Convenient and peaceful
Beautiful surroundings - peaceful - up in the hills - unbelievable view!! Out of town but yet close enough. Suzanne from the guesthouse is very accommodating and she made our stay very pleasant - she had lots of advice and is quite knowledgeable about the area. My daughter is 1st year at Rhodes. Suzanne had input on how to get registered early, opening accounts, doctors etc. The only thing that was a bit uncomfortable was the open plan shower - it is however ideal for a young couple.

10 minutes from Grahamstown
Worst hotel of our trip, Chalet type room was very cold with inefficient wall plate heaters in the room. The entry/exit gate kapt sticking or did not work properly. Grahamstown has nowhere to eat out on sunday, only tateaway restaurants and is best avoided at night anyway.

Perfect for our needs
We had a great stay at A Stone's Throw. We were given a bigger cottage to make sure we were more comfortable, Suzanne is a warm and friendly hostess and very capable. Lovely view and everything we needed. We will definately return.

friendly hosts, basic interior and for 4 people definitely too small as the bathroom was tiny and so was the cupboard space. no cooking facility accept microwave. the view must be stunning, but unfortunately it was quite foggy when we were there. nice place for young families.
