Very great location and easy to enter. No problem
Maybe just some cupboards in the room, Don't like living out of a travel bag

It's more of a guesthouse than a backpackers but a really good spot to get a cheap, comfortable and clean room with a good kitchen and a friendly host. Close to town too.
The room was a little warm and the fan was broken, not a huge issue.

Breakfast was not included
The manager was rude and not helpful at all. She said to me that she could not accept the Booking .com. reference as confirmation and insisted that i open my laptop to find her emails after we have been working and travelling the whole day.

The deck that our bedroom led out to was private and we could have meals there as a family.
1. The hostess was not hospitable.
2. I asked if my 85 year old aunt could have dinner with us as she was sleeping in her car overnight to collect someone and the answer was NO.
3. I asked the following day if the same aunt could come in JUST to change her clothing in the room. The answer was NO.
4. We were 2 adults in our mid 50's with 2 teenage sons. We were treated like children in a dormitory. The was a complete lack of compassion for an old lady and no ability from the hostess to accommodate a reasonable request.

The privacy. It has been my first stay at a backpackers I arrived close to midnight and they were very accommodating, sufficient. They were the complete opposite of what I thought it to be. Came from a 350km drive and needed a place to stay for the night. Rooms was clean, bathroom was clean I had my own private room safe and secured. Very impressive Amakhaya thank you.
There was nothing I didn't like

Everything was very neat and tidy. We had a lovely evening
The Netflix and dstv didn't work, so we couldn't watch any TV. Tried contacting the owner or staff but they already replied the next day when leaving. But overall the room was nice

Good place to have a rest.

Nothing was good, the room was so small with single bads, shower outside. In the morning no water to shower but check out time is 10am without bathing. It was the worst experience I ever had in my life
Same as above

Friendly and helpful staff.
Location is perhaps not ideal if you do not have a car. I would not walk alone at night in the area

We arrived at backpackers within check-in hours but nobody answered the intercom at the gate. We then called 3 different phone numbers which we could find for the property but nobody answered. We then left for another hotel. The next day we learned that we would have received a text with gate code for the touch-less check-in which we never did--only a WhatsApp message from the owner asking if we stayed at the property.
