Lindrish B&B - Where the Heart of Makhanda Lives
Wednesday, 11th June 2025
A Festival of Culture, A Celebration of Community
Each year, the National Arts Festival transforms Makhanda into a living canvas — and for [First name], it also transforms her business. “It’s more than just accommodation during festival season,” she says. “It’s a chance to share in something bigger — to meet people, exchange stories, learn from seasoned hosts, and immerse myself in the vibrant pulse of the town.”
From handcrafted beadwork to the rhythmic stomp of traditional dancers, her guests often find themselves swept into the cultural magic that fills the streets. “I’ve hosted people from all over the world,” she says. “And what’s most special is how they leave not just rested but deeply touched.”
What Makes a Stay Memorable? A Host Who Cares
At Lindrish’s B&B, comfort is a given — but heart is what lingers.
[First name], ensures every guest feels seen, safe, and at ease. Her attention to detail is thoughtful:
- Clean, inviting rooms with ensuite bathrooms
- Back-up options for electricity and water
- Secure parking
- Local insights, stories, and guidance
- Most of all — her signature hospitality that feels like coming home
“Guests want more than a bed. They want to feel part of the place. I show them the soul of Makhanda — its people, its stories, its heartbeat.”
Tourism, Together
Behind her success is a quiet but crucial partnership: Makana Tourism. Through their marketing and support, Mrs. Ngamlana has hosted church groups, professionals, corporate teams, festival lovers, and even government officials. “They’ve helped me reach people I never could have on my own,” she reflects. Still, there’s more she dreams of and that’s funding support to help her access better signage, marketing materials, and grading that helps visitors trust the quality of her homestay at first glance.
If you’re coming to Makhanda — whether for the Festival, the history, or the people — come to Lindrish’s. Stay where stories live, and where strangers arrive as guests but leave as family.
