Super cool hostel. Some nice hiking possibilities. The hostel itself organises workshops and u can have a nice breakfast there. They also cook every night (meat and vegan/ vegetarian). The food was nice and affordable. There are many nice artsy details in the furniture and building. They also have a cute shop and tattoo studio that is great. Big camping place. We where there in autumn and there was every day a fire, a nice way to be warm outside.

Beat hostel I've ever stayed in! The most beautiful location, friendly staff, great food, and the nicest dormitories with a terrace. I'll definitely be back here :)

what makes disgusted the most is this driver who put the cost on my account he overcharged for the whole trip ,thanks for another traveller recommended another credible driver ,his high cost delivering lyrics would be. hey you can't find a Uber driver here and looks at the cost of safari trip ,but come on,please look at yourself taking advantage of traveller meanwhile approaching people like he is one of the guest or local something ,I paid once but there won't be another time

Dorm gut, Dusche warm. Sehr schöne, ruhige Lage. Gutes, preiswertes Essensangebot. Angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre. Schiessstand in Hörweite - manchmal kaum störender Schiessbetrieb.

Dieser Ort ist magisch! Unglaubliche Aussicht, sehr nette Menschen, super Essen. Man lernt sofort Leute kennen, es gibt viel zu sehen und erleben. Eine kleine Hippie-Oase mitten in der Natur. Man muss aber auch mit vielen Krabbeltieren/Spinnen rechnen - aber das ist an so einem naturverbundenen Ort eigentlich klar.

Das Hostel ist schön im Grünen gelegen. Um das Hostel herum kann man sehr viel entdecken, wenn man möchte. Man braucht nach Plettenberg ca. 30 Minuten mit dem Auto. Zimmer sind sauber, WLAN hat überall gut funktioniert. Wir hatten kein warmes Wasser zum duschen. Da die Tage relativ kalt waren, wäre dies schön gewesen.

A great hostel with a really nice vibe, would definitely stay again. Awesome natural location, but a little isolated if you don't have your own vehicle. We stayed in a safari tent and were really comfortable. Were worried beforehand that there wouldn't be much room, but it was actually fine. Plenty of space underneath bed too. Shared kitchen was large and spacious, but could be a little better stocked. Pots were a little scarce. Breakfasts and dinners are available to buy. Decent WiFi.

It's something different, in the middle of the forest, a little more hippie than I thought, but I definitely rate it positively.

The place is so relaxing, all natural. A little far away from the city but that’s the point. Perfect place to recharge batteries

we are entering winter now. i would favour this more with its current set up. Adding some heated blankets or fan heater in the bedroom woud help as well as extension leads. There was only one plug in my room. Nature valley is stunning. The beach is a car journey away. Maintenance required on short walking paths. Staff accommodating.

A beautifully located hostel right in the middle of nowhere with amazing views at the mountains (and stars at night). Good staff, amazing vibe.

What a lovely place! Every night we sat around the campfire and exchanged very enjoyable conversations with other travellers. There was a very strong sense of community, specially when eating dinner together in the evenings. There was also live music on the Saturday evening. They had complimentary coffee and tea which was a nice touch and the most beautiful location. We would have loved to stay longer and I would recommend this place to anyone.
