Testimonials

"The property is situated in a very convenient location - nestled away in a very quiet street. Comfy, safe, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for the duration of our stay (secure parking, kitchen utensils, fast & reliable wifi, full bathroom, plenty closet space) . Suzanne was the perfect host. We arrived late in the evening and the self-checkin experience was easy and quick! Thank you for making our visit to Makhanda so very special."

"30 on oatlands is located in the perfect area to experience the peace and quiet of the suburbs but is still close enough to explore the town and all it has to offer. The Owners made a huge effort to accommodate us during our stay and really made us feel welcome. The accommodations was cleaned during the day which added to the experience. I look forward to returning on our next holiday"
