Backpacking

Backpacking through the area is an easy and affordable way to experience all the best spots in the Garden Route. And while it remains popular with younger travellers on a budget, backpackers’ hostels have evolved from dormitory-styled accommodation with shared ablution facilities to establishments that also offer private rooms with en suite bathrooms. This makes the backpackers’ lodges in Knysna ideal for the student on a backpacking holiday, as well as guests looking for a more relaxed atmosphere. Surfers will feel right at home in the backpackers near the beaches, while many options are available in the towns of Sedgefield and Knysna.
