The best part about this place is the gardens! The value was really good, we stayed in the dorm beds here and shared with one other group in a small dorm-style cabin (that coul have been good for one family group) we had a small kitchen, bathroom and braii area and a lovely deck. The location of Nelspruit is close... More

The Old Vic is the perfect place for a budget conscious traveler. I stayed for 8 nights in a private room (thanks for the free upgrade to include a bathroom). The grounds are gorgeous with a pool and wonderful views of the surrounding nature reserve. Dave and Bella do their best to make you feel at home and have tons... More

Nelspruit's Old Vic Travellers Inn is located at the very limit of the town. Behind the backpackers there's a rugged hill and a stream. The quietness of the place offers to relax and spend some time sipping one of South Africa's beers. Dave and Bella are very cheerful, friendly and helpful hosts. If I ever come back to Nelspruit, I... More

I'm leaving Old Vic today after a 7 days stay here. I must say that Old Vic is the best hostel that I have ever stayed at in my life. Dave who runs the show here is the best and hospitable host around. He took us all over the town and bent over backwards to show our group a good... More

The Old Vic is a travelers dream. Dave (the owner) has an honest gift of showing hospitality to others. I've travelled heavily for the past 8 years and I have never had a more gracious host at a hostel. He bent over backwards to get everyone I stayed with tickets to the African Cup game in town and arranged travel... More

Dave, Thanks for the friendship, I feel as if I was at a family home. Great Room, quiet, air conditioned with TV and a great price. We stayed in a self catering double room with own bathroom and kitchen. We will definately be back sometime this year.

I had an awesome stay at Old Vic's! The environment is so relaxing with the pool and nature reserve, and the hill behind is fun to climb. Crazy Dave is so great and did a lot to make us feel at home and help us get around Nelspruit. I'd highly recommend for anyone to stay there.

We were on our way to Johannesburgh and it was a public holiday that weekend, so options where to stay were pretty rare. When we wanted to check in, a girl called Happiness was showing us the facilities. She wasn't happy at all, very unfriendly but yet still helpful.
