Valley View Backpackers

Valley View Backpackers is a budget stay on De Lange Street in Graskop, under a kilometre from the village centre. It is a simple, no-fuss option for independent travellers doing the Panorama Route on a tight budget, and the wooden veranda looking over the Graskop valley is the place to be at the end of the day.

What to expect

The hostel pitches its rooms at a range of budgets, and the options include a deluxe double with its own bathroom. Expect hot showers, a landscaped garden and a tours desk that can help arrange activities in the area. Parking is behind a locked gate, and both parking and wifi are free.

Good to know

The hostel’s own website is thin and sends people to Hostelworld for current photos and booking, so that is the place to check room options. Graskop is the usual starting point for God’s Window, the Pinnacle and the Graskop Gorge Lift, all a short drive from here.
