This property is impressively very clean. Their beds and bedding are soft and of good quality…my team didn’t want to get out of bed 😂The staff including security personnel are incredibly friendly and very helpful. I liked the convenience in their rooms including plugs for all my gadgets, iron, ironing board, enough cupboard storage and a very practical full bathroom. I love the intimacy of the place, it’s very homely and it has just become my “go-to” place for all my trips to Mthatha. Thank you so much ✨

    The flat was very safe, peaceful, relaxing. The host was very accommodating I was delayed due to protest actions on my route and the host kept contacting me to see if I'm ok and safe. She even made arrangements so I can arrive late after the road was cleared by police. I highly recommend this place for a quiet getaway
