Fairy Knowe Backpackers Lodge

Bedroom set up was lovely. Staff very friendly. Quiet surroundings.Kitchen for cooking needs better light.

What a relaxing place. After the business of Plett. Bay and Krysna, I'm loving this peaceful quiet place. Drinking a glass of wine overlooking a peaceful river while the seabreeze comes in from the ocean. Easy walking distance to the beach and the Kingfisher trails. They have live music as well, but it's down the hill (apart from the dorms) so you can come and go as you wish, enjoy the company and drinks but also head to a quiet place to sleep. Highly recommend!!

Really love it here, so relaxing and friendly. The staff are very nice and helpful and the setting is perfect! We stayed about 20 yrs ago and it's just as good now. I love the veranda and sat there alot just listening to the birds and reading. There is breakfast, lunch and dinner available to buy and all is nice. Free tea and coffee all day too, plus a bar. There is also a laundry service that the ladies that clean there do which is a great addition to the place. An assortment of friendly cats and dogs complete the relaxing and friendly atmosphere of the whole thing. Well done guys, really you've nailed it with this place, thank you for doing it 👍

Shout-out to Adrian and his team. Fairy Knowe is looking spectacular and and so much good energy, spotless and super yummy food, very safe, and all the special touches especially in the bathrooms... Massive gratitude to the beautiful Bonita, resident artist and groundskeeper, whose hard work and talent is evident indoors and out. All drawing an awesome crowd to the bar, definitely the place to be summer coming up

We can not wait to come back there again!!!!! The team is very welcoming, location is beautiful. Lots of entertainment for kids, live music, nice bar. Pleasure to stay there for the family with children or solo. Beaches is just in 5min away. Shops nearby. Great value for the money! Our favorite spot from now on 💯

Awesome place to stay at, made to feel very welcome. Old house, massive rooms. Love the bar area, with the massive trees. Just out of this world. Just be a little more attentive on booking in the guests. ✌️💯

I was so lucky to find this sweet place! It was uncrowded, quiet and inexpensive. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good with plenty of hot water and pressure. The staff and the other people I met there were interesting and friendly; I had great conversations around the fire in the evenings. The location is great too! I loved walking along the boardwalk trail to the beach and the lagoon. The waterfall trail starts right there and the supermarket is a walkable distance. I enjoyed the large collection of books and also there was some good live music while I was there. If you’re a nature lover who likes walking and meeting conscious people, this is the place. Stay in the upstairs dorm, it’s airy with beautiful views of the river and hills, ocean and sunrise!

What a wonderful, peaceful surprise. Extremely neat. We camped for 2x knights with 3x dogs. It was only a pleasure although there is no electricity. A very relaxing place. We do recommend Wildernis Backpackers and hope to visit them again.
