Hlabelela Backpackers Lodge

Banners Rest

Chalet, Self Catering

(2 units)

Nestled in the Umtamvuna Valley, with a view of the River and the Transkei, this incredible little Backpackers Lodge was built with an eye for the surreal. Inspired by the architects who are able to blend nature with modern comfort, this Gaudi-esque collection of thatched homes is as beautiful as it is unique.

A two minute drive from the Old Pont, and the Umtamvuna Nature Reserve, a five minute drive from the beach, and literally on the doorstep of the Red Desert Reserve, it has all the benefits of the surrounding nature and good access to amenities.

The laid back atmosphere really inspires relaxing moods and chilled out afternoons by the pool. Although the interior of the buildings are equally as ambient, each one as unique as it is comfortable and affordable. As long as your pets are friendly, ours are too, just enquire first. We look forward to meeting you.

The lodge is kitted out with two large self catering units, capable of sleeping 6 and 8 people each, and two smaller ensuite units.

Reviews of Hlabelela Backpackers Lodge

"Super-chilled with awesome deck"

Ben | 16 August 2019

"Spacious, very well-priced room, with deck overlooking the river. It's a magic spot, highly recommended. "

"Amazing Hlabelela... "

anonymous | 13 August 2018

"We loved our stay at the lodge. It was peaceful and quiet. We could even hear the birds chirping.

Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was enormous with boiling hot water which we appreciated as the weather was like 12 degrees.

The view was breathtaking.

"Room with a View"

Thomas | 4 July 2018

"Hlabelela Backpackers Lodge is a really interesting place, the design and nature come together to offer the most tranquil and beautiful place to stay. We were a stone throw away from the coffee farm, the river and the uMtumvana hiking trail. The facilities are great and hosts welcoming. I would highly recommend this place to any traveler.
Vicky was a great host and was very welcoming and kind. She offered all the information we needed to explore this part of the coast line. Thank you"
