Distinct in character
Whistlewood Guest House situated in Walmer, Gqeberha was built in circa 1875, originally influenced by Victorian and Dutch architecture and owned by wealthy prince merchants of the period. Walmer, a then upmarket rural garden village with its wide leafy tree lanes and own railway line attracted many, and its popularity has not waned. Much has changed over the years, as Walmer is a bustling business and residential area. Its leafy and central position makes it the perfect place to stay.
