The Windermere is situated in one of the city's most impressive locations being a short walk away from the beach, Macarthur's pools and some top beachfront restaurants and the Boardwalk complex. The renowned links at Humewood Golf Course is only 5 minutes away. The Windermere is the ideal starting or end point to the Garden Route and the perfect base to the Eastern Cape's great malaria-free game destinations.
Of all South Africa's coastal cities Port Elizabeth has the best swimming beaches! Apart from the many aquatic/marine activities (scuba diving, kite boarding, wind surfing, surfing, yachting, angling), there are various other activities available, all of which can be booked by the hotel, these include golf - city and township tours (Port Elizabeth was the landing place of the British settlers of 1820, as well as being at the crucible of the Anti Apartheid movement, so there are many significant historical sites) , marine safari to the bird island group as well as day safaris to various game reserves including Addo, Schotia , Pumba, Kwantu & Amakhala (all within an easy 1hr drive). A great day out in the country (only available to guests of The Windermere) is a game drive into Addo Elephant National Park followed by lunch at the exclusive Elephant House in the Sundays River valley.
Our expertise in African travel comes from years of experience travelling the continent, canoeing the rivers, walking the bush trails, and seeing the stars. We've been on the game drives and watched the sunsets, spent nights wrapped up in remote areas, and eaten great food around the fire. Our recommendations come first-hand, and they are your assurance that a safari booked with us is one we know you'll love, because we did.
We know a safari can be pricey, but we guarantee that we're giving you the best deal on your travel. We don't want your trip to Africa to be a once in a lifetime experience, we want you to do it again, and again! Through nurtured relationships with our suppliers, we can offer you the best deal they've got, and you'll never pay more than you should for your accommodation. If you find the same holiday for less, we'll confidently better the price.
