Backpackers South Africa

After having the days off between Easter and 1st of May, we're back from our trip. This time we did the Garden Route again and went up north to the Cederberg mountains. So in this post, I will write a bit about the Backpackers/Hostels we stayed at. Of course, they were mainly members of SAYTC where we could get Moola Magic discounts...

This accommodation is the closest of SAYTC's backpackers to the most Southern tip of SA - Cape Agulhas. But it's not located there, it's in Struisbaai (not even a 10 minutes drive to the Cape). Our room at the Backpacker was very nice. We booked an ensuite double room and had an own little private patio. Price: good! Room & Hostel: nice!

We had a very nice stay in the Park House Lodge, but it was also the most expensive one. We had a again an ensuite double room, which was nice & clean. But the best is the garden. Many flowers and a big lawn where you can enjoy your breakfast in the sun.

And again a few nights in Albergo for Backpackers - enjoying the fireplace in the evening (braai time). See my other blog post for this accommodation-> http://exploringcapetown.blogspot.com/2011/03/garden-route-part-i.html

Also a pretty nice hostel. Our room was not very special, but it was big & clean. What more do you need...some showers are an extension of the building, so it can become a bit cold. But there are also some inside. Also a nice fireplace to sit around in the evening.

To stay near the Cederberg mountains, we booked a chalet at Citrus Creek. Our little apartment was quite nice, but unfortunately we just had a bathtub without shower head. So if you want to take a shower you need to use the showers of the camping site. Great playground for children - Bennet especially enjoyed the old tractor.
