Property information

Our guesthouse is tucked away in the lovely treed suburb of Walmer in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. We are only 2km away from the airport and 5km from the beautiful beaches of Port Elizabeth and close to all amenities.

Neighbourhood information

In 1815 a farm known as Welbedacht was granted to Mr Anthony Michael Muller by Lord Charles Somerset. In 1852 a portion of the farm was sub-divided and transferred to the Mayor of Port Elizabeth. The portion called "Muller Town" was renamed to Walmer as a token of respect to the Duke of Wellington. He passed away at Walmer Castle in Kent, England. Built by Henry VIII in 1539–1540, Walmer Castle served as an artillery fortress to counter the threat of invasion from Catholic France and Spain.
