The Grand Residence

Steeped in the history of Rhodes University, whose students and staff have enjoyed its hospitality for over 160 years, now offers accommodation for discerning students who want more from their years at university than just a degree.

The Grand Res was built in the earliest days of the frontier town that has become one of the major centres of learning in South Africa.  It is founded on warm hospitality and fine tradition.  Now it is a superlative residence for all  students who appreciate the wider significance of student life.

In the heart of the town, close to Rhodes and a host of amenities, The Grand Res offers both freedom and community in equal measure, according to the custom and true spirit of a university.
