First and foremost, this is actually a late posting by 2 years. I have always wanted to blog and review about the Zebra Crossing Lodge as it was the place I have stayed for 3 nights on my first visit to Cape Town. I have enjoyed the stay very much. Basically, I get to interact with many young foreign adventurer/tourist during my stay. You will not be able to experience such fun if you are staying in a standard hotel. The lodge are managed by two sweet ladies at that time, Ms Susan and Ms Stacey (I still hope that they are still in Zebra Crossing Lodge) and they have been a wonderful host for me such as arranging and planning tours around Cape Town. Too bad I did not have the chance for a picture with them.
Well, that's a past, but I have some great photos to shared with my friends and other future Cape Town tourists with hope that it will promote the lodge even more :D
That's the Zebra stripe gate greeting you...Nice and simple :D
On the left, and right, the main entrance with proper locking system
And a fruit tree at the garden, is that lemon tree or tangerine?
Nevertheless, let's get over first hall. A nice and cosy place whereby you can enjoy some novel reading or even play the piano.
and here's the 2nd hall whereby I still remembered that I sat here enjoying the FIFA Confederation Cup Match between Italy and USA in the year 2009.
And this was my cosy bedroom at an affordable cost (sorry that I have forgotten how much is the cost for this room though)
And if you're hungry, you can make yourself a meal at the kitchen or you can even order some food at the cafetaria.
And that's my bowl of flakes in the morning before my departure back to Pretoria. And I have been picked-up by another nice Indian ethnic guy (sorry dude, I have forgotten your name)
Overall I would like to give Zebra Crossing Lodge a rating 5/5, for it's affordability, great backpacker's experience, courteous host, cleanliness, amenities and facilities (Free WiFi provided) and great location.
I will DEFINITELY return to this lodge again in my next visit.
It is a highly recommended place for a budget traveler who loves to experience social communication with other travelers.
However, if you are expecting some luxurious experience or if you are a very private person, this place is not for you.
Cheers! and Dankie!
