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.

Convenient location – easy walk to downtown and the university, but in a quiet and beautiful area away from heavy traffic and city noise. All the staff were friendly, gracious, and efficient and went above and beyond to help. The room was cleaned exceedingly well every day and all necessary provisions (plus a few extras) were refreshed daily. The apples were delicious. There were surprisingly many pillows. Even my fairly small room had cooking facilities and a refrigerator, all of which helped me a lot.

Great value for money. Very clean and comfortable-it was cold during the night so really enjoyed the electric blanket and the hot showers. A lovely pool too, literally two steps from our front door!

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.
