A Stone’s Throw B & B

A Stone’s Throw B&B in Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown) is a unique place to stay in the Eastern Cape that combines city and rural life. We are a family-run business that offers friendly hospitality and two different settings: a peaceful mountaintop retreat or a pleasant suburban getaway.

Choices for Where to Stay

Our B&B has a variety of well-designed rooms that are comfortable and link you to the natural world.
