"Alhoewel die infrastrutuur en paaie werk nodig het en die water tekort moeilik is, was ons verras met die mooi universiteitsgeboue en fasaliteite, asook die fantastiese restaurante waar ons geëet het - Fork & Dagger en die burgers by Major Fraser was uit die boonste rakke."
"Really a lovely town. The only bad thing I can find is definitely the roads. The worst I have ever seen."
"Ek sal die opskrif eerder noem Grahamstad (Makhanda). Die plek is mooi en histories. Die paaie is vol potholes en baie sleg om deur te ry."
"Pragtige dorpie met vriendelike mense, maar ongelukkig deur die munisipaliteit/regering gefaal. Daar was wel munisipale werkers wat van die vele slaggate reggemaak het tydens ons besoek."
"Dit is heerlik tydens die kunstefees. Die slaggate is egter 'n groot probleem."
"No good coffee place, couldn't find any except for Pick n Pay and Spar whose coffee was so bad."
"There is no water supply in the township. Toilets are not able to flush, very unhygienic!"
"Ongelooflike mooi historiese ou geboue en geskiedenis. Ongelukkig is daar dele wat vervalle is. Indien die munisipaliteit moeite doen met die onderhoud van paaie in die dorp self en opknapping van geboue en verskaffing van water en elektrisiteit sal hierdie dorp 'n aanwins vir die toeristebedryf wees."
"The main street of Makhanda has become shabby. Fortunately Sweet Waters Lodge is in a beautiful, out of town location, on the way to Bathurst."
"They need to clean the sidewalks and fix the potholes! Also, donkey poo should be removed, as this is everywhere!"
"Town is very run-down with potholes, donkeys in the main road. Sad for a once beautiful little town."
"Beautiful old buildings and we can imagine it is fun and happening when the students are back in the town."
"Pragtige dorp met die mooiste kerke en historiese geboue. Enigste opmerking waaraan gewerk kan word is die paaie, die slaggate is vreeslik!"
"Depending on the purpose of your travel, it was suitable for the reasons we were in the area."
"The potholes and surrounding roads are a nightmare, especially when it rains. The general layout of the town is a bit confusing and some of the streets are really dirty and unkempt. The town has a lot of potential, but a lot of work needs to be done."
"Makhanda is my home town, it is always good however the roads are terrible and always water problems no faults of the owners. I do think that it will hinder people to visit."
"The town infrastructure is not being maintained (potholes, missing roadsigns, rubbish not collected in some areas). Private property, on the other hand, seems to be old but well maintained. Very historical with wonderful architecture. It's a pity it is being neglected by the authorities."
"Makhanda needs the municipal council to assist businesses by providing basic services. e.g. fixing potholes."
"Fun to be in Makhanda during the National Arts Festival, lots to see and do. Also visited Bathurst, and the coastal settlements of Port Alfred and Kenton on Sea which are not too far away."
"Best place to re-charge. You can even take your family as there are a lot of things to do around. You can run, hike, swim, braai and all ... they even have a bar place with chairs and all to chill. There is everything! "
