It is close to many shops and Rhodes University. I really enjoyed my stay. The cottage I was stating at was comfortable and clean. All the cereals, milk and coffee offered made my stay bearable as I was attending classes at Rhodes. Tony was so helpful and kind. Thank you Tony!!

I was greeted with friendliness and care by Tony. I loved the cosy nature of the cottage, and that it was equipped with everything I could possibly need. Cleanliness is important to me, and the space was unbelievably clean. Also, it is cleaned on a daily basis by staff. The cottage is also situated near to the main town which made travel easy.

I had self catering. All the cutlery and crockery was excellent. My two dogs behaved themselves and that helped a lot. The property was big with a swimming pool. I went to stay there for safety, my rib was broken and I was traumatised. It felt like I was on a holiday. I will definitely stay there again. The staff was very polite.
I liked everything.

The space was perfect for a couple and, although we only stayed one night, it looked like a nice place for an extended stay. There was also enough available space in the main bedroom for a camp cot.

The location was perfect, proximity to everything was a plus. The lovely garden with the spotless swimming pool and mature trees providing shade were perfect for a very hot day. The luxury of a large bathroom and a roomy shower along with very comfortable beds will definitely bring us back to Applebee Guest Cottage.
I cannot think of anything that could have been better. We had everything we needed and it was all excellent.

Very spacious flat, very friendly host. Big garden with a pool. Fully equipped kitchen. The generator takes the sting off load shedding. Daily service.
If you're planning on doing your own cooking: the selection of pots/pans is rather limited, as is the space you have for preparing your food. Some might miss an oven. But for simple meals it is more than sufficient.

We stayed in the two bedroom cottage. It is exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. It has everything you need, with a big bathroom, very comfy beds and super quiet. Thanks so much. We would love to stay again:)

The room/apartment was spacious with a kitchenette and a third, single bed. Overall it was tranquil, well-maintained and homely. The bathroom was quite modern and clean.
Nothing really. The garden is mostly wild. But that's not necessarily bad.

AppleBee was perfect for my stay. Lovely location very close to the town centre and the Amazwi museum of literature, within easy walking distance. The place was spotless and the staff were lovely. And it was a delight to meet the resident dogs and cat! Would absolutely stay here again.
