I liked everything. Best place to stay in GHT. excellent services. The ladies Linda and Monica are amazing, excellent customer care. Feel comfortable and safe stepping out and leaving my children in the room. Even have a study where i can have conference calls or my daughter can study from. The cleanliness is top notch. Lindas cooking tops it all but make sure you ask her in advance if you want dinner. Her salads are wonderful. I just cant complain. Actually I can ----you have to book early especially during the times surrounding schools have activities. Ballon weekend and K-Day they are already booked for the next 2 years.😩. I will not go anywhere else if they have room. Been staying there for the last 5 years. My second option would be their sister residence 8A.

This is a remarkable find among places to stay. The staff are professional and thoroughly welcoming. The log fires in a cold July - the decanter of sherry for guests - the innovative and thoughtful decor - and the comfort of this retreat during intense conferences at Rhodes University are all exceptional. The location is convenient and safe. The Highlander across the road became a meeting place for dinner.
Nothing.

The historical home, the expanse of lawn, the spaciousness, the staff, etc. It was lovely.
Everything was so lovely, however, load-shedding has impacted all of us horribly. The drawback for this bedroom is all load-shedding related. The bedroom seemed to be opposite the very loud generator (not sure if it was the neighbors) and with that, I could not use the aircon during load-shedding nor could the TV and bedside table lights be used. With the power being down 4hrs at a time, that made for quite a stiflingly hot evening to catch some sleep along with a seriously loud generator outside. Perhaps a fan could be installed and the generator noise to be muffled out somehow. Not nice things to complain about with them being out of hands, mostly.

The entire place is beautiful and serene. Every facility, amenity or need was catered for. Rooms were very clean, tasteful and spacious. The staff was excellent and helpful, always ready to assist and ensured that our stay was as comfortable as possible. The back up power of lights, certain plug points and a TV in a comfortable lounge were just the cherry on top. Will definitely visit again and would highly recommend this establishment.
There was nothing I didn't like and I have no complaints. Everything was perfect and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our room was lovely and quiet with a view of the pool and garden. Super neat and clean. Beautifully decorated. Our breakfast was just as we ordered and made specially for us just before 8 which was much appreciated.
The lawn around the pool could do with some weeding. Our room had a wonky ceiling fan which made a noise so we had to switch it off when we slept.

The guesthouse was lovely with every comfort you could wish for. They even have a Nespresso machine and the bed had an electric blanket on as well. It also has backup water and power which is a huge bonus in Grahamstown. Lots of safe parking is available and there was a lovely, cosy fire going in the central lounge.
There is one long breakfast table that everyone sits around. I would prefer smaller, separate tables.

Exceptionally high standards, superbly comfortable beds, good showers with enough hot water and pressure in the taps, back up for loadshedding, very friendly and efficient staff- accomodating too. And great breakfasts.
It was of an exceptionally high standard. I wouldn’t complain about a thing.

The breakfast is great and you could tweak to personalize the menu offer. The location is great and within walking distance of essential amenities. The staff is pleasant, and they go the extra mile to meet your quests' requirements
All is great. Security features are in place. Maybe other security features could be pointed out i.e. panic buttons in case of any emergency i.e. medical, burglary, fire, etc.
