The peppergrove mall is actually a shopping complex not a mall, with limited stores. The road needs to be maintained the ia a lot of pothholes from the main road to reach the peppergrove mall. The donkies and cows that roaming around need to be kep safe as they can cause accident

Roads very badly potholed.
Roads very badly potholed. Town looks very run down - very sad to see, especially by way of contrast with my memories from the early 70s. Municipal funds clearly not being allocated to improving (or even maintaining) municipal services, but no surprises there ...
The Fork & Dagger restaurant was a very pleasant surprise - great food, great service.

Not exactly the town or city it used to be approximately eight or so years ago. No drinkable water, potholes everywhere without exception. It has gone backward so much that the citizens have nothing to be proud of. Unless an urgent intervention is done to change this decay, they will soon lose the festival goers in the future.

Beautiful historic buildings, feels like Europe.
Beautiful historic buildings, feels like Europe. Loved, loved it. Most of the streets are very clean and lovely. I cannot say enough about the friendliness of the people/residents. We saw smiles everywhere you went. It was the most beautiful thing.

I was in Grahamstown for work not for leisure.
I was in Grahamstown for work not for leisure.
The side roads are full of potholes. I can see that an effort was made to fill the potholes in the main street, but the side streets are in a shocking state. The sidewalks are also very uneven, you need to watch were you are walking the whole time.
I heard from the locals that they get water every third day for a few hours a day. Of course they are also getting load shedding. Do therefore make sure you stay in a place with backup water and power.
The town is just generally looking very run down.

The place was not well organised.
The place was not well organised. The toilet did not have carpet and air freshener. It was a room for 3 people sharing but they put toiletries for one. Bed rooms didn’t have small carpet the floor is extremely cold. There was coffee and tea ingredients but no kettle to boil water. We were told to organise dinner before 3 to avoid disappointment. But to our surprise we placed an order by 10:30 only to get a call from them to say the chef had an emergency around 5:30. They only had 1 chef that’s my question?
The hosts had incredibly beautiful souls and were very kind. The rooms were stunningly beautiful and clean, each accompanied by a thoughtful booklet crafted by the hosts, providing valuable insights into Grahamstown. The place exudes tranquility, especially the pool area, where the host generously offered us fruit as we enjoyed their captivating estate. The Wi-Fi is exceptional, paired with DSTV in every room—words fall short; booking with them is a decision you won't regret.
Martin and his team were absolutely incredible. From personalised meals to great conversations at the bar or front of the braai. Rooms were spacious and clean. The lodge was private enough to feel that we were in nature, but the location was conveniently close enough to Grahamstown to visit family whenever we wanted to.
The location: An amazing view, far enough from Grahamstown for peace and tranquility but close enough for comfort.
The accommodation: Stunning little cottage with all the amenities that you need. Solar powered which meant no loadshedding!
Overall: A little gem in the mountains that is worth every cent paid.
Excellent location, staff was extremely helpful. While there are challenges in Makhanda city with water and electricity, the hotel had good backup plans. Breakfast by a warm fire each morning was a special treat. And the building has historical significance: this was the home of Piet Retief.
The house was homey and tidy, and we enjoyed our stay. The complementary coffee and rusks were also nice, and the gowns kept us warm as it was chilly in Grahamstown on those particular evenings. The guest house has borehole water, it is close to the Rhodes University campus and town.
Location - easy to get find and nicely situated just outside of Grahamstown.
Beds - so comfortable!
Everything you need for a weekend getaway. Clean, coffees & teas with little milk provided. Quiet, nice to get in touch with nature again.
We were in the Pavillion Room - #7. And it was just exquisite!! The MOST beautiful accommodation in Grahamstown, I'm certain! So luxurious! Epic bed! The expansive and perfectly manicured garden, proved to be perfect for my little girl!
Self-catering only. But everything you could possibly need to self-cater was available, and basics like salt, pepper, tea, milk, coffee (with a proper plunger), etc., all supplied complementarily. Attractively and pleasantly furnished.
The host provides various cereal options. The property is in a very safe, quiet, and beautiful estate. Water was always available and the aircon, heater, and electric blanket came in handy during the very cold Grahamstown nights.
Cosy, comfortable and clean. Lovely spacious place, the pictures do not do it justice. Nicola is an attentive and gracious host who tends promptly to her guests needs. This will be my go to place whenever I visit Grahamstown.
The property is close to Grahamstown yet far enough away to be out in the country. Easy access and shady parking. It was also nice to be able to walk in the reserve and a bonus to see giraffe, Nyala, zebra and impala.
Bed and pillows very comfortable. Amazing breakfast ordered off a menu. Linda very helpful with anything that you need. The self catering kitchen area has everything you need. Enough plug points.
Very friendly, helpful staff (Gogo was great!), lovely accommodation, very good location for exploring Grahamstown and local area. Excellent breakfast, comfortable room.
Great establishment. Good value with all you need.
Great host and the location is very central to Grahamstown.
Good parking facility and accommodation is private.
