    Very neat with a lot of attention to detail. There were enough blankets and a well-equipped kitchen. The coffee and tea, rusks and milk in the fridge was a bonus upon arrival. ♥️ The accommodation was in a quiet area but within minutes' reach of...

Situated in a gated estate with majestic views of Grahamstown. A large modern studio with its own entrance. We have water tanks and electrical supply backup, so you will not have water outages nor power outages. The unit is connected to the internet with fibre. The smart TV has Netflix, DSTV, Britbox, Youtube etc. The unit is serviced on a Monday to Fridays at 10am during your stay, weekends it is not serviced.
The studio is situated in a private residential estate - you can safely walk around the estate. Grahamstown on the whole is a safe little city, so for the joggers who like hills, it is safe to jog outside the estate. Not everyday that you get to jog past donkeys and cows! :)
