A most magical sanctuary, with expansive views to give a phenomenal perspective and readily see the surrounding wildlife. Comfortable large room, beautifully pebbled shower. Great kitchen with all you need to stay, nourish and settle into the wild expanse. Tranquil and beautifully wild surroundings. You have your own private balcony, braai area and garden overlooking the river where all the animals venture. The sunrises and sunsets burst a luminous vibrant show across the landscape. I highly recommend going for a paddle, purple lilies, a large turtle same beside us, many buck, bush pigs, soaring eagles, loeries, weavers…… we also saw a giraffe. The walks to are spectacular, with the most fascinating terrain. Large cacti with flowers unfurling, dense forest and open terrains. The landscape singing with all at play. I felt most safe staying here and walking the property solo , as well as paddling with my daughter. My family enjoyed this holiday and we will surely return.

    “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. 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.

    I recently stayed at 8A Grahamstown and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious and offered great value for money. The property itself is beautiful, with comfortable and well-appointed rooms that made my stay incredibly relaxing. What truly stood out was the warm and friendly hospitality of the host, who made me feel right at home. I would highly recommend 8A Grahamstown to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay.

    Quiet place, comfortable bed and room, microwave and fridge per room, option to do laundry. The location is a healthy 20 to 25 minutes walk away from the city centre. But that also means no traffic around and the freshest air, with nice views. And Makhanda/Grahamstown has (cheap) Uber, and the two Uber drivers of the town (two brothers) by now know the place.
