Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Both Belinda and Theonis went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. Great location with beautiful view and the hotel is closer to the Hole in the wall. The food was tasty and they made sure our dietary requirements are met.

    Location. It is located just opposite the beach, making a solo traveller feel even more safe.

    Staff were super friendly and helpful. Laid back and relaxing atmosphere. Lots of activities organized by the hostel. I did a great walk to the hole in the wall.

    Amazing hostel. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and funny. The dorm is spacious, clean and has comfortable beds. Activities are cheap and amazing. The food is tasty and very affordable. This is the perfect type of hostel for solo travellers to meet other travellers of every age and background. You can reach the place by taking a bus like citiliner or intercape to Mthatha, Coffee Shack will pick you up with their shuttle (160 rands for a 1.5 hour drive).

    Lovely backpackers, the staff were very sweet and helpful. The hostel area was clean and taken care of. Very tasty and affordable food. We stayed on the other side of the river which made it more difficult to get to the main area ( especially at night) because of the tide but just remember a torch and to walk carefully. During and after big thunderstorms there was no electricity or network for quite a while, so make sure to have everything charged.

    We got accomodation in a Rondavel. Never slept so good. Car parking was safe in a secured aerea with 24 hours security. Staff took care about taking our shoes in during the night. Food is good and you get value for money. Nice backpacker atmosphere. Breathtaking sandy beach and scenery.
