We had a lovely stay at Milner Manor. I was attending my graduation 3rd April 2024. The location was ideal. The staff was great we arrived a bit late than the scheduled time for check in, Natalie and Ziyanda made sure to welcome us with smiles. The beds are comfy, rooms are clean, and the breakfast was tasty and filling.

    Exceptionally clean and tidy with all necessary appliances - as well as a very useful gas stove and gas heater. The hosts are kind and communicative, but also give you a lot of space. Quiet neighborhood, conveniently located. The private entrance and parking space are great! Thoroughly recommended.

    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.
