About

Buccaneers is definitely one of the best backpackers in South Africa thanks to the hard work and incredible generosity and spirit of the Price family.

Set on a hillside in the wild coastal forest, Buccaneers has exceptional sea and lagoon views and a stunning unspoilt beach right on its doorstep.

An inspiring creative energy flows through the place with brave strokes of creative genius apparent everywhere. Their secluded, rustic beach cottages, each housing 2-3 doubles, offer excellent value for money.

Trail through coastal forests to a wonderful shell beach or take a 15km stroll along unspoilt coastline. Get into a game of volleyball, try the climbing wall and swimming pool or the Longtable pub that provides the perfect setting for legendary revelries and gob-smacking nosh.

Sound too good to be true? It almost is. So don't miss it.

I was only here one night while driving the garden route, and what a mistake. I should have shifted things around to stay longer! This property was stunning with INCREDIBLE views. Also, the staff were so lovely. I went in off season, and booked for a dorm for 1 night. Upon arrival the woman working the front desk said, "ehh, it's just 4 males in the dorm right now. I'm just going to upgrade you for the night to your own room." My room was STUNNING with glass sliding doors out onto a porch that overlooked t
