George Hotel & Zululand Backpackers is the only backpacker option in town, and what it lacks in luxury it makes up for in fun and Zulu decor. The bar is the most happening thing in Eshowe at night and the owners run an eco-adventure company that can assist you with fulfilling their list of "101 Things to do in Eshowe." At the time of research, remodeling was underway in the backpackers to hopefully give it the TLC it's been desperate for. For those who want an upgrade from the backpackers but still want to be close to the action, the George Hotel is by the same owner and on the same premises. It has basic, clean, en suite rooms in a historic 1906 Eshowe building.
