Property Description

Comfortable and relaxed, Ubuntu overlooks the world-class surf spots of J-Bay, offering free WIFI ,and is a 1 minute walk to the shell-rich beach. We have stunning views of the ocean and the surf, and all local amenities are within a 5 minute walk.

The house is spacious, with two decks overlooking the sea, two lounges, pool table and a large garden to lounge in. Each room is uniquely decorated, and the dorm room has its own bathroom. There are three other tastefully designed bathrooms available. Travellers have described our place as more of a big home than a hostel and we pride ourselves on that our guests arrive as visitors, and leave as friends!

Looking after our beautiful environment is vital and Ubuntu Backpackers also offers its own Community Outreach program working with the underprivileged children of the area. We have recently begun facilitating volunteers who wish to do a little more than just travel, and want to help make a difference on their journey.

If you would like a relaxed, beautiful coastal experience, come and stay.

Pros: - Many common areas to socialize. - Clean and friendly staff. Cons: - It is located quite far from main beach (around 35min walk). - No door in the dorm I stayed. - No sockets to charge things in upper bed. - Beds are even smaller than normal hostel beds.

Ubuntu was alright. Not too much people, but it was low season. Two minor remarks: 1) the staff starts working around 6 h in the morning with music next to our room: not ideal, 2) would be cool if we could get beers after 8 pm.
