This is not only a Guest house for the executive, visiting lecturer, judge, or tourist, but also for parents visiting their children. Furthermore it is a place for the getting together of friends and family and for those exploring and passing through the City of Saints. St. Aidan's is owned by Robyn James who has done extensive renovations to the building. It has been restored most magnificently and is a little piece of history well worth visiting. A water well was discovered under the house and as a result St. Aidan's have their own source of water and are not entirely dependent on municipal water!. While many of the original features have been preserved, the emphasis is on cosiness and comfort. The rooms are air conditioned and have underfloor heating for year round comfort. A wireless internet connection and satellite television will keep you in touch. Secure off street parking, a splash pool, a laundry service, honesty bar and a well stocked library are available to all guests. The sumptuous full English breakfast is served daily and the full time staff will cater to your every need. Thereafter the well equipped kitchen offers self catering facilities for the rest of the day. The beautiful and indigenous garden offers numerous areas for relaxing in peaceful surroundings. There are also braai facilities for those who enjoy outside entertaining. The St Aidans Suite & Elizabeth House are 2 delightful self contained cottages, each with lounge, dining room, kitchen, small garden and secure parking. Both can booked on a B&B or self-catering basis. St. Aidan's is centrally located with easy access to all the schools, the University and the Judiciary. Provision can be made for children sleeping over and dinner can be provided on request.

Grahamstown is known by many descriptive names, such as the 'Settler's City' in memory of the huge part it played when it was still a frontier town. Also the 'City of Saints' on account of the number of churches, the 'City of Schools' as it is renowned for its many excellent schools and of course its University, and then also the 'Sleepy Hollow'. The latter, apparently because it lies in a warm hollow in the hills, but perhaps more aptly when the schools and University are on vacation and the world famous Winter Arts Festival is not in full swing. Grahamstown has a rich history and therefore many historical attractions can be visited. Grahamstown is host to a number of festivals each year, the most famous and most successful being the National Arts Festival during June/July. Other festivals include the School's Festival and the Science Festival during March/April. Take time to walk through this historic centre and visit the Observatory Museum which houses one of only two Victorian Cameras Obscura in the world - the other is in Bath, England - with a magical mirror that reflects the town onto a large circular table. With Grahamstown at its centre, Frontier Country includes Adelaide, Alicedale, Alice, Bedford, Fort Beaufort, Hogsback, Peddie, Riebeeck East, Salem, Seven Fountains and Sidbury. Frontier Country is one of the most diverse ecological regions in South Africa, with a variety of biomes that provide unspoilt and spectacular scenery. Thousands of hectares are devoted to nature and game conservation, bringing with them the return of great herds of wildlife to the places where they once roamed freely. This malaria-free region is fast gaining local and international popularity for excellent game-viewing with a variety of private reserves which include the Big Five.
