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.

The communication with the hosts was a bit slow, it’s low season so no one was at the property when we arrived to enquire, but a few hours later we heard back and were shown around.

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.

Debbie was extremely compassionate and supported me to much with my husband in ICU in Plett. She brought me coffee when I came back from hospital in the evening and sat by me to encourage me. So much appreciated! She is an ANGEL!

The bathrooms on the bottom floor and I upstairs... And to share a bathroom with other people. I didn't use the bathroom at all

For this price, it was okay to stay in this hostel. I had the luck to get the room with a private balcony, where I enjoyed my breakfast. The host was very kind, no problem to leave my luggage and they even prepared my room for an early check-in. Also they were so kind to make an appointment at the doctor for me and took me there. Thx again Debbie.

Convenience and value for money.

Too close to the taxi rank. One feels a little insecure with regards to safety arriving late and then having to get out the vehicle to open the remote gate. However our stay was incident free.

Excellent hosting by Debbie. She was very friendly and helpful with any questions and issues we had. Great location, secure parking, decent WiFi, clean room, excellent value.

You had to learn the knack to get hot water in the shower, but we got there most of the time.

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!
