Our Backpackers is different. We offer a home from home, a small team will welcome you and take care of you, as well as help you make the most of your stay. We may even take you along to some best kept secrets, like the local distillery, hidden forest streams or tidal pools.

We offer braai packs, laundry service, breakfast options and much more.

You can also reach all the art galleries and our small museum easily by foot.

Customers reviews

The building is old and charming, the staff are very nice, familiar and helpful. We got breakfast in a beautiful old kitchen and the house is situated in a peaceful, calm, green area, walking distance to town.

We had a great stay with our group - the staff even cooked us a meal for our arrival night and showed us the town. We would recommend this place for a budget stay!
