Backpackers and Adventure Centre in the Heart of the Garden Route, South Africa

Fairy Knowe Backpackers and Adventure Centre is nestled under the trees alongside the Wilderness National Park, with easy access to the Touw River Estuary. Many of the best hiking, cycling and bird watching trails can be accessed from the backpackers within minutes. Its an ideal base providing easy access to Wilderness town centre within 20 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by car.

Multiple private and en-suite room options, dormitory beds for the budget-travelers / larger groups and camping grounds for the star-gazers are all available. Braai facilities, a warm fire-pit and a lively bar are frequently attended along with regular live music, a Sunday market, games evenings and a jungle gym for the kids. Multiple adventures can be booked directly at reception such as kayaking, horse-riding, hiking, paragliding and much more.

Our Facilities

Fairy Knowe Backpackers has spacious grounds with lawns to play football, a big veggie garden - all surrounded by indigenous forest. The rooms are located away from the entertainment areas so you can have fun while others can get much needed sleep.
