Fab-u-lous
Zalonda was amazing and couldn't do enough for us. We had a lovely little patio area which was great to sit out it and we had everything we needed, including a small dining table so we could eat our meal in comfort.

Misleading picture on Expedia
I am disabled and need two sticks to walk. The picture implied the cottage was on a level with the parking area. Not so. I had to negotiate three changes of level, unstable gravel paths and one very high step down onto sloping gravel. Fortunately there was a maid on duty, as my wife and I would not have been able to get our luggage to the room. Please amend the site description to make it clear this place is not appropriate for anyone other than young and fit!

NICE STAY
Our stay was so amazing and the lady by the name of Susanne who is managing the place was very nice and polite. If we have to book again at Grahamstown, it will definately be at Oatlands.
