Fodor's Expert Review 7 Worcester Street

7 Worcester St., Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, 6140, South Africa

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Built in 1888, this magnificent dressed-stone mansion has been meticulously restored and beautifully decorated with a mix of local, Thai, and Indonesian artifacts. Rooms are elegantly proportioned and have high ceilings and large bathrooms. There are also attractive garden rooms next to the swimming pool. Dinner is by arrangement. As befits an establishment of this nature, the service is friendly and discreet, and no request seems too much trouble for the staff. You can arrange cultural and historical tours and activities through the inn.
