Deco Lodge

Deco Lodge

The Deco Lodge definitely stands out in the area, as it is painted purple. The Lodge is a hostel with a capacity of 34, so our group of 25 took up most of it. The rooms were a little crowded, which slept five and barely had room for our luggage closed, much less open all at the same time in the morning. Having a small room did not really matter in the end, as there was a large common area with a pool table and a porch with a salt-water swimming pool outside to hang out.

During our stay, we ate breakfast and most dinners at the Lodge prepared by them. Breakfast was mostly the same every morning, with parfaits, crepes (pancakes in South Africa), and toast. One morning we also had muffins as something we could take away because the morning before someone had not been able to eat breakfast due to the shower line. Dinners varied from fish to meatloaf. They were also very accommodating for the vegetarians and vegan in our group. There was always a vegetarian alternative, and in the morning, they substituted soymilk for the yogurt in the parfait for the vegan.

The neighborhood the Deco Lodge is located in is a little sketchy, but you were definitely safe in the Lodge, as it was surrounded by a wall and you needed a code for the gate. We were only allowed to go as far as the corner store and the KFC. Even at the corner store we were constantly asked to participate in black market currency exchange, but overall, we felt safe.

Friendly, warm, relaxed. These are just few key words that apply to Deco Lodge in the suburb of (upper) Woodstock. The four star hostel is located in a renovated Art Deco.
To my opinion Deco Lodge totally deserves the four stars: spacious dorms, internet facilities, safe parking, professional staff, a great garden (where one can camp)and a swimming pool!
