We stayed here for 3 nights and had pre-booked a package that included accomodation in a thatched cottage, all meals including packed lunch and two all day excursions with guide. Good value for £160 each. Watching the sun set over the Drakensberg with a beer in hand was something else. Meals were served in the local cafe by friendly staff... More

We stayed in Sani Lodge in July 2012. Have to say, it was the best place we stayed at in S.A. aside from tenting it in Kruger. Mathew was our guide, he was easily one of the nicest and most sincere people we met. Really great guide. Met some lovely lovely backpackers. The people operating the hostel were so helpful... More

A real top-quality backpackers. Comfortable, basic, accommodation, interesting people, lots of information, well-run - by a helpful lady called Scholar - and good location. We had a rondavel - comfortable, clean - good value for money. Bit of a knack to the door lock - and our neighbours got locked in! Bring mosquito coils. Food was simple, delicious fayre -... More

We stayed in a Rondaveld at Sani Lodge for two nights. For the rate of 400 R for the double room it was really excellent. The Rondaveld had nice views on the mountain range and a comfortable bed. Behind a wall there was a rather basic but clean bathroom with hot shower. It didnt have a door so there was... More

Best kept secret in SA... As locals we are amazed at the affordability of an excellent holiday in our own country. This four star home from home is incredible and lives us to all its reviews, photographs and promises. It is authentic, genuine and real about sustainable tourism supporting local communities. This well oiled 20 year old gem is spotless,... More

Honestly, nothing to complain about. Tranquil setting, relaxed, informative, comfortable, clean. Would definately stay again! Wonderful veranda for sipping coffee or wine overlooking sani pass. Perfect location for hikes

Set in the picturesqueness Drakensberg, this backpacker offers everything you want and more! Very comfy beds, a warm communal area, plenty of showers and 3 levels of hikes on the doorstep. A stones throw away from the Sani Pass and Lesotho. I would recommend this place to anyone!

I and a couple of friends stayed at Sani Pass one night in October. When we arrived it was pouring rain, and the free tea and fire in the cozy common area were very welcome. I stayed in an otherwise empty dorm that was clean and outfitted with hot water bottles for the chilly night. Dinner the night we stayed... More

Warm and cozy This was the perfect place for our 3 nights in the Drakensburg Mountains. We stayed in a 4 person dorm. The rooms are small, but ended up being a good thing if the weather is cool. The beds are very comfortable with lots of blankets to keep you warm. The bathrooms are clean and the showers hot.... More
