The location of Nelspruit is close... More

“A little paradise”

Reviewed February 19, 2013

Nelspruit's Old Vic Travellers Inn is located at the very limit of the town. Behind the backpackers there's a rugged hill and a stream. The quietness of the place offers to relax and spend some time sipping one of South Africa's beers. Dave and Bella are very cheerful, friendly and helpful hosts. If I ever come back to Nelspruit, I... More

“The best stay in a gorgeous location and an owner with a heart for hospitality and showing people they are worth receiving fanta”

Reviewed February 9, 2013 via mobile

The Old Vic is a travelers dream. Dave (the owner) has an honest gift of showing hospitality to others. I've travelled heavily for the past 8 years and I have never had a more gracious host at a hostel. He bent over backwards to get everyone I stayed with tickets to the African Cup game in town and arranged travel... More

We were on our way to Johannesburgh and it was a public holiday that weekend, so options where to stay were pretty rare. When we wanted to check in, a girl called Happiness was showing us the facilities. She wasn't happy at all, very unfriendly but yet still helpful. We parked our car in front of the guesthouse and told... More
