Such a warm welcome from the very first moment. Excellent accommodation, outstanding range of wildlife and excellent food. Wonderful breakfast on the balcony overlooking elephants at the watering hole. Could not be more perfect. Ranger, Rayno, was so professional and with such great expertise. Made the whole experience simply perfect. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for a great stay.

A gorgeous historic property with a beautiful serene ambience and incredible style. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Sam with a huge smile and genuine welcome, to sitting in the beautiful gardens enjoying an aperitif, sinking down into the most comfortable bed for an incredible night's sleep and finally enjoying a delicious breakfast OUR STAY WAS PERFECT. Kudos to Sam for doing such a great job..he is a gem!

Everything. From the moment we arrived every member of staff was friendly and accomodating. Our chalet was superb overlooking the watering hole. The pool overlooking the watering hole had a constant stream of wildlife passing all day. The spa experience was great. The menu has good variety and changed daily. The food is well prepared and portion sizes are large. Nothing is a problem for the staff Our game drives were amazing. Our jeep has 6 passengers and our ranger made sure to make us all feel like it was a personal tour. The selection of wildlife here is incredible. Every corner had something new of a different size and species. The number of each animal was huge. These are literally wild free roaming animals maintaining a life as they would in the wild. Numbers are not over curated. The night drive brings out a whole new selection of game viewings. The game drive drinks break were fantastic. We'd pull in and out ranger would have a nice selection of drinks and homemade trears to snack on but mostly had a really good interaction with the guests about the game we had just seen, what we wanted from the rest of the drive/future drives and even exploring each others lives outside of the safari. A real personal touch.

    Convenient location – easy walk to downtown and the university, but in a quiet and beautiful area away from heavy traffic and city noise. All the staff were friendly, gracious, and efficient and went above and beyond to help. The room was cleaned exceedingly well every day and all necessary provisions (plus a few extras) were refreshed daily. The apples were delicious. There were surprisingly many pillows. Even my fairly small room had cooking facilities and a refrigerator, all of which helped me a lot.

    The chalet is comfortable, spacious and clean with everything needed for a self catering stay. What made this stay exceptional for us was the incredible hospitality of our hosts. We’d arrived at the lodge on a whim at the last minute and were very ill prepared for our stay but our hosts went above and beyond to make us welcome and comfortable. Thank you so much for a memorable stay!

    “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.”

    A truly remarkable African safari experience.

    A truly remarkable African safari experience. The staff were just incredible, warm and welcoming. So many special touches and extra effort into making a birthday celebration the best and most memorable experience possible. Delicious food, great South African wine and the best of the bush. Great game viewing! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something extraordinary!

    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.

    The staff, guides, game drives, units and meals were all superior. Just make sure your unit is secured when you go away, as we left a window open and the poor staff had their hands full cleaning up as the monkeys managed to get in and had a huge party with my grand-daughter's glitter paint!

    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
