Situated just 19 km from Thomas Baines Nature Reserve, Iyana on Stones Hill features accommodation in Grahamstown with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a shared kitchen.

The view from the bedrooms, the kitchen as well as the living rooms were exceptional. It truly made the stay unique. The home is solid, quality finishes, timeless beauty, and spacious enough for our entire family. We didn't want to leave, especially that early in the morning. We will certainly be back. Ziyanda and the team made our stay all the more beautiful with their friendly smile and courteous mannerisms. Thank you, Iyana. We are reminded of what matters most in our home - I would gladly purchase the property if I could 😉

Featuring a patio with garden views, a garden and a shared lounge, 30 on Oatlands Road can be found in Grahamstown, close to St Michael and St George Cathedral and 2.9 km from 1820 Settlers Monument.

Very tidy and clean room, equipped with everything you need from fridge to ironing board. Love the fact that they even cater for those cold winter nites from hot water bottles to electric blankets. The ambience of the place, a home away from home. Friendly staff as well.

    *We were both happy that the accommodation was Neat / Clean & Well equipped. *We appreciated that the accommodation was far enough from the city center noise but close enough for travel. *Having Wi-Fi & Netflix was a bonus as we did not have any evening plans. *The hosts dogs visiting made it feel very home & comfy.

    The host was so warm and friendly, we instantly felt like we were home away from home. I was traveling with my mum and we both share the same sentiments. This guest house not only has everything you need but you can see the attention to detail. It is private and it is safe. We truly enjoyed our stay and we were there for the whole week. We haven't felt homesick at all.

    Quiet place, comfortable bed and room, microwave and fridge per room, option to do laundry. The location is a healthy 20 to 25 minutes walk away from the city centre. But that also means no traffic around and the freshest air, with nice views. And Makhanda/Grahamstown has (cheap) Uber, and the two Uber drivers of the town (two brothers) by now know the place.
