Cheap hotels in Port St Johns

The place is spectacularly located and the journey there is adventurous, but feasible to get to it with a regular car. This fenced-in and very safe backpackers stay is surrounded by pure nature and has sweeping views of the sea. A place made for tranquility and a good rest. Many hiking options and an authentic feeling of rural Africa. Zikhona ist ann energetic and knowledgable host. The welcome was warm and very friendly. They waited for us despite our late arrival and introduced us to the many facilities. We even decorated a Christmas tree together with the host. Our rooms were mistakenly given out to other guest and we were placed in a dormitory like big huts with a shared room with separate beds. Unfortunately, the group of guests who were given our rooms arrived with the intention of partying all night long. Therefore we were exposed to loud music and lively activity all night long. Second night was heavenly quiet and filled with only the sound of nature. The shared facilities like the 3 bathrooms, huge kitchens, and recreational spaces are very well equipped, have breathtaking viewsa and are spotlessly clean. Because of the amazing location, tranquality and wonderful beaches, stay minimum 2 nights.

The restaurant serves food all day long and there were many good options on the menu. The food was great!

Everything especially the view and our host Karen♥️ she was such a sweetheart

The view and breakfast was delicious

It was a beautiful place, and the owner the was very nice and accommodating.

Louis is a warm, open, and caring host. He guided us via WhatsApp from Lusikisiki to the accommodation, which gave us a real sense of safety while driving on unpaved roads in the dark. He even brought us groceries from town and was always helpful. The accommodation is a small camp with two cozy bungalows, which he runs together with his mother, three friendly dogs, and a cat. The facilities are excellent—everything was clean and well-maintained. One of the highlights is the wide, beautiful view over the mountains all the way to the sea. A walk of about 25 minutes through the village leads to a picturesque waterfall. You get a truly authentic feeling of life in a South African village, far away from mass tourism. The villagers were very friendly and curious. Louis knows the entire village well and helps out with small agricultural jobs in the community. For us, the stay was an absolute highlight. We would return anytime and can highly recommend it to everyone.

The ambiance is spectacular! This is our hideout place where we love to unwind and we will always keep coming back here. Late mornings in bed. Day time strolls to the beach and river, and night time dinners around a warm fire with a breathtaking view.
