So I was going to Grahamstown to do some work for a few days and I needed somewhere to stay. I contacted the Grahamstown Hospitality network and Rodger Kaiser responded, and provided me with accommodation. I have fairly specific needs, a I travel with a lot of expensive TV equipment and it needs to be loaded/unloaded unless I have accommodation which allows the vehicle to in close proximity to the room. Well, I arrived and was given a passcode to the electronic gates and exactly as promised, I had a parking space right next to my room. The last time I stayed in Grahamstown, the space I stayed in was small and pokey, however this space was very generous. I was told that it was a self catering affair, with some basic equipment, and this was in evidence.

Read moreVery good set-up: clean, comfortable bedding, practical set-up with parking inside the property. A very helpful and friendly owner, who made effort to ensure that my stay was comfortable, and accommodated needs as they arose.

The wifi was free, but having some problems which the owner said he intended to have it...
