Good location, clean and tidy but staff are poor and the manager is rude. Don't eat there - better value is available in the village (especially breakfast in the village coffee shop). If you don't have a car be prepared for very expensive ride to Storms River Mouth but the zip wire in the village is good.

i stayed 5 nights in the dorms. the place has nice facilities and is very very clean. the cleaning ladies work very hard!! the downstairs dorm means that you have to walk through the kitchen, lounge, entertainment area and bar to get to the shower which feels a bit strange. but there was always enough bathrooms for people to use....

We arrived without booking and we the staff was very friendly and showed us 2 double room. One with bathroom inside and one without. We choose the one without since the shared bathroom was clean. The room was spacious and the view just breath-taking. After a walk and dinner we came back and in the play area we played with... More

We were placed in the en-suite room next to the bar, so till late there was a lot of noise coming from the bar. The walls are dry walling, so the noises goes trough. And as it is a double story building, the people on top of us made lot of noise. Further it was a very nice stay.

Tsitsikamma Backpackers surely is the best place to stay when you don't want to spend a lotof money and still want the privacy of a hotel. We had a double room with ensuite bathroom and all was clean and cosy. When we had a problem with the rain leaking through the gutter it was fixed the same day. It's nice... More

I just loved staying three days with Tsitsikamma Backpackers people. They are very friendly and nice, just what I heard about South African people. It's a very fair price, with a light breakfast and good beds. It can be awful if you are used to hotels... they like parties and people from Tsitsikamma Village always come to stay at their... More

My friend and I stayed overnight in the Twin bedroom on route to Cape Town and we were extremely impressed with the cleanliness, service and location. We have already recommended it to several people. The only problem we found is that the bedroom was right above the lounge area and so you got all the noise from the television and... More
