The rest and beautiful place did our souls good.
Lovely layout and location. Everything is beautiful and everyone is very helpful. I suggest that when you go camping at the glamping tents, bring a folding table and camping chairs. There is little/no storage space for your things.

Wel wat kan 'n mens sê? Dit was 'n verassing en uniek na wat ons gesoek het. Die natuur doen wonders aan 'n mens en almal was nice en vriendelik. Die eienarrs moet net vir die oom wat hle media doen vra on hom in te hou by die gaste en sy eie ding te doen. Verder was dit uitstekend goed en ons sal definitief weer soontoe gaan.

Well what can one say? It was a surprise and unique to what we were looking for. Nature does wonders to a person and everyone was nice and friendly. The owners should just ask the uncle who does hle media to keep him to himself with the guests and do his own thing. Other than that it was excellent and we will definitely go there again.
It was breathtaking and definitely unique for a married couple. All friendly staff and they look after the place very well really down to the owner Eddie I think that makes it so nice. Oh yes, how can I forget the friendly drivers and her 2 helpers, beautiful boys and very spontaneous.

Glamping under the stars.
As we were the only guests for the evening, they upgraded us to a tent with an ensuite bathroom and barbecue. I thought I was going to get cold in the tent, but it was very cozy warm. They were very accommodating towards my dog as well. It is the ideal place for foreigners and young people to gather from far and wide and enjoy each other's company over a campfire.

Not up to standard, not worth the money at all.
Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment to spend the night here. The kitchen is not well equipped at all. Our group had to go and buy glasses because there weren't even any. There weren't even mugs for coffee or knives and forks. The bathrooms were extremely dirty. Some of the drivers were hanging out until midnight hours and were so drunk and noisy. It was so disturbing and they made the whole bathroom dirty because someone got nauseous. More than that, all the bedding was dirty. We can't even sleep under the blankets. In one of our tents, mice climbed out of the pillow when we put our head down on the pillow. I've stayed in a few backpackers, but this one was nowhere near standard. And for the price we paid per person I would at least expect a clean bed, tent, knife and fork or pot. It was a really negative experience. stay away

Not luxurious, but cozy and interesting.
We chose the Backpackers because Dana Snyman's second Black Dog concert was presented there and it was convenient and affordable to just stay at the same place. It's not a place that offers luxury accommodation, but it's clean and affordable and it has character. The nooks and crannies on the site, the cozy garden and Pixie's hospitality made it a special stay. Also make sure you visit the fairy garden on site!

Looking for a place to stay for two nights while I check out the new plot of land I bought near Velddrif.
Communal kitchen is not kept tidy by residents. There doesn't seem to be any staff doing this either. Price for the room(s) per night does not justify the facilities available - no private bathroom. Communal bathroom is not kept clean, again, residents are responsible and most do not pay attention to notices. One night I had to ask the staff myself to turn down their music (doof-doof) so that we could rest (after 9 pm).

Hi Wouter,
Ons is baie jammer oor die probleem met die kombuis, die dames wat skoonmaak maak elke oggend seker dat dit skoon is daar. Elke gas is ook verantwoordelik om self agter hulle skoon te maak as hulle iets gebruik deur die dag want die dames het ook ander areas om skoon te hou. In ons beskrywing op Travelground se dit duidelik "Communal Bathrooms" so nie een van ons kamers het 'n privaat badkamer nie. Die persoon wat u stil gaan maak het was nie van ons personeel lede nie, dit was een van die permanente huurders hier en dit was uitgeklaar met hom.
Weereens jammer oor die ongerief.

Altavia was amazing, she welcomed us and showed us around, the grounds were well taken care of and facilities were looked after, the "houses" were indeed very warm but it was a hot day, if you just have to sleep there there are no complaints. We will definitely come back again with more friends to spend a weekend there!

Hi Mart,
Soos ek aan jou verduidelik het maak ons die kantoor 17h00 middae toe die nommer van die kantoor staan op die hek en ons het 'n klokkie wat gelui kan word. Wat toilet geriewe aanbetref ons werkers maak skoon en maak ook altyd seker dat dit skoon is, maar jammer as julle dit vuil gekry het. Die mense wat musiek gemaak het, het ek net na elf stil gemaak, dit was 'n lang naweek en almal wou hulle net geniet.

Interesting setup with a lot of potential.
Extremely disappointed with service - the lady didn't know about our booking, but at least helped after I showed her the confirmation via LekkeSlaap. The price is totally unrelated to what is on offer, similar backpackers at Elandsbaai charge R150 per night! The bathroom was originally clean and tidy until I saw the cat using it as a toilet without anyone cleaning and disinfecting it! The fitted sheet of the bed was also dirty and full of soil, clearly not made up and the linen not replaced! Sorry, but I'm laying it at management's door! As said, the place has a lot of potential.
