The independently owned Windsor Hotel and Self-Catering Apartments stand proudly on the edge of Hermanus's breathtaking Walker Bay with a panoramic vista featuring the world's best whale-watching available in most rooms. Southern Right whales have been breeding and feeding here for centuries (July – November) and our guests have been returning, generation after generation, to delight in this spectacle. The 120-year-old Windsor, near the town centre and its rich variety of restaurants, galleries and shops, has been modernised but steadfastly retains its family atmosphere with home-from-home hospitality. A stunning 120km drive from Cape Town brings you to the famous champagne air of Hermanus, where you can relax in comfort at the venerable Windsor or enjoy a wide variety of gentle or adventurous activities. SPECIAL NOTICE: The Windsor Hotel is proud to announce the completion of our renovated rooms on the ground floor and the 2nd floor. The 2018 programme for the balance of room renovations will be: 5 rooms in the main building between 16 January to mid-February 2018, and then the 1st floor rooms between May to August 2018. Our guest comfort is paramount and we endeavour to do our very best to minimize disruption during guest's stay. Please advise all guests travelling to the Windsor Hotel.
