She says having guests at Backyard Lodge has a lot to do with the Guguletu history. When people came to big cities like Cape Town in the old days those that stayed in the townships would build shacks and stay in someone's back yard and rent on monthly basis. Backyard Lodge has its roots from the times of apartheid.It is the culture of youth in Guguletu to stay in the backyard. When the youth becomes adults it is seldom that they would leave to rent or buy a house but they would reside at their parent's house's back yard until one gets married and moves out of his/her parent's house. Staying at the back yard means you are independent, matured and responsible.****** Come stay with us and get that 'joy'.******
