Our family stayed for a couple of nights at Outeniqua Travel Lodge. Very affordable for the great service and comfort you get. It was for sure home from home and my 2 and 6 year old had a great time and also felt welcome. Clean bedding, fresh coffee every morning and a cosy fireplace in the evening made us feel... More

Would not advise staying at the Outeniqua Lodge in George. My partner and I had arranged to stay there to then be informed that our booking had been cancelled the morning of arrival. We turned up to discuss the issue just to be faced with there non responding door bell. Luckily we found a place a couple of kilometres away... More

I have stayed here before, but this place has only improved over time. The owner can still be really grumpy and annoying, but when you take it all as a joke you can just laugh it off. The other owner is really friendly and will help you with everything. The lodge is really clean and the rooms are really nice.... More

Arrived to find our Booking.com reservation (for 4 rooms) had been lost and only one room was booked in our name. Rooms are OK, but make sure you confirm your reservation as owner seems to be a little confused with Booking.com's reservation system.

Stayed here for one night with husband and 9 month old son. Lovely and helpful people, nice and clean room and bathroom, lovely living room, fully equiped kitchen, nice terrasse with a little swimmingpool. The room and the doublebed is however a bit small. If you are two and need some space - go for a room with twin beds.... More

I just needed a quiet place to sleep, having been to several hostels in the past where there's late night partying. This place was just what I needed. The owners even gave me my own room for the same price as a dorm room - not sure how common that is, maybe they just weren't busy at the time. It... More

We travel from Cape Town to George/Knysna for work quite frequently and over the last 2 years, we have stayed at the Outeniqua Travel Lodge as our preferred accommodation. Dawie and Sue are always helpful and friendly and the Lodge has become our home away from home. It is great value for money and we are always made to feel... More

I spent one night at this hostel and would not have lasted another. The bathroom had a horrible smell, there was no hot water in the shower and there was no heat in the entire house. I traveled during winter and could barely sleep at night because I was so cold. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

The best pillows ever!! You’ll sleep well :o) If you’re lucky you can get a double bed all to yourself in the dorm for the regular dorm-bed-price *Sigh* Loved it!

You will encounter professionalism and taste where it matters, but in a very gentle and laid-back atmosphere.Be warned, they are unashamedly snobbish. They won't charge you a lot of money but will require a lot of attitude, values and intellect!Ignore the grumpy owner (who is capable of faking a friendly smile now and again) and rather mix with the adventurous young guests. ... more   less
