Gardens Backpacker Accommodation Options
DOUBLE EN-SUITE
This is the only double en-suite room we have at Ashanti Gardens Backpackers. The room is very quiet because it is the only room located in the front garden, so you will have a good night rest and you will wake up with a beautiful view of the garden. You have your own bathroom, a double bed and a television.
DOUBLE AND TWINS
Most of these rooms are around our swimming pool – perfect for an early morning wake up dip. All rooms have their own basins and there are sufficient nearby bathrooms for your use. A double is equipped with a double bed and a twin room has two single beds. Boring we know, but necessary information for some! These are known as our standard double or twin rooms.
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.
