Our Christmas Inn

No livestock or manger to be seen, but we came less than an hour after a last minute booking and were welcomed graciously, despite arriving near midnight on Christmas Eve. Beautiful little flat, well maintained and clean, gated parking and a lovely hostess. Stocked well with a continental breakfast, which we enjoyed at midnight and again in the morning... we’d not found any shops or restaurants for dinner due to the holiday.

Perfect sanctuary after allday driving.

The place is clean. The owner added a personal touch and was friendly and helpful. It is secure and quiet. The price is affordable and booking was quick and easy. I will use it everytime I am in town and will recommend it to anyone travelling to Grahamstown.. It is near the university and the town centre.
