Redhouse is a small village situated on the Zwartkops River in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, north of the city of Gqeberha (formerly known as Port Elizabeth). The village lies adjacent to a declared wetland reserve, which is soon to be designated a Ramsar site.
Redhouse village falls within the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality and is home to the Redhouse Yacht Club.
This riverside village was built around the Redhouse train station, which is a stopping point for passenger and goods trains coming from or going to the Port of Port Elizabeth.
There are over 10,000 water birds here, in the summer, including beautiful flamingos aplenty.
There are no shops or businesses in Redhouse, apart from two bed and breakfast establishments, and this village is truly a hidden gem. There is a small primary school, a church, a lawn bowling club, a squash court, a sailing club, a library, and a quaint village hall.
