Outeniqua
Travel Lodge is well-loved for it's affordable (never cheap!) accommodation.
Clean, cosy and convivial it has become a well known meeting place for
independent travellers from all over the world.
The style
is like spotting your professor in his t-shirt. You will encounter professionalism
and taste where it matters, but in a very gentle and laid-back atmosphere.
Be
warned, they are unashamedly snobbish. They won't ask you for a lot of
money but will require a lot of attitude, values and intellect! Ignore
the grumpy owner (who is capable of faking a friendly smile now and again)
and rather mix with the adventurous young guests. |
| Of
course it is a huge risk to be the most affordable accommodation in George.
Instead of interesting (No! They do not find weed smoking drunks interesting),
adventurous, articulate, intelligent, civilized, well educated, responsible,
well read, eccentric, soft spoken, budget travellers that they try to attract
they might end up with the 'cheap-accommodation-seekers-squad' (people
throwing empty coke tins from their car windows).
Since
the focus in a travel lodge is on the communal areas (TV room, kitchen
and braai) where all the guests can meet, socialise and philosophise about
sophisticated topics the 'cheap-squad' will hopefully soon feel out of
touch. Outeniqua Travel Lodge is meant for people who are willing to lose
the chocolate on the bed and rather spend money on a bottle of quality
wine and happy laughter.
