    Yes, there’s a shuttle service. It’s R100 per person, each way. Just let the backpackers know you’re arriving with the Bazbus, they’ll organize everything for you.

    Hi Andrea, thanks for your message. We don't have air conditioning, generally not needed as evenings are usually quite bearable even in summer. We have plenty of parking though. Kind regards, Hayley
