Our guesthouse is tucked away in the lovely treed suburb of Walmer in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. We are only 2km away from the airport and 5km from the beautiful beaches of Port Elizabeth and close to all amenities.
Welcome to The Farmhouse B&B. We are passionate about our guesthouse and Port Elizabeth (South Africa's best kept secret). We have been trading for NINETEEN YEARS and because we owner manage this place we strive to provide you with a memorable stay in a good old-fashioned farm-style atmosphere in the friendly city. Your hosts, Bill and Melanie Harrison
In 1815 a farm known as Welbedacht was granted to Mr Anthony Michael Muller by Lord Charles Somerset. In 1852 a portion of the farm was sub-divided and transferred to the Mayor of Port Elizabeth. The portion called "Muller Town" was renamed to Walmer as a token of respect to the Duke of Wellington. He passed away at Walmer Castle in Kent, England. Built by Henry VIII in 1539–1540, Walmer Castle served as an artillery fortress to counter the threat of invasion from Catholic France and Spain.
