This Victorian manor house enjoys a perfect location in the peaceful surroundings of the leafy suburb of Walmer just outside Port Elizabeth, offering a memorable stay for discerning travellers. The beach at Humewood is just a ten minutes' drive away and there are three golf courses within five km. Port Elizabeth Airport is only 4km away. The tastefully decorated rooms all contain original Victorian fittings such as four-poster beds, open fireplaces and claw-foot baths and all feature private balconies overlooking the landscaped garden and a spacious private bathroom. Guests can enjoy a game of tennis or relax around the outdoor swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers. The hotel's own restaurant serves full English breakfasts, delectable light lunches and exquisite evening meals and guests can also enjoy breakfast in the privacy of their own rooms.
