My husband and I stayed at Mbizi on our first night of our honeymoon before moving on to Enkosini wildlife sanctuary! We were met at the airport by Mbizi's owner, Patrick, who is the most charming, hospitable and funny guy, who loves his cricket..! We stayed in the double-en-suite, which I have to say was spotlessly clean and cosy. I... more

We were promptly picked up at the airport by Nicholas and driven speedily to our backpackers. The room was spotless, although a little dark and decor left a little to be desired. It has a laid back bar where stories are shared among fellow travellers. Patrick, the owner, serves a good Springbok shot! He is full of chat and knows... more

We got picked up from the airport and taken to Mbizi's. It was like showing up at someone's house and they're not home. Didn't meet Patrick till the next day, but I just made myself at home anyways. Good sized place, nice big screen tv, bar area is nice. Overall a good place to stay, just be prepared to pay... more

Had a great stay for 2 nights. Patrick was really helpful and friendly. Got a very cheap airport pickup which was great and the hostel was clean and tidy with good sized lockers in the rooms. The pool and bar were excellent and theres a supermarket and pizza restaurant a short distance away. Got to meet the owners friends and... more

15 mins away from the airport and the owner Patrick picked me up on time. Relaxed safe environment with a swimming pool and pool table in the back. A clean hostel, a lady cleans every day and it's a self catered kitchen with a pick and pay close by. I booked the Aparthe museum tour, the baz bus and the... more

Myself and a friend stayed at this property for two nights at the end of our holiday and overlanding trip. Patrick (the owner) was great and picked us up from the airport. The lodge itself is great, a home from home. It even has satellite tv with Sky news so I could catch up on all the doom and gloom.... more

We stayed at this hostel for 2 nights at the end of our South African trip and thought that it was an excellent place. The hostel is very clean, the backyard with the bar area and the pool is an oasis and the owner works hard to make you feel at home. It's a relatively new place (it wasn't in... more
