Very peaceful and convenient for catching on work or your studies

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Everything really..

“I enjoyed my stay, it met my requirements as a visiting student at Rhodes”

It’s comfortable, it feels like home

“Have stayed before and will always go back!”

Always great

“Very pleasant and enjoyable. I would recommend this place to everybody!”

I stayed at AppleBee in November 2025. The communication beforehand was very smooth and Jeannine was always quick to reply and help out with any questions. All the staff was very kind and Tony makes sure your on site stay runs smoothly. The accommodation was equipped with everything we needed, which made the stay very comfortable and pleasant. Since it was a longer stay it was nice that we were able to cook in the cottage as well. The pool was also a very nice extra. The breakfast was very tasty, if you're not yet sure to book it I would definitely recommend it. If I'm returning to Makhanda I will definitely come back here.

“Pleasant and refreshing.”

Everything.

“It was my first and the last time at the place. I had to cut my stay with them and move to another Guesthouse due to the”

Location, close to my daughter school. The staff is friendly.

Super clean, comfortable and spacious (at least for one or two people) apartment in a quiet area which felt very safe. Could walk to the centre in about 10-15 minutes. Really appreciated the good coffee, cereal and rusks that were available.

“I was sorry to leave.”

I couldn't have wished for a more comfortable and convenient stay. I hope to return.

Very good and safe location and the staff I met were very kind and accommodating. The compound is lovely and the pool nice although I did not use it.

“Applebee Guest Cottage”

The cleaning staff and groundskeeper were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, had several appliances allowing you to be very self sufficient.

“Very enjoyable stay. Will use it again if we need to visit Grahamstown”

Friendliness of just and staff. The amazingly comfortable bed

“Pleasant stay”

The location was prime. I loved that it was a street away from The College of Transfiguration and a few minutes' drive to the schools/shopping center. The area is quiet, and the cottage was spacious and comfortable. Although it's self-catering, they provide cereals, milk, teas,coffee, and tasty rusks. If traveling in a group/ as a family, there's board games in one of the bedroom drawers. There's also a few books you may enjoy in the room. The owners also logged into their Netflix account, saving you ⁵the hassle of having to log in to a new device.

“Great host, beautiful place.”

It was amazing. The environment was so peaceful.

“Great stay.”

Well equipped cottage and close to our son’s school.

“Grahamstown Tournament”

The beds were super comfy and the place was very clean. We had everything we needed in our unit. The pool area was so nice and the pool clean but unfortunately we couldn't swim as the weather didn't play along, it had safe parking and a nice area outside where i could train.

“Ideal for my needs”

It is very convenient, quiet and perfect for me

“Tremendous hospitality in beautiful, friendly Makhanda.”

Convenient location – easy walk to downtown and the university, but in a quiet and beautiful area away from heavy traffic and city noise. All the staff were friendly, gracious, and efficient and went above and beyond to help. The room was cleaned exceedingly well every day and all necessary provisions (plus a few extras) were refreshed daily. The apples were delicious. There were surprisingly many pillows. Even my fairly small room had cooking facilities and a refrigerator, all of which helped me a lot.
