Description

The McGregor Backpackers is situated in the heart of McGregor which nestles at the foot of the Riviersonderend mountains. The backpackers is conveniently close to all the places of interest in this beautiful village.

The McGregor Backpackers is really a marriage between a backpackers and budget guest house. Accommodation is offered in 4 double en-suite rooms which also contain a single bed, a family suite of 2 rooms which has an en suite, as well as backpacker accommodation in the form of a 6-sleeper dorm which has use of 2 en-suite bathrooms, and separate toilet. The rooms are all centered around a lush and beautiful garden in a sheltered courtyard. All bedding and bath towels are supplied.

Guests have shared use of a communal fully equipped kitchen with tea, coffee and homemade rusks, a dining room, and a comfy lounge with DStv premium. Free and fast Wi-Fi internet access and secure off-street parking is provided.

Wood is available for sale, and ice is free. Our braai area and friendship table are made for socializing, and our resident braaimeester Geoff will even braai for you if you are feeling a little laid back.

The orchard garden is a delight with stunning mountain views and magical sunrises. We welcome groups and families, hikers, knights of the road and mountain bikers. McGregor Backpackers is pet friendly and will make your faithful companion most welcome, no sleeping on our beds though. We offer a shopping and shuttle service for hikers.

In doing our bit for the environment, we recycle, compost and harvest all the water that falls on our extensive roofs, We have solar geysers and even when the sun does not shine, there is always enough hot water.

We take the safety of our guests and their belongings very seriously and there is always someone on the premises to keep an eye on things and answer any concerns that a guest may have.

Lovely! Short and simple but it was exactly what I needed. I think to call it a backpackers is a little misleading, because it is very well-maintained...
