My partner and I stayed at the Windermere for less than 24 hours. In fact we were only in Port Elizabeth because it was our last stop on the Garden Route. But the hotel was so charming and oasis-like that I had to write a review. Our room (909) was spacious and modern, with a huge, luxurious bathroom, and a... More

Having taken heed of what others on here had said we took a chance and booked for a 2 night stay at the start of our holiday and we are really glad we did. From the moment we arrived it was obvious we had made a great choice as the welcome could not have been friendlier. We were shown to... More

Huge rooms, three to four times larger in size than those typically encountered. Even with the furnishings, which were adequate, there was still a lot of open space. Lovely bathroom, very modern and spacious, and we really like the radiant floor heat! The large balcony provided a great place to greet the morning. Staff provided exceptional service, went out of...

Wow, wow and WOW! I LOVE the Windermere. We have just stayed there for the third time and we are once again blown away by this stunning establishment. I really feel at home here thanks to Caroline and her friendly team. The rooms are spacious, clean, beautifully designed, luxurious and very comfortable. The bathrooms are huge and the showers, the... More

We really lucked in with this terrific little hotel in Port Elizabeth. The service from Carolyne and Florence in particular was fantastic - our room was just beautiful - and if there was more to pull us back to Port Elizabeth we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Just a lovely hotel in which to stay. I read in a... More

We stayed during the World Cup so were expecting a hike in rates. What we got was a total rip-off. Top drawer prices for a poor level of service & facilities. We were recommended (by the hotel) to their celebrity chef's dining experience - there was a choice of 2 dishes and we had to open our bottle of wine... More

The check in process was simple and easy. The rooms are well-appointed - could be half the size and still be very comfortable. There is no tea/coffee station in the rooms. However tea/coffee is available on request within minutes. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was tidied up during the evening turn-down which in itself was impressive as... More

We only had one night at this hotel, but it was wonderful. Mumsy who works there was friendly and helpful. Close to the beach and restaurants. The hotel is so private, has their own garage for the car and when you sit in the garden area its so peaceful. Would love to stay again. More

Yet another wonderful visit to The Windermere. The rooms are spacious and extremely comfortable, with huge luxurious bathrooms. The staff are well trained, helpful and efficient. This is a definite place to stay in Port Elizabeth. More

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
