Staying at Karma, I was amazed every day by the people's friendly, kind and welcoming way in this place: always up for a chat, eager to provide their guests with detailed information and maps for trips and hikes in the area and offering us vegetables for free for cooking from their garden. This backpackers hostel truly has a soul! The...

The perfect place to relax and for hikes in the Drakensberge. We loved the huge garden, the beautiful rooms, the cosy lounge, huge well equipped kitchen where tons of jam are cooked (try rosemary-pear it´s devine), and of course the cute dogs and cats. We stayed there longer then intended it was just so comfortable and lovely. Ask Vera Ann...

Karma backpackers had been recommanded to me by word of mouth and it was up to all my expectations. It is a little piece of home at the doorstep of the Drakensberg. Perfect base if one wishes to hike Monts-aux-Sources / Tugela Falls / Amphitheatre.
The backpacker is very well taken care of, the rooms are cosy, the kitchen is...

Stopped over for the night on the way home to Cape Town from KZN. Really lucky find - an oasis in the Free State.
Excellent service, great value for money, lovely rooms, very homely and the most delicious and interesting jams -- which i still dream about over a year later!

Karma Backpackers is a fantastically relaxing place to stay. Tucked away in the small town of Kestell - looking onto the Drakensberg Mountains, Karma backpackers meshes a wonderfully organic atmosphere with the comfort and sense of ease that is often so difficult to find. Everyone is extremely friendly and there is a definite aura of unobtrusive and endearing intimacy between...
