I don't even know where to begin… this was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have wished for a better one! the hostel/the hostel is such a magical perfect place. I felt so at home from the beginning thanks to Lieze, the staff and the locals. The work itself was very easy and flexible which offered me enough time to explore the beautiful area. I really can't name anything negative about this volunteering experience. This place and these people will always have a special place in my heart and I would definitely come back here one day <3.

An unforgettable experience at the hostel! Thank you so much to Lieze and the whole team for this amazing time. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and makes you feel at home, always happy to share their love and advice. I already miss the hostel and the beautiful view. The vibe is wonderful, I had an incredible time and would come back without hesitation!!!

My stay at the hostel was the perfect first Worldpackers experience. It's more than a destination—it's a home where everyone feels like family. Join activities (or create your own), explore on day trips, meet locals at volleyball, and soak up every moment—it goes by fast! The memories I made will last a lifetime. Huge thanks to everyone, especially Lieze, the heart of the hostel. I can't wait to return!

What to say? At first I just wanted to find a nice place to rest after a few months of traveling and what I found was far beyond my expectations. I found myself in a place of breathtaking beauty, but more than that, surrounded by incredible warmth and kindness. From the moment I arrived, the locals welcomed me as if I were already part of the community. And thanks to the staff and the other volunteers for all the good moments, banters, coffees and adventures. I'm now leaving with the a true desire to come back 😁

What can I say.. I couldn't be happier that I decided to stay in the hostel for 3 months . Everyone there is open, friendly und funny and quickly made me feel at home. The work hours were fun , I was making jokes with the staff in the morning or laughed even more with the other volunteers behind the bar in the evening . the hostel is a special place and from now on my favorite part about South Africa . Thank you for everything, can't we to see all you again in a few months 🫶🏼
