Zoete Inval Travellers Lodge

Zoete Inval Traveller's Lodge (4 star rated by the South African Grading Council) is an owner operated facility with a 'home from home' atmosphere, situated in the beautiful coastal town of Hermanus. (If you are self-driving from Cape Town, be sure to take the coastal route through Gordon's Bay, Betty's Bay and Kleinmond).

Hermanus is best known as the 'home of the best land-based whale watching in the world' but it has far more to offer. From July thru December, Southern Right Whales can be seen incredibly close to shore. No need for binocs, just join a guided walk along the cliff paths that stretch from the harbour on the west to the pristine sandy beaches on the east. The mountain backdrop to town provides established hiking trails as well as a mountain top drive for a panoramic view of Walker Bay. The town provides excellent shopping, restaurants & pubs.

This backpacker's hostel / guesthouse is conveniently located 10 minutes walk from the central business district or seaside and 5 minutes walk from the mountain hikes.
Accommodation ranges from family rooms and ensuite doubles to basic dormitories. Amenities include: 2 TV lounges, chatroom, fireside library, balconies, sundeck and Jaccuzzi spa, shady courtyard & water feature, self-catering kitchen with BBQ facilities and herb garden as well as security fenced as well as remote controlled gated parking for your peace of mind. There is a comfy place for everyone - even CARS!!!.
