Our Stoneyvale Cottages are situated in the 9000HA Fort Governor's Estate just outside Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Our reserve is home to over 28 different species of animals including Giraffe and Buffalo. We pride ourselves on being completely off-grid with all our Lodges operated off solar power, gas and the freshest drinking water, straight from the farm
We are a small, close-knit team who work together to ensure the best possible experience for our guests
The area where we are situated allows easy day trips to the fantastic beaches of the Eastern Cape, museums and cultural experiences in our local city of Grahamstown and balmy nights around the fire right here on the reserve
