Stayed here for husbands iron man. Our car broke down on the way, ensuring we would not at all be in time for dinner. The girls waited up for us and served us a late dinner upon a warm welcome and arrival. Excellent service and staff. Great interior overall. More

It was our third stay in The Windermere Hotel and for us it is the one and only choice when coming to P.E. No need to repeat the other guests comments as it is just excellent. The location, the huge rooms, the food and the service, which always exceeds your expectations makes it our place to stay when travelling to... More

We stayed here at the end of our drive on the Garden Route and prior top going into Kruger so we were only here for two nights but the room was so good that it merits a report. The room was huge and beautifully appointed. The whole hotel was really welcoming and friendly staff ensured guest comfort. The only negative... More

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
