The Windermere is a chic five-star boutique hotel situated above Humewood Beach - and a short walk from the more famous King's Beach - on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth. It’s a great base from which to explore Port Elizabeth and the wider attractions of South Africa’s Eastern Cape. The 25 miles of coastline around Port Elizabeth are a pleasure to explore, while Humewood Beach and golf club are within walking distance of the hotel. Addo Elephant Park and Shamwari Game Reserve are both less than an hour’s drive away.
Small and intimate, the Windermere Hotel has just nine guest rooms, a spacious lounge, stylish cocktail deck and a private garden with pool. It is furnished in a modern, understated style, and is immaculately serviced—in short, it's the perfect coastal retreat!
