When is the best time to go to Windermere?

The best time to visit Windermere is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. During these months, you'll experience pleasant, warm days with very little rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the natural beauty of the region. The temperatures are generally comfortable, ranging from 18°C to 25°C, superb for enjoying the local attractions without the intense heat of summer. Couples looking for a romantic getaway will appreciate the clear skies and cooler evenings, superb for stargazing or enjoying a quiet dinner al fresco. Many of the vineyards are in full swing during this period, offering tastings and tours. For families, the dry season provides excellent conditions for wildlife viewing in nearby reserves, as animals tend to gather around water sources, making them easier to spot.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Windermere hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Windermere hotel?

Hotel prices in Windermere often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

"Very nice and well located boutique hotel. Staff very friendly. The breakfasts are delicious and have very generous portions. Dining in is also recommended but the selection may be limited and can be out of meat which was very disappointing. Had another beef plate because they were out steaks, but it had too many fat pieces. I politely made a couple of recommendations to avoid this unpleasant culinary experience."

Top Windermere Hotel Reviews

Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional stay, nothing was too much trouble. Extensive breakfast options and always great service"

Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport

10/10 Excellent

"So well designed for airport travel, as you might expect! The free shuttle to and from the terminal makes arrival and departure straightforward. Breakfast is incredible and starts at 4am for early flyers! Didn’t get a chance to try the pool or spa, but the bar was fun. No door on the shower was a bit strange."

ONOMO Hotel Cape Town Foreshore

10/10 Excellent

"This was in an excellent location. The breakfast was terrific. The beds and rooms were comfortable. The only thing I didn’t like was the shower and toilet which are located in the room inside a etched glass enclosure, which made for an awkward friend’s trip when sharing a room with my friend. The shower also ran hot and cold at the same time - probably on the same water line as the laundry or kitchen line. I would still definitely stay here again."
