High Corner Guest House

High Corner Guest House is a historic accommodation property on High Street in Makhanda, offering an elegant, homely base for university visits, business trips, cultural outings and longer stays. The property combines the character of an established main house with the privacy of separate cottages, creating a range of options for different types of travellers.

The main house has six en-suite rooms, while three cottages each contain two bedrooms. Accommodation is available on a bed-and-breakfast or self-catering basis. The cottages provide a useful choice for guests who need more space or separate sleeping areas, while the main-house rooms suit shorter stays and individual travellers. Daily housekeeping is provided, and laundry facilities are available.

Breakfast is a full English breakfast arranged through the property. Lunch and dinner packs are also available by arrangement, giving guests a straightforward option for meals during busy days in town. Free WiFi is available on request, and secure on-site parking adds practical convenience for travellers arriving by car.

Behind the property’s old stone walls, a garden and covered patio provide a quiet outdoor setting away from High Street. The swimming pool is available during the summer months, offering a seasonal way to cool off. The outdoor areas also provide space for relaxing between visits to Makhanda’s museums, restaurants, cafés and cultural venues.

High Corner Guest House stands directly opposite the Drostdy Arch entrance to Rhodes University. Its central position places the property within walking distance of the university, the business centre, the High Court and several places to eat. The National English Literary Museum and Albany Museum are among the nearby cultural attractions, while the town’s annual arts and science events bring additional interest at selected times of year.

Small conferences and catered private functions can be hosted on the property. With its combination of en-suite accommodation, self-catering cottages, work-friendly facilities, garden space and central setting, High Corner Guest House suits visitors looking for a calm base in the Eastern Cape with easy access to Makhanda’s educational, civic and cultural life.
