We love providing a quality product and seeing our guests enjoy their stay.
St Aidans Avenue in Grahamstown is a quiet leafy street with great views up to the Monument and mountains in the background. It's close to all the schools as well as Rhodes University, the Law Courts and the main shops, but out of the rush of traffic and noise. The town has a lot of history to explore with loverly coffee shops, art galleries and museums.
