Beautiful tranquil surroundings perfect stopover. Set in the middle of a quite Residential area of Port Elizabeth with large grounds and pool area. Owner manager is friendly and very helpful, not always that easy to get into as it is extremely popular

Forest Hall is such a fantastic find! It's very convenient - close to the airport and to a major shopping centre in Walmer. James and his staff were fantastic, the room was absolutely perfect and had everything. It was so cosy we didn't even go out to eat but ordered supper in. And breakfast in the communal sunroom each morning... More

We had a very pleasant stay at Forest Hall Guest House in Walmer, P.E. The room was beautiful and clean and the beds were very comfortable. The garden and surroundings were lovely and very peaceful. The hosts and servants were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely like to stay again when we are in P.E.

I stayed here for a few days on work. My hosted had suggested a chain hotel which would have been more expensive but I found this place on the internet. It has lovely, one-off rooms, set in a lovely large garden. The host, James, is great, and the TV, wifi, etc all worked very well for me. Look no further!

The huge garden with lovely peaceful trees, a trampoline and swimming pool (with a net if required)is a wonderful place to arrive after any journey or flight.

I have just returned from South Africa and spent more than half my time at Forest Hall, 11 nights. I arrived quite exhausted and left restored. I had the room next to the swimming pool. It was huge with a fabulous en suite. I felt comfortable, safe and secure at Forest Hall. I look forward to returning
