Rocky Road Backpackers

Rocky Road Backpackers is set on a five-hectare smallholding amidst indigenous forest and open grazing pastures located in The Crags, approximately 20 km east of Plettenberg Bay. It serves as the gateway between the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces of the country and is ideally situated to provide accommodation for travelers. The establishment is 15 minutes away from the world's highest bungee jump at Bloukrans Bridge and a mere 10-minute drive down a spectacular mountain pass from the unspoiled Natures Valley Beach in the Tsitsikamma National Park.

Rocky Road Backpackers is far from the daily bustle of urban living. From its well-maintained gardens, it offers spectacular views of the Tsitsikamma Mountain Range as well as Peak Formosa, the highest peak in the range. The adjoining three-hectare forest has an easy trail to view streams, a waterfall, and a rock pool. The in-house adventure center, Rocky's Adventures, assists guests in making the most of the nearby ocean, scenic sandy beaches, rugged mountains, river gorges, estuaries, and numerous varied wildlife attractions.

The accommodation options range from fully equipped double or twin Luxury Tents overlooking the indigenous forest to Cottages, timber cabins, and hostel-style Dormitories. Guests are also welcome to pitch their own tents in the attractive garden. There are two large entertainment areas with numerous fireplaces, braai pits, a well-stocked lively bar, and hot tub splash pool facilities, which are great areas for mingling with fellow travelers. An indoor big screen TV area is available for special events, while a separate office area provides Internet access and free Wi-Fi.

Shuttle services to all local activities and places of interest between Storms River and Plettenberg Bay are available, as are regular runs to Nature's Valley. A twin room with a bathroom and shower next door, as well as a small sitting area in front of the room, is also offered.
