Bartholomew's Loft isn’t just accommodation – it’s a standout experience that blends historic charm, practicality, and warm hospitality, making it my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting Grahamstown. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or for a cultural trip, this converted gem checks every box with style and ease.
Unbeatable Central Location with Historic Charm
Nestled in the heart of Grahamstown’s historic Artificer’s Square – the original 1820 settler artisan quarter – the property oozes character from its restored colonial architecture, wagon stones, and cobbled gutters. Its location is unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk to the city centre, 600m from the Cathedral in High Street, and 1km from Rhodes University, putting shops, restaurants, and landmarks within easy reach. Even better, the lively restaurant and bar scene is a short stroll away, while Sunshine Coast beaches are a manageable 37-mile drive for a day trip.
Spacious, Well-Equipped Accommodation for Every Group
The loft’s converted spaces are a highlight – once an old church, the property features double-volume living areas, exposed timber beams, and high ceilings that feel airy and welcoming. The self-catering units are incredibly spacious (the main loft sleeps up to 6 adults) with open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen areas perfect for groups. The fully equipped kitchens come with stoves, microwaves, fridges, and kettles, making meal prep a breeze. Beds are comfortable (some with electric blankets for chilly nights), and rooms include thoughtful touches like heaters, irons, and free toiletries. Private courtyards and garden access add to the peaceful vibe, while secure off-street parking gives peace of mind.
Warm Service & Thoughtful Amenities
The staff and hosts go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Check-in is seamless, and their friendliness and willingness to help – from offering local tips to accommodating last-minute stay extensions with discounted rates – truly stands out. The amenities are tailored to comfort: free Wi-Fi throughout, DStv for entertainment, daily housekeeping, and a lovely outdoor swimming pool to relax in. For those on the go, breakfast is available (with a “breakfast to go” option), and dinner can be arranged upon request. Laundry facilities and a 24-hour front desk add extra convenience.
Exceptional Value in a Unique Setting
What makes Bartholomew’s Loft truly special is its balance of uniqueness and value. You’re not just booking a room – you’re staying in a piece of Grahamstown’s history, with all the modern comforts you need. The property’s cleanliness (rated 8.9 by guests), comfort (8.6), and value for money (8.5) speak for themselves, making it affordable without compromising on quality. It’s equally suited for families, friend groups, or visitors attending events like the Standard Bank National Arts Festival.
For anyone visiting Grahamstown, Bartholomew’s Loft is a no-brainer. It combines historic charm, unbeatable location, spacious accommodation, and warm service – all at a great price. I’ve recommended it to friends and family and will always choose it for my return trips to this lovely city.

Un séjour agréable à Carslogie House, Port Elizabeth
Nous sommes arrivés tard à la nuit et nous sommes accueillis chaleureusement par le gentleman de la fonction, qui était ami et utile, nous donnant à nous sentir immédiatement à l'aise après une longue voiture. La chambre était spacieuse, propre et a une vue sur la piscine, créant une atmosphère très agréable et relaxante.
Le petit déjeuner est très bon, avec une grande variété d'options et un choix végétarien convivial pour moi.
La seule chose que nous avons connue était le petit déjeuner, où le personnel semblait plus concentré sur les plus grands groupes et nous regardait depuis un certain temps. Ce n'était pas un problème majeur, mais il s'est avéré que tout le reste était excellent.
La chambre est très confortable et confortable.

Intle boutique hotel is such a treat and hidden gem! Since arriving we only received the best service. There was a miscommunication with our initial booking but the wonderful staff sorted it very efficiently and even upgraded our room!
The hotel is situated between the rolling hills and the ocean can also be seen! The nature and surroundings are beautiful and really relaxing!
The room was spacious, beautifully decorated and had everything you may need. One suggestion would be to add some mats in the bathroom as the floor is very slippery after taking a shower.
And now for the food!!! Wow! The dinner options were a great variety and of top quality! We had the sirloin steak and it was divine! The breakfast was filling and really delicious!
We would definitely visit Intle again and stay for a longer period!
And to proof how much we relaxed and enjoyed our stay, I didn’t even take any pictures! Guess you need to go and experience it for yourself! 😉

Staying at River Front Estate was an absolute dream. The location is picture-perfect, and our room was beautifully designed, complete with a terrace overlooking the river. We enjoyed breathtaking sunsets and woke up to serene mornings with a coffee in hand, pure bliss. We were also lucky to have daily visits and cuddles from Duchess, the gorgeous Great Dane, and a 17-year-old cat we affectionately named Nala (lol). The owner, Lisa, made our stay even more special, she was incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and even came to our rescue when we realized we’d brought the wrong plug! Also want to add that all the ladies working there were SO LOVELY and kind! They are absolute angels.
The location is perfect for anyone visiting Addo National Elephant Park, just a short drive away. Plus, having a huge Spar around the corner made grabbing groceries easy and convenient.
This was a stay we will never forget. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

Lize007We had a slight mix-up with our booking before arrival, but the team quickly stepped in and offered us an upgrade. In hindsight, the new cabin didn’t quite have the deck or view we had originally booked, so it didn’t entirely feel like an upgrade—though we did really appreciate the inside shower, which turned out to be a nice bonus.
That said, the staff were absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The location is fantastic, and we loved the added charm of two little springboks roaming around the property! We also enjoyed a couple of great braais during our stay, and the massage before we left was the perfect way to end the trip.
All in all, we had a lovely and memorable experience, and we would definitely recommend it.

We have stayed here many time because it is a beautiful building in an excellent location. The general staff are outstanding and the food and rooms are amazing. Unfortunately the front desk is just not the same as the rest of the experience. When I wrote in to ask for an early check in I got no reply- on my arrival I asked about this and was told because I got no reply that means it’s fine. I find this odd as I explained that we were arriving after a three part flight over 18 hours. We have stayed here at least 3 other times and my comment for each time would be pretty much the same - I feel the front desk could do better to Mach their rest of the experience.

L'hôtel Premiere ICC est un excellent choix, avec une position parfaite et des vues incroyables qui augmentent vraiment l'expérience.
Les équipements manquants : nous devions demander des vêtements et des pantalons, qui devraient idéalement être fournis automatiquement.
Questions de chauffage : Le chauffage n'était pas fonctionnel ou nous ne pouvions pas savoir comment le fonctionner, ce qui a fait la salle à temps inconfortable.
Malgré ces problèmes, les forces de l'hôtel le font une option solide, et avec un peu d'attention aux détails, il pourrait être encore mieux.

Garden Avenue sans chauffeur, selon le positionnement de l'hôtel. L'emplacement est bon, descendez un peu au N2. Quand je suis arrivé à l'hôtel, j'ai découvert que l'hôtel était plus beau que sur les photos. J'ai réservé une chambre familiale, mais il s'est avéré qu'il y avait trois lits et un petit jardin avec la porte latérale ouverte. La chambre est très spacieuse. La décoration de l'hôtel est très rétro, et le petit déjeuner est généralement sous forme de buffet. Dans l'ensemble, le rapport qualité/prix est élevé. C'est aussi super de faire le tour. L'emplacement est bon. Je recommande vivement le restaurant à côté de l'hôtel, le jarret d'agneau est super délicieux !
