The Humewood Hotel

Known as the “Friendliest Hotel in the Friendly City” for good reason. The Humewood Hotel is and has been an icon on the Port Elizabeth beach front for many years. This privately owned and managed establishment sets the standard for personalised service excellence. When you enter our front door you will be transformed into a friendly, relaxed and welcoming “Home from Home” experience.

Situated on the Port Elizabeth beach front across the road from arguably one of South Africa’s most pristine beaches, the Blue Flagged Kings Beach, and within easy reach of the entire city (and all of it’s attractions) and with one of the best views of Algoa Bay is a haven of tranquillity and friendliness. Why not come and experience the fourth best coastal climate worldwide and the coastal city with the most daylight hours in the world?

Whatever you decide to do, the Humewood Hotel is close to all the fabulous historical attractions of the settler city of Port Elizabeth, which has become a premier resort destination for the discerning holiday maker.

From your well appointed bedroom you are able to look out over the Indian Ocean where centuries ago Portuguese Navigators conducted their daring voyages of discovery and today’s adventurers sail their wind surfers, kite surfers, surf boards and yachts, launching from a myriad of Blue Flagged beaches, in the protected waters of the fabulous Algoa Bay. It’s all out there waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

After a wonderful day of exploring the delights of Nelson Mandela Bay what better way of unwinding than enjoying a sun downer on the deck of the Quarterdeck Bar whilst relaxing and watching the bay in all its splendour. And to complete the experience, our table, although international award winning, still retains the trappings of one of the best dining experiences that you will receive anywhere in the city at reasonable rates with quality home style cooking.

Our well appointed bedrooms have been decorated with pale golden parmarfin wood fittings and wardrobes, with cane furniture offsetting the colour and adding that classic touch that only cane can do. Our rooms are en-suite and are fitted with air conditioning, television, direct dial telephone, ceiling fans (controlled from the comfort of your bed), tea and coffee making facilities. Satellite television is available in the bar for those that want to keep up to date on world news or sporting events.

If you are tired and disillusioned with the modern sterile hospitality experiences where you are only a number and staff who have forgotten the value of the simple things in life such as a smile, then you need to treat yourself to this piece of paradise with people who really care about you.
