This place is great if you are going to/coming from the airport. The rooms are nice and the living room and outdoor area is very friendly and welcoming. The lodge isn't located near any attractions so you will need a car to get anywhere. There is a restaurant, small store, and ATM a 5 minute walk away however.

This is a fantastic backpackers for those who are staying a few days in Jo'burg, but even better for those going to/from the airport and on safari. The airport is close & Patrick arranges affordable transport. If you are going to Kruger, you are often last to be picked up & first to be dropped off, which can save over... More

I stayed here during December 2009. They provide pick-up for a nominal cost. The dorms and the rooms are spacy, neat, clean and the service is good as well. The pool and the bar outside are a great advantage. The TV room and collection of movies does not let you get bored. Patrick the owner is very helpful. Recommend to... More

I stayed there for the last night in southern africa. This place was one of the best backpackers I've ever stayed! Patric was very nice. I booked for the dorm, but he upgraded the room so I could stay in a big room with two beds alone:) I was tired from my 2-week trip, so I was so happy to... More

We came to South Africa to do a safari and relax a bit while on our 1 yr. world tour. We stayed at Mbizi and loved it! Jo'burg isn't the most beautiful place, but Mbizi was like getting away for a bit and staying with a friend. Patrick, the owner was awesome! He had us picked up right from the... More

There's not much to do around this place, but very convienient because it has a gas station 2 min walk away with ATM and a huge supermarket about 15 min walk and its safe to walk over there. Patrick arranged a very affordable pick up from the airport, also helped me book and arrange a tour around Jo'burg, Kruger Park... More

Patrick takes you in as his own. Free wi-fi that is fast. Electric blankets on every bed. Very clean. A great backpackers lodge in JoBurg! Thanks for everything, Patrick! YOU ROCK! (yes, he really is a legend. find out why!) -Amy

The place is clean, Patrick the owner is helpful and arranges for your transaportation and any other plans you might need for your stay. The hostel is near the airport and is a 5 hour drive to Kruger National Park.

Hostel is nice and very clean. Good kitchen facility and fun bar. Owner offers safe and cheap pick-up from the airport, he also suggests day-tours. There's a gas station close by where you can buy snacks and drinks, inkl. ATM. A bigger mall is a 15 min (a bit weird) walk; but it was safe. Baz bus-stop worked well!
