I only planned a stop in Port Elizabeth to stay at Hacklewood Hill Country house, due to the reviews and descriptions from other travellers that just made me want to experience it myself. When we walked into the entrance hall of the hotel, it was obvious someone had thoughtfully taken the time and expense of carefully renovating the house (built in the late 1890's as a Doctors family house) then using fixtures fittings and furnishings to transport visitors back to 1910 - 20 . The room was large, comfortable and clean the bathroom just the place for a party (sooo big). The revelation of the visit was the quality of the food, it may have been worth staying an extra night for another dinner, it was that good.
