Vacation rentals with a pool in Makhanda

Very spacious house, loved the large kitchen, very comfortable. Huge lovely garden. It was like home away from home.

I had such a lovely stay at this beautiful home in Grahamstown. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely comfortable—the space is not only well-kept, but has a truly homely and welcoming feel. It’s beautifully decorated, clean, and thoughtfully set up with everything you might need. The hosts were absolutely wonderful—friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience so easy. Their hospitality really stood out and added a special touch to the stay. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Grahamstown, and I’d definitely love to stay here again!

from the very start Jo wasincredible and amazingly helpful. We were travelling with our small toddler and Jo helped our stay be as easy as possible. Great chalet, beautiful surroundings and great communal pool area. and a special mention to their chef...absolutely amazing food and presentation, you can see her love of cooking for over 20 years. The only thing I would mention is that the AC is made available especially in the summer as it was quite warm in the chalet. other that that, would 100% recommend for those looking to escape and have a great social time too with those staying g around you.

Ann, Rick and Sam are very welcoming and approachable. I consider myself lucky and decided stay a while longer. Would highly recommend this place if looking to enjoy a quiet green place that is just distant enough from the (small) centre of Grahamstown to escape its hustle and bustle, yet close enough to have all you will need within 5 minutes of driving.

The house is very spacious and has beautiful views. The two fireplaces ensured it was lovely and warm. We enjoyed good hikes in the nearby hills. Anne and Stuart were very helpful at all times. The only downside is the dirt road has some terrible potholes and has to be driven carefully.

Great farm house experience just 30 minutes outside of Grahamstown. The hot tub and the swimming pool made the place! Upon arrival - we were super surprised to be greeted by two friendly women - Nomfusi and Bongi - who had a fire started and served us with warm Roosterbread. Was such a lovely touch! And we didn't realize it but they basically 'came with the place' so they cleaned up after us at meals the entire weekend. Which was awesome (obviously we tipped them and thanked them a lot) things to do : we spent the most time in the pool and hot tub, playing in the garden and generally making food and lounging around. If you willing you can take the 15 minute drive on the bumpy gravel road and get to a great little river spot - with kayaks that you can use. We chilled there for the morning and it was great (although we nearly got stuck in the mud- we persevered and drove through!). Chloe was awesome - very responsive and always quick to reply Great stay!

The host was very friendly and communicated timeously. The place was just as in the pictures, very neat and tidy. It was also easy to find, safe and secure. Comfortable too. Worth the price.

Overall, my family and i had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this beautiful house to anyone visiting Grahamstown.

Dan was a lovely host. He communicated effectively before we got to the cottage and kept checking on us. It was definitely a lovely stay and would recommend the place to anyone.
