Hacklewood Hill

Hacklewood Hill lies in the tranquil suburb of Walmer, about ten minutes from the Port Elizabeth Airport. This upmarket residential area is known for its tree-lined streets and proximity to key city attractions, from heritage sites and art galleries to the beaches along Marine Drive. Its location provides the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and quick access to Addo Elephant National Park, Shamwari, and the Eastern Cape’s scenic coastline.

The eight rooms at Hacklewood Hill are individually designed, each showcasing soft pastels, antique furniture, and Victorian touches like ball-and-claw bathtubs. Every room is air-conditioned and offers Wi-Fi, satellite television, a minibar, tea and coffee facilities, and a safe. Spacious layouts and elegant bathrooms ensure both comfort and a sense of nostalgic romance—ideal for couples seeking a restful, stylish retreat near the coast.

The property’s amenities include an inviting garden pool, a refined restaurant serving creative cuisine, and a notable wine cellar. Guests can unwind with afternoon tea, read in the conservatory, or enjoy a glass of wine on the veranda. The concierge assists with Addo safaris, local golf bookings, and day tours. With its peaceful setting, attentive service, and culinary excellence, Hacklewood Hill remains one of Port Elizabeth’s most distinguished boutique hotels.
