I stayed for 3 nights and although it was the slow season I enjoyed every minute of it. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Though no wifi and weak cellular signal it's a great place to get away and enjoy some recluse time.
Clean with lots of character. Basic rooms. Host is very accommodating. Perfect stop for crossing the border. Safe parking close to the rooms. Shared kitchen with lots of fridges.
Very friendly staff, but overpriced for what is on offer , the room finishes are poor and the place a little run down , perfect for budget backpackers if the price was more reasonable.. The location is however beautifull and very rustic .
Rustic welcoming experience the decor is well suited for the area and gives you the perfect amount of wilderness and hospitality. Will never stop visiting this backpacker's.
Very friendly staff, great place to wind down and relax, some trials, a pool, a bar, the rooms are rustic and very nice. Worth a mention, the hostess can braai like a boss!-top notch!
