Windsor Hotel

The Windsor Hotel offers spectacular panoramic views of the ocean and the opportunity to enjoy whale watching, an absolute Western Cape highlight, from the comfort of your sea-facing room.

Perched on a cliff edge, Windsor is the oldest hotel in the area and blends turn-of-the-century elegance and quaint charm with personal service and modern comforts.

It is located in Hermanus, just over an hour’s scenic drive from Cape Town. The village is a favourite holiday destination all year round due to its mild Mediterranean climate and safe, clean, sandy beaches.
