach 10 minutes away, and Addo Elephant National Park is an hour inland, which makes this the easiest venue in the tournament to pair a match with a malaria-free safari.
