The Milner by The Oyster Collection, hotel in Grahamstown

Providing garden views, The Milner by The Oyster Collection in Grahamstown provides accommodation, water sports facilities, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a bar and barbecue facilities.

I liked everything. Best place to stay in GHT. excellent services. The ladies Linda and Monica are amazing, excellent customer care. Feel comfortable and safe stepping out and leaving my children in the room. Even have a study where i can have conference calls or my daughter can study from. The cleanliness is top notch. Lindas cooking tops it all but make sure you ask her in advance if you want dinner. Her salads are wonderful. I just cant complain. Actually I can ----you have to book early especially during the times surrounding schools have activities. Ballon weekend and K-Day they are already booked for the next 2 years.😩. I will not go anywhere else if they have room. Been staying there for the last 5 years. My second option would be their sister residence 8A.
