    The UPS backup was a blessing when the power was off. Maybe a gas cooker would be considered for heating water when there is no power.

    Fantastic place for a great price. Only slight annoyance was there was a coffee plunger provided but only instant coffee. Coffee grounds would have been appreciated!

We are back at A Stone's Throw after huge rebuild and renovations after the run-away fire that caused so much loss to us in July 2014 but we are thrilled that everything is back in operation with a few lovely new additions for the added comfort and enjoyment of our guests but we do still offer one of the best possible views over Grahamstown and our country garden setting is still just a 5 minute drive into the CBD of Grahamstown and the local attractions, we look forward to meeting visitors from far and wide and wish you a safe journey. Please note we do not offer meals on premises but will make recommendations for the lovely breakfast and coffee venues, restaurants and Bistros on request.
Andre and Suzanne Wille have owned A Stone's Throw for 17 years, they have two children and 3 awesome dogs,Boss, Tuli and Jasmine. We look forward to welcoming our guests and hearing about all the wonderful places they have been.
