“Thank you for such a memorable visit. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting the ar”
An incredible stay at 8A Grahamstown, from the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how stunning the property is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and truly luxurious. A special mention must go to the gentleman who looked after us during our stay Mo. He was simply exceptional,attentive, warm, and incredibly professional. His hands-on approach made us feel completely at home, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Truly one of the best hospitality experiences we’ve had.

The setup, the views, the beds. Grahamstown (Makanda) has a water crisis but we had water thanks to the bore hole they have. Mo, the gentleman who assisted us, was awesome!

“Beautiful, comfortable guest house where you are superbly looked after. Can’t recommend it highly enough.”
Lovely clean, comfortable rooms with excellent indoor and outside communal spaces at the property. Topped off by being exceptionally well looked after by Mo. Delicious breakfast too with a great choice of hot and cold food and juices. This really was a fantastic first stop on our holiday. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
