The amenities available in Port Elizabeth and the greater Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Area are unsurpassed. We are easily accessible by road, air and rail (the airport and railway station are a mere three kilometres from the hotel). Directly across the road from the hotel is the Blue Flagged Kings Beach with vast expanses of golden beach frontage and rolling lawns and a mere 750 metres from the hotel is the Blue Flagged Humewood Beach which is the gate way to the paradise of Happy Valley.

If fresh water is more your forte, then the Mac Arthur Swimming and Leisure complex is approximately 150 meters from the hotel offering a heated full size swimming pool, a natural temperature full size swimming pool, and a kids pool with water slides. This is a secure environment with access to Kings Beach and reasonable priced tickets are available at the hotel reception

A mere 500 meters from the hotel is Bay World which incorporates the Oceanarium with daily shows, a snake park with daily handling demonstrations, and the Port Elizabeth Museum where you can revel in the history of this vibrant and exiting Settler city.

One and a half kilometres from the hotel, you are able to transform your world at the Boardwalk Casino and entertainment complex. This complex is your one stop entertainment haven with casino, movie theatres, amphitheatre, ten pin bowling alley, children (and adults of a younger persuasion) entertainment area, shops, restaurants and pubs.

As a service to clients outings to a wide variety of destinations can be arranged with the aid of our competent hotel team. The Eastern Cape boasts the big five (Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Cheetah, and Rhino) at a number of prime destinations, the cream of the crop being the world renowned Addo Elephant Park in a uniquely malaria free environment. Within easy reach are a number of tour options including excursions into the Garden Route, Graaff Reinet (Valley of Desolation), or the Settlers trip (Grahamstown, Bathurst, and Port Alfred). There are a number of local full day and half day outings within the Nelson Mandela Bay with new and unique options becoming available on a regular basis. You will never be able to get this close to nature in it’s true form as you will in the Eastern Cape, the gateway to the Garden Route and all it’s wonderful adventures.

In close proximity to the hotel are a number of sporting venues with the only true Links Golf Course in South Africa, the Humewood Golf Club, being a mere three and a half kilometres from the hotel. In and around Port Elizabeth are a number of eighteen and nine hole golf courses each with its own flavour and attraction. Port Elizabeth has in recent years become known as the water sport capital of South Africa with the Splash Festival taking pride of place every Easter. Recently added was the multipurpose stadium which has been built to host World Cup football games and remains as the definitive stadium of choice for most sporting disciplines into the future.

Whether it’s wide open sandy beaches, crashing waves, a protected pool, or a well deserved sundowner under a shady beach umbrella, the Humewood Hotel is your Mecca for fun and convenience.
