Warm and cosy, authentic old Grahamstown feel.

It is a beautiful old house; it was warm and comfortable. With helpful and friendly staff.

− We could not get our car through the hotel parking gate; car was wider than the gate so had to park in the street. The area is still very noisy at night with clubs or pubs close by.

This is my 2nd stay at the property, an indication that I like it and feel very comfortable.

− My wife felt it was very cold in the bedroom. There is one wall heater which was not sufficient.
