Excellent position close to schools. Beautiful rose gardens, comfortable room, lovely breakfast. Only problem was that individuals in the room next door came home at 3:00 in the morning and made such a noise that we could not sleep thereafter.

Cornerstone Manor is a beautiful homestead set in the heart of Grahamstown's Westhill. Built in the late 1800's, this stone house oozes charm and character. The guest rooms have been completely rebuilt on the site which was the original carriage house. Perched on a terrace above the main house, the guest rooms enjoy views over St Aidan's fields, as well as the hills surrpounding Grahamstown. The rose garden lies directly off the guest rooms, offering a beautiful vista from the bedrooms.
