Excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely venue. Accommodation was perfect for us and the garden provided a beautiful setting to relax. It is a very well-equipped venue, with welcoming, friendly hosts.

Hello Christo, It was a pleasure to host you both for the night. We hope your lovely wife enjoyed the rest of her 70th birthday. Hope to see you both in the future. Warm regards Dorothy and Geoff

Hallo Christo, Dit was 'n plesier om julle albei vir die nag te huisves. Ons hoop jou pragtige vrou het die res van haar 70ste verjaarsdag geniet. Hoop om julle albei in die toekoms te sien. Groete Dorothy en Geoff

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, very quiet and a level above what one might usually expect from a backpackers.

Hello Richard, thank you for your visit and very kind review. Geoff and I often think about changing the name as the 'backpacker' name often gives people the wrong impression of what we are. They have heard the horror stories. Those that come are wonderful, free-spirited and willing to give us a chance. We hope you will come and stay when you are in McGregor next. Warm regards Dorothy and Geoff

Hallo Richard, dankie vir jou besoek en baie vriendelike resensie. Ek en Geoff dink dikwels daaraan om die naam te verander aangesien die 'rugsakreisiger'-naam mense dikwels die verkeerde indruk gee van wat ons is. Hulle het die gruwelverhale gehoor. Die wat kom is wonderlik, vrymoedig en bereid om ons 'n kans te gee. Ons hoop jy sal kom en bly wanneer jy volgende in McGregor is. Groete Dorothy en Geoff

Very nice. The host didn't even know we were booked in. Poor! We had to go to a pub hoping someone would contact us. Luckily I saw a vehicle stop at the pub with an advertisement for the Backpackers and asked the person where and how we could check in. Then he didn't even know. He wanted us to pay and I had to prove I booked through the website. That's extremely poor!!!

Baie lekker. Die gasheer het nie eens geweet ons was by hom ingeboek nie. Swak! Ons moes na 'n pub gaan met die hoop iemand kontak ons. Gelukkig het ek 'n voertuig sien stop by die pub met 'n advertensie op van die Backpackers en die persoon gevra waar en hoe kan ons inboek. Toe weet hy nie eens. Hy wou ons laat betaal en ek moes bewys ek het deur die webtuiste geboek. Dis uiters swak!!!

Dear Wilmarie and Partner I am very sorry about the "swak" service, i.e. that I was unaware that you were booked in via LekkeSlaap, although in our diary there was a question mark. Very unfortunately, it was an error on my side; firstly, that I lost my wife in September 2024. She used to do the admin, and I am still trying to find my way around all these booking sites. I hope you do accept my apology for the inconvenience it caused. Kind regards Geoff @ McGregor Backpackers

Wonderful! Host very accommodating and helpful! Room with private bathroom was spacious, shared kitchen was very well equipped and everything 100% clean and tidy, lovely peaceful courtyard garden to relax.

Heerlik! Gasheer baie akkommoderend en behulpsaam! Kamer met eie badkamer was ruim, gesamentlike kombuis was baie goed toegerus en alles 100% skoon en netjies, lieflike rustige binnehoftuin om te ontspan.

Quiet, friendly, beautiful garden, great people. Everything was top notch. From the owners to the accommodation. Definitely more than a backpackers.

Rustig, vriendelik, mooi tuin, great mense. Alles was top notch. Van die eienaars tot die verblyf. Beslis meer as 'n backpackers.

Lovely and peaceful place. Dear owners. Place is neat and clean. Definitely recommend it! McGregor is a great town to recharge the batteries. Everything is about walking distance from the accommodation. Nice restaurants, beautiful church and so much to just breathe in and enjoy!

Heerlike en rustige plek. Dierbare eienaars. Plek is netjies en skoon. Beveel dit definitief aan! McGregor is 'n wonderlike dorpie om die battery te herlaai. Alles is omtrent stapafstand van die verblyf. Lekker restaurante, pragtige kerk en soveel om net in te asem en te geniet!

Hello Estelle, thank you for your kind review. We hope you will come again as one weekend is not enough to absorb everything Mcgregor has to offer. Blessed Christmas.

Hallo Estelle, dankie vir jou vriendelike resensie. Ons hoop jy sal weer kom, want een naweek is nie genoeg om alles wat Mcgregor bied te absorbeer nie. Geseënde Kersfees.

Hello Cris , thank you for this kind review. We were just sorry your stay was so short and we could not spend more time swopping adventure stories. We hope when you comeback to this area you will come and stay again. Regards, Dorothy and Geoff

Hallo Cris, dankie vir hierdie vriendelike resensie. Ons was net jammer jou verblyf was so kort en ons kon nie meer tyd spandeer om avontuurverhale om te ruil nie. Ons hoop wanneer jy terugkom na hierdie area sal jy weer kom bly. Groete, Dorothy en Geoff

Awesome night's rest after a long time on the road. Well equipped, friendly owners and great little spots in town to get some supper or just to have a drink!

Thank you for your kind review Carl. As bikers ourselves we know the value of a comfy bed and clean amenities when one arrives after a long time on the road and our motto is: "if it's not good enough for us, it's not good enough for our guests." Hurry back.

Dankie vir jou vriendelike resensie Carl. As fietsryers ken ons self die waarde van 'n gemaklike bed en skoon geriewe wanneer mens na 'n lang tyd op die pad aankom en ons leuse is: "as dit nie goed genoeg vir ons is nie, is dit nie goed genoeg vir ons gaste nie." Kom gou terug.
