The place is laid back, cows on the road, uber not operational but it is possible to walk everywhere. There is urban houses and sort of rural infrastructure. It can be too hot, save to bring a sun hat. I had planned my trip, was kept sufficiently busy and I visited two families. will definitely do the trip again and will recommend to anyone who is adventures at heart.

We found Makhanda has just about all we need... shopping mall, ate at Spurs twice then wanting something a lil more spicy found the Thai/Chinese takeaway. It's not too busy, not too built up therefore pollution levels seemed low. The history of local people exposed. Rhodes university is a beautiful landmark for all to see.

“I visited a town in South Africa called Grahamstown, also known as Makhanda. It is a beautiful place. At first, it looks small, but it has very good schools and University there . It is also easy to get around, and the security there is very good. People can walk freely and enjoy the town.”

The historical aspects were fascinating, especially the old Churches and cathedrals. These are largely untouched from the general significant decline in basic services. We were only there for a sporting event. Not sure it is a place we would consider a holiday destination.

Grahamstown has amazing old buildings and history. BUT the roads are a disaster !! Giant potholes everywhere and some of the roads you have to actually look for the tar that is left. The municipality should be ashamed. African road between 3 biggest private schools is abysmal

It is a town where one can shop around. The roads are so shocking, there are potholes everywhere and they are bad. I was so worried about my tyres. That is the only reason that would make me not to visit Grahamstown, roads are very bad.

Quiet place, comfortable bed and room, microwave and fridge per room, option to do laundry. The location is a healthy 20 to 25 minutes walk away from the city centre. But that also means no traffic around and the freshest air, with nice views. And Makhanda/Grahamstown has (cheap) Uber, and the two Uber drivers of the town (two brothers) by now know the place.

The great plus for Grahamstown was that Wedmore Place had loadshedding-free electricity and municipality-independent water supply. The space in wonderful and comfy appointed. The fact that the host offered us the larger unit, as it was available for 3 of our 4 nights. A fully functioning kitchen, well equipped. Easy access to drive to.
