Hi, this hostel was in a lovely location and very pretty views. However, it seemed like the reception and bar staff were high on drugs all day and night, they were very disorganized and seemed confused most of the time.

Our second time back to Jungle Monkey. We came to Port St Johns for the 3 day trance festival at Amapondo Backpackers, but preferred to be able to dip in and out as needed. It was a great idea. Jungle Monkey is very laid back. The crowd is definitely on the older side. Great musicians took to the stage during our stay, and you get up and jam if you felt so inclined. Great pizzas. The Monkey View room is just spectacular - outside shower with a view over the hills and up the valley.
