Country Cousins was completed as a family home in March 2006, but we decided not to move in, but to establish a unique Self-catering accommodation establishment as a business for ourselves. We both have an interest in the hospitality industry and have travelled extensively. Those experiences and the expertise that we have from our other chosen careers, that of Travel Agent and Estate Agent are to benefit of the establishment of this guest house.
With its the exquisite face brick design coupled with its wooden floors, high pitched roof and quaint dormer windows led us to establish this as a wonderful “Guest House” for visitors to our lovely city. We decided to start on a smaller scale with “self-catering” accommodation and filled a new market in Grahamstown, the first stand-alone house available for rental on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. We are happy to serve breakfast should this be required, from a full buffet to a simple Continental breakfast.
The house has three bedrooms, but the main bedroom must surely be the best available in Grahamstown based on its stylish design, its huge size with its full en-suite bathroom, private terrace with a marvellous view looking over Rhodes University and the Settler Monument in the distance.
Two other smaller but well appointed bedrooms make the house especially appealing to parents from our educational institutions visiting their children and having them stay over in a private home-from-home environment.
The house has two lounges, the one downstairs is more formal - a ‘reading lounge’ with an array of the latest magazines and books on offer and the other one, upstairs, a comfortable TV lounge, closed off on the inner side with a simple banister where you can peer down to the well designed and fitted kitchen.
The unique style dining room has double doors leading out onto the beautiful patio with its magnificent view.
The bathroom downstairs has a bath with a glass enclosure where you can close off the whole bath and be completely private! Both bathrooms have showers.
Then to entertain, the house comes with a games room with chess set and table unit and a full pool table for hours of fun. A DSTV system is in place, for those persons who would like to just bring their own smart card! A Braai is supplied for those seeking to have a quiet braai at their home-from-home.
The house has a large garden where birdlife is encouraged to visit and peace and tranquility is assured.
Our rates are extremely favourable as the whole house can be hired for more or less the same price as a room in another establishment hence our slogan “ Why rent a room when you can rent a house”
