Description
During the pandemic the hostel had to be closed down by their Belgian-South African owners. In the meantime the business was handed over to the people of Elundini community with Sakumzi as the lovely host. However a lot of job needs to be done to bring the old vibe back. It is all about experiencing Xhosa culture and Xhosa art. Want to submerge yourself in a remote indigenous community, surrounded by nature .... this is the place to be.
