Bright, modern, and airy, a pleasant place to stay. Security seemed good, with keycoded gates, locks on bedroom doors etc., but no in-room lockers. When I visited it didn't seem that busy so there wasn't any atmosphere. I guess that with the right people though it could warm up a bit.

Don't know how good the location is for shops, buses etc., but on main road though, so some noise at night. Secure parking is offered over road at ZAR40. Bed was comfy, good size and nice to have a shelf with reading lamp etc., plus decent space in the room. Had only 1 bathroom, which seems insufficient if the place is even moderately busy. Plus 1 cooker, mcirowave, braai. Very clean, perfectly decent, but no atmosphere, and manager left at night.

There are a couple of things that need improving, but I really liked this place! The mattress was old/thin & a bed used the previous night hadn't been tidied, plus the showers (paraffin power!) could do w/lasting more than 3 mins. Fix this, add some lockers & its excellent. Good, help yourself b/fast, relaxed, convenient for NP, real atmosphere. John, Stoffel & the b/packers dogs are v friendly, & Orange Elephant has tasty food, characterful Randy, and a lovely German waitress. Thanks all.

Disappointed. If you're driving the location, overlooking the forest, is great, but w/o is remote. Bed fine, decent amount of space, large kitchen, nice walks, nice outdoor area. Meals served looked interesting, tasty. But cleanliness is v. poor (mice in kitchen but staff didn't seem too bothered, felt like rooms not cleaned in ages) & feels like a place that used to be honestly hippy but is now a bit pretentious. No door keys, lockers. Nice to meet old hippies though and v friendly gentle dogs.

Highly recommended. It was very quiet when I was there so don't know what its like for meeting other travellers, but the place is really made by the owners, who look after it as a home. So it is clean, cosy, relaxed, friendly. Comfy beds, number of showers/toilets seems about right, help yourself cereals, fruit, bread, eggs breakfast, courtyard, keycode security. Easy, safe walk to waterfront or town. Friendly dog. It is the owners that make it though. Thanks to Carl (Karl?) for all the help.
