East London is known as one of South Africa's most down-to-earth destinations - a place where people take life slowly and savour simplicity.

That same spirit runs through everything we do at Hathaway. No pretence, no checklist service - just genuine care, extended the way it's always been done here.

In an industry chasing bigger and flashier, we're proud to keep things simple, warm, and real.

If you're the type of person that needs to do less and focus on rest, we have just the thing for you!

Long leisurely days by the pool.

Early morning breakfasts under the trees.

A quiet round of golf or just a ride around the course in a cart instead – because not everyone agrees on these things…

It doesn't matter what it is. If it's rest and relaxation you're after, you've come to the right place. Because Hathaway has a way of making you want to slow down and take it easy.

Let's be honest - waking up to the smell of bacon cooking is one of life's simple pleasures. Waking up to bacon someone else is cooking, with zero dishes waiting for you after? Pure bliss!

Add crisp, freshly laundered linen that practically begs you to stay in bed a little longer, and you've got the making of a proper Hathaway morning.
No alarms, no chores calling your name – just a leisurely start to the day.

As summer approaches, East London welcomes cruise liners once again - offering international visitors a glimpse into history before they've even left the harbour.

From the Multicultural Man and German Settlers Monument on the Esplanade, guests arriving by sea are greeted with a window into the region's rich cultural heritage.

Tourists don't need to venture far from the port to enjoy the warm hospitality of Hathaway. We are happy to recommend day cruises for a change of scenery.

Well worth it for a different view of the coastline.
