“A magical stay, nestled in a fabulously maintained garden with countless thought to details.”

“Comfortable, lovely property and friendly staff”
The cottage looked even better than in the pictures. My family and I had a very comfortable stay. The place is very close to town and the 1820 Settlers' Monument. The place came equipped with amenities and extras to make our stay extra comfortable. The owner also made sure everything was set and ready before our arrival, and if we needed anything, she was just a call away. Overall, we had a lovely stay and will definitely book the property again should we travel to Makhanda

“The bed was extremely comfortable.”
A great place for family and near to Diocesan school for Girls. It was very nice; the host was very cheerful and very kind. She gave us a room upgrade for my child’s birthday. May God truly bless you so much. I will definitely come back again to stay there with my child.

Peaceful and comfortable stay just around the corner to SAC with secure parking. Thank you Ros, for a warm welcome & agreeing to a much appreciated early check-in on a rainy day.

“Perfect... comfortable and peaceful for our stay and many more to come.”
We didn't book breakfast. Location is perfect for us whilst visiting nearby Reibeek East. The information given where to go about in Grahamstown was very helpful.
