Affordable and comfortable, right in the heart of Plettenberg. Our highlight though was Debbie, she is the sweetest host and gave us so many good tips on where to go and eat. Would definitely recommend!

The staff was amazing. My bus was very late because of trouble with the bus journey and the lady waited a long time for me to get me safe and good to the lodge. And the backpackers was lovely. I will be back!

Everything was ok for the price. But the real kicker was the lady in charge, Debbie. She went above and beyond consistently to give me the best possible experience in Plettenberg Bay. There were some misunderstandings with management about the room pricing, which she handled admirably. Also, she gave me a lift when I really needed one, asking for nothing in return.

Nice old style backpackers, although it’s more of a guest house I suppose. Nice lounge area with fire and plenty of wood to burn. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and it’s got great security in a nice quiet location yet walking distance to the Main Street.
