The welcoming from the host was out of this world. The place is clean and in a quiet residential. Beautiful place and we'll kept. Free wifi and Netflix for me were the best. Care from the owners was out of this world. It's a place to visit if you are in Makhanda.

“It is a great place with an affordable price and EXCELLENT service.”
I liked the fact that it was so clean and still student-budget friendly. The pictures on the booking site were accurate because the place looked exactly like the pictures. It was so peaceful and quiet when I needed to study, and the owners were so hospitable and friendly. 10/10 service. Definitely will recommend it to everyone I know.
