28 Stoneshill B&B

Makhanda attracts visitors for Rhodes University, for its heritage character, and increasingly, people passing through the Eastern Cape—academics, researchers, travellers on the N2 corridor. The B&B sector here depends on those travellers having genuine reason to stop. 28 Stoneshill serves that community of guests: people spending a weekend, families visiting university students, road trippers choosing to explore the town rather than rush through. The relationship is cyclical—when a town's guest houses fill with genuine visitors and those visitors eat locally and return, they strengthen the entire small-city economy. That matters for restaurants, for local services, for the vibrancy of a place. A well-run B&B isn't just a room for rent; it's part of the infrastructure that makes a smaller city sustainable.
