Description

Chill on the upstairs balcony and absorb the lifestyle of ‘Obs’. Soak up the sun in our Secret Garden and the Lair Café. Be entertained in our vibey 'old school pub' with unique features, eclectic décor and amazing music.

Relax in your favourite armchair, watch live sport and enjoy local dishes from our restaurant. Chat to other locals and travellers alike. On weekends you can indulge in our bring and braai from 12pm onwards, or a typical South African potjiekos.

We are here to look after your travel needs and do all that we can to ensure that you feel at home. We offer a welcoming free drink on arrival, friendly service, 24 hour security, Internet access, international calls, transport, tours, events and much more. Our rooms are comfortable and spacious. We look forward to meeting you, and making your African travel experience memorable.

It was a really exciting place to stay
Hendrik Niemann, South Africa
03 May 2010
This place is really for the young at heart with the pub downstairs and a couple of clubs down the road. Not advised for those with a car there is no parking but transport will never be a problem there is always a taxi outside or you can catch the bus
