Hacklewood Hill Country House, a Victorian manor built in 1898 in Port Elizabeth's leafy Walmer suburb, exudes timeless elegance. Set within lush English gardens, it offers a serene retreat steeped in historic charm.

The individually decorated rooms, some featuring four-poster beds, open fireplaces, or claw-foot bathtubs, blend Victorian sophistication with modern comforts, each with private balconies overlooking the meticulously landscaped gardens. Intricately stained glass doors, gleaming wooden floors, and polished banisters, lovingly maintained for over a century, greet guests, while two reception rooms showcase captivating period furnishings, evoking an era of unhurried grace.

The fine-dining restaurant, adorned with wooden floors, white tablecloths, and chandeliers, serves exquisite cuisine using the finest china and silverware, with breakfast available in-room for added privacy. Guests can relax by the outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers, or enjoy a leisurely match on the estate's tennis court, enveloped by the tranquil beauty of the sprawling gardens.

A mere 10-minute drive from Humewood's beach and within 5 km of three premier golf courses, Hacklewood Hill offers effortless exploration of Port Elizabeth's attractions. Complimentary private parking and a shuttle service to Port Elizabeth Airport, just 4 km away, ensure seamless convenience, making this historic manor a refined haven for those seeking a nostalgic yet luxurious escape.
