I liked everything about the place mostly because of the host, she’s passionate about this, she would check every morning if I need anything, very understanding and considerate, I’m definitely sure I will book there again when I go to grahamstown, and I was handed the keys by her, she fetched me from the frontier hotel, how sweet? I love everything about there simply because of her.

    The set up was perfect and cozy. They provided a heater and electric blankets which were very helpful since it was cold. The fireplace also adds a homely ambiance. Close to town in a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood.

    This was my second stay at this establishment, which is a tastefully restored cluster of historical cottages around a main house. I'd describe the style as elegant bohemian, without being overly precious. The owner is an artist. Staff are efficient and friendly. Located within walking distance of the historical center of town, as well as beautiful neighbourhoods for leisurely walks.

    No breakfast as the main part of the lodge has suffered fire damage some while ago. We stayed in a property adjacent to the owner,Victors, home which was very comfortable and cosy and well equipped,. They also have a 2nd upstairs room available. Nice to be able to be out of the bustle of the town.
