Forest Hall Guest House  

Tucked in Walmer, Port Elizabeth — about 4 km from the city centre and a short drive to Walmer Park and Greenacres shopping. Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium and Bayworld are close by, and Addo Elephant Park is an easy day trip for Big Five safaris.

This 4-star colonial guesthouse sits on a leafy 1.5‑acre garden with a Romanesque pool and sun deck. Rooms are individually decorated (16–17 rooms), with memory-foam beds, private furnished balconies or patios, refrigerators and plasma TVs. Expect uninterrupted power and water, friendly multilingual staff, and simple comforts like bathrobes and complimentary toiletries.

Two outdoor swimming pools (including the Romanesque pool), an outdoor tennis court, bicycle rentals and a picnic area keep things active and relaxed. There’s on-site parking and a beach shuttle (surcharge) to get you to the surf. Tour/ticket assistance, transfers and car rental services are available.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, express check-in and check-out, and airport shuttle service available for a surcharge. Useful extras include a safe-deposit box, ironing and laundry services.

An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine, and a complimentary hot/cold buffet breakfast (including an English breakfast) is served daily from 7:00–9:00 AM.
