8A Grahamstown  

Tucked away on a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac in Grahamstown, this 4-star guesthouse is minutes from the city centre. It’s a short walk to St Andrew’s College and the Diocesan School for Girls and close to the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. George. Easy base for Rhodes University, local museums and university sights.

Home-comfort vibes with just six guestrooms. Rooms feature satellite TV, desks, electric kettles, complimentary bottled water, hair dryers and bathrobes, with daily housekeeping. The property feels removed from the street noise and has a terrace, garden and a cozy lobby fireplace.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, relax on the terrace or in the garden, or fire up the BBQ. There’s a library, a snack bar/deli and two bars/lounges on site. Babysitting is available (surcharge) and an elevator makes the place easy to navigate.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout, free self-parking, dry cleaning and laundry services, coffee/tea in a common area and complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

Grab quick bites at the snack bar/deli or sit down in the on-site restaurant. Sip a drink at one of two bars/lounges, and enjoy a full cooked breakfast offered daily for a fee.
