“Superb”
12 Apr 2025
What a great find. Lovely atmosphere. Very tasty food. Amazing staff. You won't find better value in South Africa. Sitting round the fire or listening to local live music in the bar, in a totally relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by great people.

“Lovely lodge to discover the Wilderness area”
18 Feb 2025
Lovely place to spend a night or two when visiting the Wilderness area. The room we were staying in was great with a traditional roof we've seen only on higher end lodges, and the breakfast was as fresh as it gets!

“Great vibe with some very friendly people”
17 Feb 2025
Everyone working there was very friendly, easy to meet people and every night is a fun night. It's also walkable to the main hiking trails. I also thought that I left my passport there, and everyone put in their efforts to find it. My passport ended up being found somewhere else, and I really appreciated the help.

Really friendly and helpful staff! We also loved how they provided things like pancakes and fruit in the morning, bread in the evening and lit the bonfire, it made the place so warm and cozy!

“Right in the middle of nature. Super close to the Half Collared Kingfisher Trail. Close to town also”

Excellent backpackers in the woods. Huge space outside in nature, many accommodation options to choose from, great staff, and gorgeous surroundings! They also have some band nights, which is cool, and a market on Sundays with cool stuff to buy!

“Nice and chilled. Good location. Facilities could use a bit of TLC.”

Quaint set up. Very chilled under the trees. Staff was helpful with hiking tips. Bungalows are lovely.

“Wonderful Wilderness”
02 Jan 2025
Staff were super friendly and always willing to assist. Great location. Great atmosphere. We loved the on-site tent + bed, which included ports for cables. Outer zip on tent was broken, as mentioned by staff upon arrival, but they were helpful and provided us with everything we needed.

“Nice Backpackers Lodge with good atmosphere and wonderful location”
21 Dec 2024
Wonderful location right in nature. Walking distance from national reserve. Good vibe with communal dinner option and bar to meet other travellers. The area where you sleep is in buildings further to the back and quiet. Large space to park cars.
