Sun City and Pilanesberg National Park
Backpackers accommodation near Sun City and Pilanesberg National Park

We have finally managed to get a house just outside Manyane in Mogwase township; just 3km's from the gate.
This is after actively hunting for it nearly 3 years! There is a small pool & BBQ area and we have moved in.


We will set it up to be a guest lodge, should be fully operational sometime in 2008, with 5 en suites
and a family flat.
Though it will mainly be used for our clients on tour it is currently available to backpackers.
The public are most welcome, but please keep in mind it is real basic. All facilities are shared. Currently we
have 1 bathroom with shower, bath and toilet, 1 seperate toilet, and another half bathroom with a bath and basin.
Note that we have disclosed what we have, and if you are a South African wanting 3/5 star accommodation
at our rates, then think again. Rather go book at the Lodges for R2000/room/n or the Resorts at R1000/room/n.
It's really simple. Pilanesberg and Sun City is expensive, and we are not....you absolutely get what you pay for!
Also please do not make the mistake of comparing quality of our establishment with others in SA - it is a different market.
Rates per night: currently all shared facilities & self catering: 1 double, 1 x 4 bed dorm & 1 dorm sleeping 8
(No camping)
- single or double weekend & peak dates  - minimum 2 night stay.
Rates till further notice (9/2007): Dorms @ R150/p, Singles @ R300/p, Doubles @ R400/room
The whole house can currently be rented for R2000/day, with 1 staff member staying on site.
Payment in full upfront to confirm reservation - no booking is confirmed till paid!
Phone 012 343 9351 alt 343 7499 to book, the waiting list for telephones in Mogwase is 5 years; or mail.


1 Night bookings accepted for weekends & peak if still available 48 hours before arrival
