I liked everything! It’s sophisticated yet cosy experience. Friendly staff, good food. I read some comments about the food suggesting it should be improved. I am really picky with the food. In this game reserve, the food was very good home-made type. Do not expect please fine dining type but a good quality home-made fresh varied food will be served. Safari experience and the lodges (the ones facing the bushes and near the spa) are perfect and stylish. Everything is not new there but that’s on purpose, it’s more like an elegant vintage style. I recommend staying from 3 to 5 days there to just relax, see all the animals and enjoy Spa.

“I visited a town in South Africa called Grahamstown, also known as Makhanda. It is a beautiful place. At first, it looks small, but it has very good schools and University there . It is also easy to get around, and the security there is very good. People can walk freely and enjoy the town.”

The historical aspects were fascinating, especially the old Churches and cathedrals. These are largely untouched from the general significant decline in basic services. We were only there for a sporting event. Not sure it is a place we would consider a holiday destination.

Grahamstown has amazing old buildings and history. BUT the roads are a disaster !! Giant potholes everywhere and some of the roads you have to actually look for the tar that is left. The municipality should be ashamed. African road between 3 biggest private schools is abysmal

It is a town where one can shop around. The roads are so shocking, there are potholes everywhere and they are bad. I was so worried about my tyres. That is the only reason that would make me not to visit Grahamstown, roads are very bad.

The Grahamstown Art festival was the attraction.

The Grahamstown Art festival was the attraction. Grahamstown, being an academic hub, has the potential to do more to attract visitors. This will surely boost the much needed economic drive. We popped in at the local Steers around 19h00 on our way home. The eatery was quite busy but service a bit slow.

The peppergrove mall is actually a shopping complex not a mall, with limited stores. The road needs to be maintained the ia a lot of pothholes from the main road to reach the peppergrove mall. The donkies and cows that roaming around need to be kep safe as they can cause accident

Our accomodation was basic: spacious but simple, no frills fittings. The table and chairs were much appreciated. The lounge furniture was too low and uncomfortable. I was surprised to find no reception area. The restaurant served a truly memorable breakfast and catered to our gluten free dietary needs. I suggest a no glass at the swimming pool policy. The history of the buildings was very interesting. It's 30 minutes outside Grahamstown, so not easy to pick up some groceries, but close to private game farms for booked tours.

The hosts are friendly and extremely accommodating of all our requests. The accommodation is spacious, clean and every possible detail thought of and provided for. The view from the deck is amazing! Walking out with delicious coffee, from the fully equipped kitchen, to see Grahamstown from above, surrounded by birdsong and greenery! Will definitely make this our go-to spot when visiting Grahamstown!
