We stayed one night in Oudtshoorn and that was plenty. The town has nothing going for it, aside from a break in the drive to/from Cape Town. On a Friday night in the middle of the tourist season (late December) there was almost nothing open in town after 5:00PM. I'd say pass on the town if you can. Backpackers' Paradise... More

The rooms were nice, the food was perfect although you pay R25 for a simple breakfast (R40 for warm) which is quit expensive as you look at what you get. Its a beautifull location and great fun with their own bar and nice people! Definitely going again!

Nice backpackers with large and comfy (bunk) beds! Because the backpackers kind of is stretched out and has several living spaces, everybody seems to do his own thing in stead of catching up with following travelers in one common room. Overall: good place to stay but because of the high quality of the other backpackers, not the best.

This place is very central and easy to find with many restaurants in walking distance. The rooms, although simple, are clean and well looked after as well as the bathrooms. The staff are extremely helpful and the owners are very accommodating. Their small bar is a great hang out to meet new people from all over. Trips to the various... More

This backpacker place is on the main road, in town. We had a 6 person dorm, with comfy beds. The bathrooms are clean and plenty of hot water. The place is large and sprawling. The communal kitchen is in the main house and is clean and well stocked. There are plenty of places to relax and hang out. There is... More

It's a goog place to stay and meet friends. I had a single room. It was clean with a small bathroom. I slept just one night and it was good, but probably it is not so confortable for more days.. Anyway, I think is a good place to come back!

We stayed in a double room with en suite for one night, although the room we ended up in actually had 4 beds - I thought this room might normally be used as a 4 bed dorm. This did mean we had a large amount of space for only 2 people. The decor was a bit tired, although the room... More

The room was OK although it was right on the road so pretty noisy and the twin beds weren’t as comfortable as any of the other places we stayed in South Africa. The ensuite, however, was very clean. There was an impersonal ‘factory’ feel about the place. There is a secure parking with an access code which is first-come first-served... More

Based on some reviews that we saw here ("Best backpackers in south africa") we had some high expectations of this place. It was just okay and the negatives far outweighed the positives. We stayed in two family rooms over five nights. The kitchen is poorly equipped and they clearly have a problem with theft based on the number of signs... More
