We stayed here as a 1 night stop-over to make early flight from Port Elizabeth next morning. Really really like this hotel, rooms clean, cosy and extremely spacious. Found the manager/receptionist extremely helpful and nice. We had to leave the hotel next morning before breakfast started so she sent tea/coffee and toast to our room along with arranging the taxi... more

Another really great hotel which is as wonderful as the previous reviews suggest. The rooms were great, absolutely enormous and well appointed. The decoration was tasteful, the fittings first rate, the largest bathroom we have ever been in with roll top bath and very large rain shower. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the breakfasts excellent. The attention... more

This must be Port Elizabeth's best kept secret - An amazing boutique hotel with 5 star levels of comfort, luxury and service. The style is chic and modern, with incredible decor and furnishings. We spent 2 nights here - it was so lovely we could and could easily have stayed for longer! Our room was LARGE, stylish and spacious with... more

We stayed at the Windemere for one night at the start of our honeymoon. It wasn’t far from the airport and it was a 2 minute walk from the sea front and about 15 from the boardwalk complex. It's a small hotel as it was a house years ago and is on a residential street. There was secure off street... more

As other reviewers have mentioned, this hotel is an oasis in a busy port and we were delighted with every aspect of our stay. Originally three houses which fell into disrepair and were occupied by squatters, the owners have built an unusual and very modern hotel with huge (minimalist but extraordinarily comfortable) bedrooms and modern bathrooms with enormous showers, big... more

The Windermere is not an easy place to find, but once you do, it's well worth the grief. The hotel consists of 8 rooms, and from the outside looks nothing like a hotel - more like a private house, and the sign advertising its presence is like the hotel itself - discreet, elegant and tasteful. As we pulled up outside,... more

Like other travellers we only booked in for one night at this hotel; but would have preferred more time here. The open spaces are very stylish, and the suites the largest we have seen for some time (we had 3 sofas in our room - 301). Molton Brown toiletries are a nice touch. more

Spent one night at the Windermere in Port Elizabeth on our way from the Garden Route to Rippon's Safari Lodge. The hotel is fabulous. On arrival it doesn't look lioke your average hotel. As soon as our car came to a stop outside we were greeted by staff who came outside to meet us. As you enter the hotel complex... more

While Port Elizabeth is not a "must see" while in SA, we stayed here for one night before driving the Garden Route. The room was ENORMOUS and stylishly decorated with two full seating areas, a large king size bed, plush carpet and a cute tiny balcony overlooking the hotel's adorable courtyard. The breakfast was wonderful as were the staff! The... more
