    We booked 2 rooms and a tent. Tent feels like you sleep under the sky, because windows are always open. Keep it in mind if you book in cold weather (but they have a heater). Tent is very modern, bed is perfect, shower is good. Everything is very...

    Nice place to stay very well located close to the Tsitsikama hikes, the room was small but had all we needed. The private terrasse was very appreciated :) We did not get the chance to test the pool but people in it seemed to enjoy it

    Such a charming hostel! The hot tub was the highlight for me, since I arrived at night after a long hike. The dorm room felt spacious (although only three people staying at the time).
