Filthy. Really, a group of us stayed for one night, had a great time.. but when we went to our rooms they were absolutely shocking. The sheets had not been cleaned in months- this was confirmed when we got back and every single person had contracted beg bugs. Avoid until they sort out their cleanliness issues.

Me and my boyfriend who are travelling SA for 5weeks, Stayed here for one night before heading on an 8hr drive the next day. We decided to experiment and stay in one of the tree-houses (took a lot as he is seriously scared of spiders) for 540zar per night as they looked awesome! The backpackers itself was very quirky and... More

Touring the South African coast, Baz Bus brought us to this amazing place. The hostel is serenity personified. Tree houses, tipi's and dorms are hidden amongst banana trees and the whole place has a very chilled, hippie vibe. Staff and other residents are friendly. There is a pool and jacuzzi, a bar which even serves fresh coffee and cocktails and... More

Mantis & Moon Backpackers is a nice place for Surfers, because you are very close to a beautiful Beach with good waves. The staff ist always friendly and helpful. The backpackers is build up like a jungle camp. Everything is handmade with love to details. Sadly, Our dobble bed room was very small. If you like a cosy and crazy... More

I had an amazing time at Mantis and Moon! Very open and friendly people. I became one of them during the time i was there. I felt very welcome and because i traveled alone it was extra nice they payed attention to me. It was if i entered a fairy tail in the jungle in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful... More

This place is set in Umzumbe, but its a little hidden piece of paradise! All the times (and there has been a few- as its a 'go-again' type of place) I have felt nothing but at home, with friendly staff superb accommodation. With the right kind of vibe, and the sea just a 2 min walk away..what could be better?... More

The backpackers is very homey and was a nice break in our trip from Durban to Coffee Bay. The hostel has a great vibe and the staff are very friendly and great to have a beer or two with. The bed was comfy and everything was clean. They have a kitchen so you can cook your own food, but if... More

Rooms were dark and dingy with one tiny mirror in the bathroom. No fan and we had the "best" room. No towels, not even a hand towel! Sheets were old and looked like they hadn't been washed. My pillow STANK. Staff seemed to be there to have a party and when I asked for a cocktail at the bar (they... More

This place is obviously run by, well, nobody!! Staff don't care about anything . The place is dirty beyond belief. You are paying B&B prices R540 per night for a double room. Not worth R100. I would have preferred to sleep in my car. At least the party that lasted till 3am would not have kept me awake!!! AVOID AVOID... More
