There is a nice atmosphere here and the staff are very friendly and incredibly helpful. The room was lovely and clean. There is a lovely camp fire everynight outside. It is a very short walk to a couple of quirky, cheap restaurants with excellent, home cooked food. Lots of activities right on the door step. unfortunately it was tainted for... More

Are you planning to do the bungy jump? Do it and stay over at Tube n Axe. Storms river village is a cute little village, with a restaurant, forest and the backpackers. You can do adventure things and especially the bungy jump (25 km to drive). We stayed over in a double room, beautiful decorated, family, very clean and you... More

I liked the feel of Tube n Axe - with its picturesque surroundings, it provided very affordable and sociable accommodation ranging from private rooms to tented camps, to camping. Bar, pool table, activity centre and laundry service all available. I stayed in a private double room which was actually quite small (just enough space for the bed only!), and not... More

I traveled with 2 other girls in South Africa and all three of us agreed that this was our favourite backpackers lodge. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect for being on an adventure in Africa and it was a great place to socialize & have drinks. We didn't have any issues with this lodge and wished we could have spent more... More

We were in a large party and only staying one night , we all had dinner which was very nice and not very expensive. The bar area and bonfire are a relaxing area to sit and have a beer after a long day travelling, was a shame just to spend one night

Had a lovely few days here with wonderful staff, lively fun bar, good food available, activities organised and great and clean accommodation. Rooms looked lovely but we stayed in the raised tent which if you like that kind of thing is great fun, very cheap and a memorable experience. Try the bungee - an AMAZING experience! Though check the water... More

Both the backpackers and the area are really beautiful. The backpackers is clean and well maintained and the kitchen was reasonably well equipped. I would definitely stay here again!
