Like???? I loved everything about the place. From the night I checked in, I received a warm welcome from the patient owner that waited for my arrival even after the check-in time has passed. Oh the room... so clean! Had everything that's listed on the booking page. Did I mention your friendly staff? Those ladies are for keeps. Thank you for your hospitality, you're the best.

    Exceptionally clean and tidy with all necessary appliances - as well as a very useful gas stove and gas heater. The hosts are kind and communicative, but also give you a lot of space. Quiet neighborhood, conveniently located. The private entrance and parking space are great! Thoroughly recommended.

    Quiet place, comfortable bed and room, microwave and fridge per room, option to do laundry. The location is a healthy 20 to 25 minutes walk away from the city centre. But that also means no traffic around and the freshest air, with nice views. And Makhanda/Grahamstown has (cheap) Uber, and the two Uber drivers of the town (two brothers) by now know the place.

    This is a perfect stay if you need a quiet, private and safe space as a base when visiting the town (or Rhodes University). It is still close enough to the shops, restaurants, and campus for a very short drive or a pleasant walk. The guest house team is also very welcoming and accomodating.

    Everything is very well executed. Yvonne, the owner and the staff cannot do more to make you feel welcome. The rooms are behind the main building, very private and quiet. Bathrooms are very well equipped. Then there is the restaurant, very fine dining in a historic building, a massive dining room and a lounge/breakfast room, well worth the visit.
