Template:Infobox South African town Redhouse is a small village in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, located to the north of the city of Port Elizabeth. It is adjacent to a declared wetland reserve, soon hopefully to be a RAMSAR site.

The village is situated on the Zwartkops River, and is host to the Redhouse Yacht Club. The 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 Elizabeth harbour. There are over 10,000 water birds here, in the summer, including beautiful flamingos aplenty.[1] There are no shops or businesses in Redhouse, apart from two Bed & Breakfast establishments, and this village is truly a hidden gem. There is a lawn bowling club, a squash court, a sailing club, library, and quaint village hall. A superb riverside destination, to relax and find peace.
