Traveller reviews

“Very fulfilling!”
21 Jul 2025
The place is very nice and clean, the host Marriette is very friendly and welcoming, she offered me anything i needed, ensured that i am warm for my entire stay. The place was a home a way from home. I will definately be going back there soon!

“Very good”
03 Jul 2025
I liked the view it had from the back door and the river flowing close by. I liked the staff, especially Mariette, and the activities that were in the area. The house was very clean and neat. We had a great stay and will definitely be coming back in the future!

“After our initial apprehension while trying to find our way there, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

We battled to find the Backpackers, although my husband had not read the instructions sent to him! We eventually found a road leading to the the outskirts of the township and the house but it was very definitely a 4x4 track! The way we exited according to the instructions given to us by our hostess, took us through the township - busy with many pedestrians and school children making their way to school, but certainly a better gravel road. The house was extremely clean , comfortably furnished, had the most comfortable double bed, a lovely quirky bathroom and fulfilled all our requirements. I was extremely grateful to be able to use the washing machine after several days of rough camping! Our hostess was very helpful and friendly and we enjoyed our interaction with her.

“Superb”

Great location on the panorama route, perfect stop on the way from Johannesburg to Kruger, literally across the street to Bourkes Potholes. The place was basic but cosy, super clean. Host was super helpful and kind.
