I liked everything about the place. I was so stressed driving long distance and stayed over for just night. Deanna made me feel so calm and made me feel at ease. She showed me the way to the service station by driving infront. She really went of her way and is a fantastic host. The apartment was big with all amenities with little extra luxuries. Thank u Deanna.

Comfortable, clean and neat. Great looking facilities and safe parking behind roll up garage doors. I loved the free coffee, tea, sugar and milk. I even found chocolate on the bed. The fridge and freezer kept me food frozen for my travels. The kitchen had everything that I needed. The owner was friendly and kind. I enjoyed watching Netflix and the sofa was so comfortable.

“A happy guest at The Cottage”
I love how the staff welcomed me. They were exceptional and even went an extra mile in picking me up from town to the venue. I really felt honored. The staff even gave me an early check-in because of my early arrival. Really, that made me happy and welcomed. The staff was really friendly and communicative. I'm definitely coming back to this place whenever I'm having trips to Grahamstown in the future.
