Green Elephant

BazBus stop.
The Green Elephant - friendly, personal and experienced in travel - is in the student and academic area of Observatory.

Closest Hostel to Groote Schuur Hospital and near the University of Cape Town.

We consistently have the friendliest staff around to help you experience Cape Town the best way you can and make memories that will last a lifetime.

The facilities include 3 houses that cater to every kind of budget traveler, internet access, a tour desk, a fully functional bar, but most importantly a great friendly home to travelers since 1994.

We have single, double and en-suite rooms, five dorms and camping grounds. The dorms are SPACIOUS and social areas HUGE.

Being situated in the vibrant suburb of observatory means that just down the road there are pubs and restaurants that offer specials on various nights and you can find a wide range of food, from Mexican to Chinese. We also provide security escorts after dark for extra measure. We are also situated approximately 10 minutes from the city and cinemas, malls and sports grounds aren't far off either.

We also prepare home cooked meals in our pizza oven, on our braai or the traditional Potjie.

We would love to have you stay with us!
