7 Worcester Street & Spirits of the Past, Grahamstown

Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Set against the historic backdrop of Grahamstown, No. 7 Worcester Street is luxurious living in every way. Offering ten individually styled suites with indulgent bathrooms, No. 7’s highly motivated staff is committed to ensuring that every detail is considered with care, and organised to perfection. This university town, once the British garrison and centre of British Settlers in Southern Africa, has magnificent historical buildings, fine antique shopping, frequent cultural events and festivals, wonderful walking, and is a renowned centre of learning. In a quiet, oak-lined street, this magnificently restored manor house reflects inspired simplicity and impeccable style.

Combined with a visit to one of the Eastern Cape’s malaria-free game reserves, this is an experience not to be missed.

"Spirits of the Past" – the story that must be told…

‘During the 1800’s the intrepid British Settlers, Irish immigrants and European explorers, left their shores to begin a new life on the most southern region of the African continent – territory of the spiritual San and mighty AmaXhosa. What awaited them in this region of wide horizons eclipsed their wildest imaginings…’

Resident historian and raconteur Alan Weyer’s captivating narrative of spectacular battles and courageous people, offers a rare and unique insight into their lives, and the profound influence of this region’s proud history and its far reaching consequences.

Combined with a visit to one of the Eastern Cape’s malaria-free game reserves, this is an experience not to be missed.
