Grahamstown, South Africa

About St Aidan's Guest Cottage

8A Grahamstown is conveniently located near the city centre, yet removed from the sound of the streets, and offers guests the ideal space to unwind after a day of sightseeing or business, with every wish attended to by our friendly and professional staff. Brilliant for visiting the kids at Rhodes or to use as a quieter base for the Grahamstown National Arts Festival. Also close to Kenton-on-Sea and just two hours' drive from the Garden Route, 8A Grahamstown is the perfect base for the Frontier Country and its history. 135km from Port Elizabeth Airport and 165km from East London Airport and within an hours' drive of a variety of the major Eastern Cape game and safari reserves.

Read a book or catch up on the latest shows on DStv in one of our beautiful lounges. Have a refreshing swim on a hot day, or just relax next to the pool. Help yourself to our free WiFi. Take in the lovely view over Grahamstown from our outdoor terrace or curl up next to the fireplace in the main lounge on a chilly evening as you sample some of South Africa's finest wines from our fully stocked honesty bar. Or simply escape entirely to your own room, which offers all the hallmarks of luxury you'd expect.
