THE best hostel I've ever been in...no joke. This place was absolutely fantastic and should raise the bar for all other hostels. Love the outdoor facilities...patio, bar, pool, garden! Beautiful! And the staff were incredibly knowledgeable about activities and booking tours. Well done!

This place is, hands down, the best hostel in all of Cape Town -- maybe even Africa.

This was about as good as a backpackers hostel gets. The staff worked hard to make sure it all works and the room was clean and well appointed. Security is a big problem in S Africa and we felt that we and our property were well secured.
