Away with the Fairies Backpackers

"One of the best hostels in the country" - Footprint

Away with the Fairies is an up-market backpackers boasting a superb location with the best view of the mountains in Hogsback.  Hiking trails to The Big Tree and Madonna and Child begin in the garden, which is the home to Cape Parrots, Knysna Louries and hundreds of Yellow Wood Trees.  It is a short walk to the village centre and all the attractions therein.

In the main house we have a large open sitting room with an open fire place where you can relax and just take in the spectacular views; it also has a well equipped self catering kitchen.

We have a lively bar and restaurant, which shows sporting events on big screen. We offer breakfast and scrummy pizzas in the evenings. These meals are not included in the price.
