Enjoy green vistas of the Walmer Golf Course. Taunton Lodge & Mews are self catering units, centrally located 10 minutes from the airport and all the historical attractions which coastal Port Elizabeth has to offer. Leafy avenue walks and of course the very close proximity of a premier golf course. YOUR WELCOMING HOST ROY LIVES ON SITE.
Port Elizabeth has been my home for 35 years. We enjoy meeting people and love the diversity in guests that I have encountered over the years. My favourite activities include visiting the Addo National Elephant Park, exploring our coastline for Bottlenose Dolphins and Whales. We love to travel and meeting people and look forward to welcoming you Port Elizabeth.
Leafy avenue walks and of course the very close proximity of a premier golf course. Walmer is an affluent residential area known for tree-lined streets bordered by lavish homes. The upscale Walmer Park shopping mall houses department stores and a food court, while the 9-hole Walmer Golf Estate offers views onto part of the Baakens Valley. In the valley, the Lower Guinea Fowl Hiking Trail crosses flood plains and Dodd’s Farm, a nature area with rich vegetation and a mountain bike path
