Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Great location, clean, safe and excellent communication from the host. The daily check-ups from Ryan really made our stay even more special. We felt like we were home away from home and extremely safe.

    The property has a great location, which is central between Umhlanga Rocks and Gateway. Legacy Yard is right on your doorstep, early coffee and halal food. The building is new, modern and safe.

    Great location, loved watching the boats come into the harbour. The most comfortable bed ever😊. Quiet, safe area, good access to the beach promenade for walks and runs.
