Isabelle
Séjour d'une nuit seulement mais le site est paisible et on a l'impression d'être dans une résidence et non un hôtel.
Louise
Pleasant and convenient
Was slightly disappointed as the property wasn't as nice as I'd expected. It was comfortable enough but seemed a little tired. There was no hot water in the morning so had a luke-warm shower. Its very convenient to the airport, shops and restaurants. All amenities were provided in the room although I thought that the battered ironing board on display didn't do much for the decor.
Alice
Forest Hall is our “go to” place to stay in Port Elizabeth. Staff and management are wonderful, the setting is lovely and the rooms are lovely!

Nice guesthouse but disappointing
Forest Hall guest house is located in a beautiful area of Port Elizabeth and has a huge and amazing garden. It's secluded and very pleasant. The room itself was very big' with a kitchen and all amenities. The hosts are lovely people. Breakfast was ordinary but goog enough. The things that disappointed us were: The place is very old and worn down and needs urgent remodeling. Level of cleaness low - sheets came with stains and many ants on kitchen counter.
Verified traveler
A welcoming property with attentive staff. The fruit salad at breakfast lea few oomph for improvement. Mine host works hard to make guests happy.

This is my second visit to Forest Hall and it did not disappoint, it real is an excellent place to stay :)

My family and I loved it! the rooms/apartments are around a big garden that really looks like a forest. Our room was like a loft with everything we needed. Staff and owners were very kind and ready to receive us and the other guests. Everything was perfect!
Anne
First night of our Garden Route Tour
Lovely place with lots of old world charm. We rented the family unit that has the pool directly out front - it confortably fit the 4 of us. Great breakfast and they even had an ‘honor bar’ where you could get a cold beer and they just put it on your tab. Overall great hospitality. The only suggestions I have is to have better quality wine selection in the ‘honor bar’. The white wine was pretty much not drinkable. Also there is no airconditioning - lots of fans provided, but may be a bit too warm if you are there in the summer months. We were here at the very end of summer.
Verified traveler
The place is beautiful and has excellent facilities including two lovely pools and a tennis court. The staff were lovely, breakfast was amazing and the rooms really cute. The only thing was the fan was a bit slow so it was a little hot when we got there but it cools down nicely in the evening.
Verified traveler
Forest Hall is in a spacious, quiet, and peaceful setting, and you will be pampered during your stay by the guesthouse owners. The room is stocked with amenities like an iron, hair dryer, complimentary sherry and water and chocolates, and much more. Breakfast in the morning is also lovely and the dining room is like eating at a high-end restaurant.

Lovely guest home and friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Beautiful grounds. Breakfast was fantastic! A great place to stay while visiting Port Elizabeth. Enjoyed everything about my stay however I did not realize that the guestrooms did not have air conditioning but fortunately the weather was mild enough that it wasn't missed too much. All in all, however, this was a lovely home and we really enjoyed out stay!

Perfect In Every Way
Set in beautiful surroundings, the guesthouse manages to be homely and luxurious all at the same time. Comfiest of beds, tasty breakfast and lovely personal touches. James really couldn't do enough for us and most graciously assisted in jump starting our car when the battery went dead. You won't be within walking distance of anything so a car is required but really accessible to the Walmer shopping plazas and a short drive to Summerstrand.

Simply the Best ...
There may be no better host in the industry than James at Forest Hall. It is one of my favorite stays in the entire country. I have a lot of guesthouse stays carved into my travellers stick and truly this is one is up there with the best of the best.
Extraordinary for the rate.
You need not think to hard before you book here - I wouldn't really wait too long just incase they run out of space - I would actually plan a trip around finding accommodation here.

The room was beautiful with a seating area on a nice balcony. Everything was thought of meticulously. Breakfast was delicious. Even the choice of music during breakfast was of very good taste. Loved everything about it.

Fantastic B and B
A fantastic B and B close to PE airport and Walmer shopping mall.
Met by James and given a quick tour and made to feel so welcome. There are some excellent eateries nearby and although the weather was a tad too cold to enjoy the swimming pool, my son and I had a very pleasant hour or so using the tennis court.
A great breakfast the next morning set us up nicely for our journey up to Amakhla game lodge.
Have no hesitation in recommending this as a great place to stay

Surprise Outside of Johannesburg!
This is such a lovely and well-kept secret! We needed a place close to the airport, and while it is, you might as well be on a safari! We were offered numerous day-trips to Johannesburg and Soweto, for Elephant Reserves and Big Cat Reserves, but in the end, the grounds were so lovely, and the pool so inviting, we ended up staying.
Rodney picked us up from the airport, and was very friendly and answered all our questions.
The restaurant was also VERY good, but the service was a bit lacking. Out of left field, I had some of the BEST spaghetti sauce outside of Italy that I have ever had. Another gem!

Outstanding beautiful property
Outstanding room with every amenity that you could think off. The owners were very helpful and make me feel welcome. It was sad that I couldn't stay longer as the property was beautiful, plenty of safe off street parking in a quiet neighbourhood. The breakfast was excellent and well thought out.

Beautiful garden.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Forest Hall. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and a great place to relax among the garden. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast had many options including eggs to order. The place requires a car to get to. The neighborhood is nice and good for leisurely walking or a run. Our room was comfortable and clean. We felt very much at home in the guest house. The kids even went swimming in the pool.

Breakfast was nicely cooked and laid out. Service very attentive. Highly recommended. Could have stayed longer - maybe next time!

The exterior and the grounds are beautiful. The room was large and cosy. The bathroom must have been recently updated as it was very fresh and modern.

If you and family want a home \"away from home\" experience, do not miss an opportunity to stay with Zoe and James. FH has history, a large walled garden estate (noted in history book) and residential - homey location. Very near airport, yet need rental car to experience PE/Garden Route (N2 highway). We, my daughter and I, treated as comforted family with daily home cooked breakfast; a surprised self-accommodation room with fridge, stove, microwave, dishes. James recommended tour companies where we experienced first hand elephant sightings/walk/bare-back riding and up-front whale watching. Zoe's personal service, interests, and \"mother-hood\" made our six day stay the best experienced in South Africa. We will return again and again. P.S. Several business persons came/went during our stay and expressed the same.

Beautiful, tranquil guesthouse with great hosts
We stayed here at Forest Hall for 2 nights earlier this year. The property is beautiful with a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere, you totally forget you are in a city location. It is well placed in a nice area of Port Elizabeth, easy to drive and explore the local area...
James and Hilary were excellent hosts and gave us great local recommendations, excellent fillet steaks at Bocadillos nearby!
The room was very large with great decor and everything we needed. Would definitely recommend Forest Hall for a stay in Port Elizabeth.

Best B&B in South Africa
My friend and I stayed in the beautiful Forest Hall for 1 night while doing a round trip of South Africa and we were just so happy we found this pearl in Port Elisabeth. The guest house is absolutely stunning and the rooms so nice with a lot of attention to details and a great personal touch. The real highlight of our stay was the owners, who went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. Made our room ready as soon as we arrived even if we were there really early. Sorted out a privat guided tour around Port Elizabeth with a great local guide called Alan, who I will aslo highly recommed. Sorted out lunch for us and arranged booking for our dinner. Provided us with shuttle service to and from the restaurant and also to the airport the next morning to pick up a rental car. I can only highly recommend this place and would come back anytime. We stayed a lot of great places in South Africa but this one was just above everything else we tried.

Quiet location and ideal base for touring the area
Excellent spacious accommodation with large beautiful garden, easy access to attractions in Port Elizabeth and touring surrounding countryside. It is set in a quiet residential suburb with an excellent golf course just across the road (150yds from bedroom to clubhouse!) Friendly helpful management and relaxed atmosphere. Excellent breakfast with wide choice of cold buffet and cooked options. Would definitely stay here again. We didn't need it but the rooms were very well equipped for the disabled !

pleasant stay
The owners do everything they can to make your stay an enjoyable experience. As we didn't have transport they took us down to the waterfront and to the airport.
Its a fairly safe area.
