“Lovely stay and great value for money”
Andi was superb - cleaned the unit without us expecting it and set out a lovely braai stand on the second night. Rooms are lovely and big and unit has all needed for a short stay.

“It was exceptional; truly HOME away from home.”
The location was good; it is closer to city centre as described. They dont offer breakfast; it is self catering. The lady who looks after the property cleaned the dishes that we cook breakfast with which we were very grateful for.

“A little paradise.”
Mimosa is a little paradise. We enjoyed everything about the property. Charisma, the owner and the house keeper Andy were so hospitable. They went above and beyond to make us feel as supported as possible. The two dogs were adorable! Rassie & Lilly made us feel so welcome. We hope to return again next year.

“Our stay was beautiful and we have found ourselves a hidden Gem 💎”
Wow! Wow! Wow 🤩 The pictures aren’t doing enough justice for this place, they have upgraded them. Firstly the great ambience from the lady Ivy. We loved every bit of the place, Attention to detail 🙌🏾I could take the experience back home. From the freshness and cleanliness of the place. The linen 🙌🏾, the mattresses 🙌🏾, pillow hugging cushions, the kitchenette is superb 👌🏾 with welcoming butter, jar of rusks, sugar, coffee, milk, tea ☕️ , spice, olive oil, Pure tranquility, no noise just echoes of the birds singing outside especially in the morning. Very private with the view of beautiful Garden. I couldn’t never think of any place when visiting Grahamstown. Loved 🥰 it.
