Holiday rentals with a patio in Makhanda

The most perfect get away for peace, quiet and communing with nature. Will return as soon as we can

The farm is located about 23km from Makhanda but because of the poorly maintained roads it will take at least 30min to get into town. The dirt road from the tarred road to the accommodation is in a very poor condition. It does not appear to have been graded in a while. This makes the road very difficult for low clearance vehicles to negotiate. I would not recommend using the road if your vehicle does not have a high clearance. The place is cold and there are no heaters in the rooms. There however is a lovely fireplace in the living room. The wood though was wet and did not burn readily. We had to buy dry wood. It is very tranquil and isolated from the city. Great if you just want to get away. Recommended for a getaway. Bear in mind there isn't much else to do on the farm e.g., no hiking paths, etc. The WiFi is good but not available during load shedding.

We love everything about Lucy's cottage. So peaceful with breathtaking views. I highly recommend it.

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!

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.

Very sweet cottage with a lovely sun room and garden. Host is very responsive and friendly. Special touches such as fresh fruit, chocs on the pillows and hot water bottles for the cold winter nights. We will definitely stay here again :)

The house was a lovely cozy place that far exceeded our expectations. Everything was in working order, cleanliness was up to standard and the hosts were really great & available when needed. We had a wonderful family time in the space.
