BUDGET DOUBLE AND TWIN ROOMS
Most of these rooms are situated in the courtyard around the pool– perfect for an early morning wake up dip. The bathrooms are down the passage, but there are basins in the room for brushing of teeth and hair. A double room has a standard double bed and a twin room has two single beds… best suited for those not cuddling up at night😊. Great backpacker prices on these rooms to be part of the action.
SINGLES
The single rooms are exactly the same as our doubles and twins talked about before, yet you pay the single room rate for being alone in the room.
DORMITORIES
As with all Cape Town Backpacker hostels, the dorm is where it is at offering you the perfect opportunity to meet that travel companion for a hike up Table Mountain together. Some of our rooms sleep 6 and some sleep 8 and we also have female-only rooms for the girls!
CAMPING
For those of you who just love the outdoors and carry your home on your back, no need to come in as we have a small campsite just for you. Obviously, you can make use of all the lodge facilities but please bear in mind that it is just a small piece of ground and space is limited. No reservations for the campsite permitted – first come, first served.
