8A Grahamstown s large and spacious, with peaceful views in a quiet street. Linda and her team focus on attention to detail and and caring service. The decor is modern and luxuriously comfortable with all the amenities. Our honesty bar is well stocked and very popular with guests, along with a comfortable relaxed function room that seats up to 12 with its own kitchen facilities.
8A Grahamstown is part of our Oyster Collection group of self catering and boutique guest houses. The Collection has grown over 10 years from its first establishment in Kenton-on-Sea in 2007 always focussing on quality of accommodation and attention to detail and service. We love providing a quality product and seeing our guests enjoy their stay.
St Aidans Avenue in Grahamstown is a quiet leafy street with great views up to the Monument and mountains in the background. It's close to all the schools as well as Rhodes University, the Law Courts and the main shops, but out of the rush of traffic and noise. The town has a lot of history to explore with loverly coffee shops, art galleries and museums.
