Amakaya Backpackers Travellers Accommodation

The property manager who's name was Debbie treated us terribly. She had bad attitude which was very shocking for a person in hospitality industry. I'm from KZN and often travel to Plett but due to Debbie attitude I will never stay in Amakaya Backpakers ever again.

The place was very underwhelmed and a disappointment. Although it is centrally located, the establishment, especially the main building area was just not up to scratch. We lived upstairs and had to use the shower downstairs which was also used many other guests. The fact that there was no generator put us off, because we had to wait for 2 hours of loadshedding to get our clothes ironed and that made us late. The furniture can be changed because it is old and the so-called lounge area looked pathetic. My overall stay was not that great, glad we only stayed there for one night.

Hospitality was top notch. Room and area super clean. Staff was friendly. Receptionist went out of her way to make people feel at home and even went out of her way to pick me up and drop me off at the bus stop

We had a wonderfull stay at Amakaya backpackers and we do recommend it to everybody. The rooms and kitchen were clean and everything you need is there. We want to say thanks to Debbie. She is the best host we have had in sa. She made us feel very welcome. If whe had questions or a problem she was right there to help us. She even cooked our food when the weather did not allow us to bbq.

Amakaya Backpackers is highly recommended by myself and as well as by my friend Justin. We both go to Plettenberg Bay every year and we only stay at Amakaya Backbackers!!! I rate them a good, solid 10/10!! Location: Very good and very easy to find Rooms: Very comfortable and clean! Service: 12/10!!! Debbi Roth is a brilliant manager and ambassador for Amakaya. She is warm and friendly, super helpful and goes the extra mile to help you should any problems arise. Debbi is a great credit to Amakaya and she will make your stay a fantastic one!!! P.S. This is my own personal experiences from staying at Amakaya, over a number of years. My opinions is my own, I have been very honest, I have not been paid and or given anything in return for my views. I have not been asked to give Amakaya good and or bad reviews what so ever. My review is honest and based on all my experiences held at Amakaya Backpackers Brett Lawrence

This place felt like home far away. From the beach and outdoors to the relaxing vibe of the house, it all was worth it. Initially had a travelling buddy, but the solo experience was definitely something for the books. Thanks a lot to Debbie who’s been amazing since day one - any issue you had, she would fix it. Thank you! See you soon x

This was a pre season cricket tour which we used as a team building exercise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Debbie was a fantastic host. We could not ask for better. I will recommend this establishment to anyone coming to Plett.

Thank you for being a "home" when it was much needed. Thank you to Debbie for her care and kindness. Thank you for a relaxing atmosphere during the stay. Everything is neat and clean and in working condition. The location is perfect and close to everything you need and more!

I had the privilege of meeting Debbie. Truly never so welcomed and had the best experience staying at Amakaya with Debbie just adding that additional special touch. I arrived at Amakaya without notice inquiring for a one night stay before my drive to Jhb and I was assisted instantly, received a private room and information on anything I would need. Debbie knows the area extremely well and helped with any questions I had. Would definitely recommend.
