The Hostelz.com Review
It's a very clean (really spotless) backpackers. Actually it's sometimes intimidating for its tidiness (the dorm beds too are made every day}. The common room is right next to the common kitchen, and it's side by side to the in-house bar. It looks a bit like "granny's cottage" with silverware and lace curtains too, but it's very warm and the couch is just about the best place to watch a video and relax. All rooms are ensuite with soap and towels too. The Spar is only 3 minutes away and so are the shops of Main Street. Don't miss Louis' (the manager) scones and pancakes breakfast.

Yes, clean and comfortable. Staff were attentive and helpful regarding local activities (they even booked activities for you on request), breakfast was very good. Plett's main high street is less than ten-minute walk away and the area felt very safe (if you go to Plett, eat at Franko's restaurant -- amazing one-hundred-eighty-degree panoramic view from their open-air restaurant). Not much of a backpackers vibe though but I'd still go back.

Stunning, fantastic place — more like a hotel than a backpackers, but without the price. Lovely friendly people, great atmosphere, probably the best accommodation we had on our two-week trip.

I was really amazed at the spotlessness of the place. I could not believe it. It was perfect.
