Best Backpacker in Plett
This place is all about the staff. They made my stay. Professional, helpful, knowledgeable and always prepared to go that extra mile and always with a smile in their face. They deserve to be paid so much more.

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay, wonderful staff. 5 stars
The rooms and bathroom were well kept. The staff is exceptional. They will help you book your trips and also get you discounts where applicable. The staff is really top notch. They will recommend restaurants and activities for you to do if you run out of ideas. You can mingle with everyone there, which made the stay really enjoyable and felt a little like home for the 5 days that we were there. Overall, best backpackers that I have been to so far.

4/10 Fair

Gammelt, slidt og beskidt.
Knap så rent, knap så komfortabelt. Ikke pengene værd. Halv pris, og det havde matchet omgivelserne.
