long walk or a short taxi ride from the core of downtown, but the Motherland remains a
backpacker favourite for its professional service, cleanliness, well-proportioned rooms,

other pluses.

The nine rooms in this homey guesthouse are large, spotless and well endowed
with everything that would make your granny smile. The outdoor terrace, with tree

Staff are very friendly and helpful and it is located on a block that is especially quiet at
night, so you should be able to sleep undisturbed.
