Description
Our country venue and small bohemian backpackers is located on a hill in the beautiful Manley Flats valley just 20 km from Grahamstown, the cultural Mecca of South Africa. Eco-art using glass bottles and various other materials is the characteristic feature of our venue and backpackers. A game farm and other farming lands surround us and on our farm, we keep a group of zebras and some buck. The grassland with acacia, aloe and euphorbia slopes down to dense riverside thickets. Wild animals living here are small buck, bush pigs, jackals, caracals, genet cats, porcupines, baboons, small monkeys, huge land tortoises, iguanas and a vast variety of birds ranging from the African fish eagle to minute sunbirds.
The architecture of the many historical forts of Frontier Country inspired the main structures of Yellow Piano Inn and Burg Lengeling Backpackers. We used contemporary materials to create the venue and the cottages and eco-artworks made from glass bottles became a feature throughout. The buildings are on top of a small hill allowing stunning views of nature and sky in all directions. The cottages are each furnished in different themes: romantic, chaste, afro-kitsch and colonial. We offer any meals and have a licensed bar, but guest are welcome to use the self-catering kitchen.
To be found halfway between Cape Town and Durban Yellow Piano Inn and Burg Lengeling Backpackers is just right to stop over or to stay on for a few days and conveniently explore the nature, wildlife and culture of Frontier Country, Addo Area and Sunshine Coast.
Check-In 01:00 PM Check-Out 11:00 AM
