    The location was great and I really loved the view. Moreover, they just have to work a little bit more on their breakfast.

    Please try to let the dome beds linen look the same.By that, I mean let the top beds look alike and the floor beds linen look the same.. Maybe provide towels for guests.

    Your friendly staff at the reception were awesome. They really made me feel welcomed

    My first pizza was a little singed around the edges - I think food quality should always be considered, even when it's 9pm on a monday evening. The pizza was still great though :)

    The sunsets from the main balcony are unforgettable. The staff seems to all be volunteers, friendly and eager to make their guests comfortable. I enjoyed meeting all the people from different places - it was so busy while I was there, with new people coming and going nearly every day. I will definitely be back here, and am happy to have made such awesome new memories.

    Extremely bumpy round on entry, my poor car! We stayed over a week and it was pretty hectic on the car. We kinda just tried to take it very slow and easy, that would be my suggestion to everyone else. Slow and steady wins the race. They don't serve lunch which was sad. Also issues with shower made it a bit miserable as well as staff not cleaning the room for the duration of our stay.. You kinda just learn to cope though cause it's so lovely up there

    Amazing views, really cool staff, nice walks. So cool that its pet friendly too!! You get the most amazing sunsets, best views to wake up to in the morning as well! The staff are friendly and welcoming. Coffee Station were youake your own coffee, breakfast in the mornings, pizza in the evenings. I would highly recommend staying here!

    A bit of gravel road getting to a place. I had high expectations when they said it includes breakfast and was a bit disappointed with their breakfast ( bread,jam,peanut butter,weetbix,apples)Please do not expect our ordinary English breakfast. The basic pizza we bought was awful,maybe go for the meaty one's might be better. Otherwise the place is cool,I would go again.

    The views of this place are out of this world. The hosts are nice. The accommodation is fine but not fancy,it's a farm after all. If you are adventurous I would recommend. Lovely place.

    The room smelled a little strange (from the desinfection used maybe!?) and is very simple. But the beds were comfy and clean and we slept very well!

    Amazing little gem in the mountains. Very beautiful surroundings, friendly hosts, lively atmosphere, lekker Pizza!!

    It is pretty far away form wilderness, only book here if you have a car. The road up there is super bumpy but doable also with a small car.

    Really nice quiet hostel, good place to relax.

    Nothing particular, for a backpackers it had everything we needed.

    Our trip to the Garden route didn't turn out the way we hoped, due to all the rain our 5 day hiking trip got cancelled and we were looking around for a place to stay and came upon this nice Backpackers. It honestly exceeded our expectations! The staff were very friendly and helped us with what we needed. There is a nice communal hangout space with pool table and break area where we got to sit en socialise till late. The view is also another added bonus where we stood in awe looking out over the Wilderness beach. Big plus: breakfast included!
