28 Stoneshill Guesthouse is a peaceful, farm-style place to stay with pets approximately 7 km outside of Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown) in the Eastern Cape. This getaway is on the R67 road to Port Alfred and combines the peace of the countryside with convenient access to town. The guesthouse was built as a tranquil place for tourists to stay.
