    We only paid extra for breakfast. That was because it was never included in the price for the room.

Born in Zimbabwe( once Rhodesia) from Dutch decent, have lived in Africa most of my life. I have 4 children and have travelled and lived in Europe for 10 years. I returned to Zimbabwe in the early 90s and settled in Harare, then married a farmer and moved onto a farm in Raffingora. Then due to invasions we lost the farm and in 2002. I moved back to Harare with my family and later we went to farm Zambia. In 2012, I became widowed so I sold everything in Zambia and moved to South Africa and made this my new home with my children, I eventually decided to follow my passion of running my own Guest House. I decided on Grahamstown due to the fact my children were at shcool here . I found a gem of a house and redesigned this my way to suit the industry . My guest house is my pride and passion. I enjoy working with people of all kinds and welcome guests from all over the world. I am proud of what I have built up, we are celebrating 9 years this year of being 4 star graded establishment with TGSA. We are in the lovely suburb of West Hill , where you can peace and tranqulity and we ( my staff and I ) continue to serve the public and I thank God for this opportunity
