Very good hostel
By Nelleke, 7/24/07
Hey, This hostel is worth trying when you happen to be in Oudtshoorn. We've only stayed there for one night, but I must say that the place has got everything a backpacker needs or even wants: breakfast, interesting tourist spots nearby, clean rooms, a pool, two lounges, a bookcase filled with books and a variaty of games, fast internetconnection and many things more... If you're in Oudtshoorn, definitely go to the zoo (ask the staff). It's possible to dive in a cage with crocodiles and touch cheetas and a lion. It's a bit expensive, but worth it. Believe me!
