Hacklewood Hill County House

One of the Port Elizabeth’s five-star graded boutique hotels, this 1898 Victorian Manor House is set in a lush, secluded country garden, abundant with bird-life. Hacklewood Hill is furnished throughout with period furniture and fabrics. Polished wood, richly coloured walls and roaring fireplaces add to the character of this classic country house. Each of the eight en-suite, air-conditioned bedrooms has a private verandah. The large Victorian bathrooms have separate showers and heated towel-rails. The cordon bleu chef uses only the finest and freshest ingredients for the dinners served in the elegant restaurant, where a large brass candelabra is a special feature. The English country garden provides a tranquil setting, while a tennis-court and swimming-pool are available for the more energetic guests. Port Elizabeth is situated close to the Eastern Cape’s many malaria-free game reserves.
