We dropped by Cristal Cove in J Bay for one evening on our way to Chintsa from Cape Town. We paid 500 rand and got a perfect, family style apartment. We loved the place, the bar area was great too. Next time im in J Bay I will stay here for sure

We booked here as Island Vibe backpackers was full - no this is not ON the beach, and does not have the same backpackers vibe, BUT for the cheap price - this was luxury. The view was still on the sea, and the apartment was really nice with comfortable beds, kitchen, living room and nice bathroom and balcony. Lovely staff...

This is a little gem situated just a short walk away from a beautiful beach. As it is located on the Baz bus route I expected your standard basic backpackers place but this was so much more. We stayed in a spotless double ensuite room with a shared kitchen and living room area for a bargain R300.
The atmosphere is...

The staff are amazing, really relaxed and friendly. We stayed in a large double room in a two bedroom apartment which was clean and functional. The beach is only a few steps away and the supermarket is just around the corner. They also have lots of BBQs. It is also super close to the surf beach.
In 2010, I was at Cristal Cove for the first time. Planned to stay two nights, ended up staying nearly a week. It‘s beautifully situated with the beach in the backyard, shops & restaurants within walking distance.
The guesthouse is family-run and you can definitely feel that personal touch. The Yosh family and their staff are very welcoming, super friendly...

This is the second time we have been fortunate enough to stay here and it just gets better. This is without a doubt the best place we have ever stayed. Gary, Cristal and Dave (the family who run it) are the most friendly and lovely people you will meet. Its like staying with your cool Aunt and Uncle. The rooms...

We stayed one night in a double room in this hostel. This hostel is a blast! The staff is very helpful and nice, the rooms are huge, clean and nicely decorated.The ensuite bathroom was great and also clean. Futhermore we also got an own kitchen and living room which we had to share with only another double room. The kitchen...

A nice backpakers, close to the best surfing beach in the Cape (apparently) but a little way out of town centre. We shared a kitchen with just one other room. Decent bar (Grand Prix) and shops nearby. Could have been better if there were towels in the room and less mould in the shower. But cheap - so can't complain
Awesome place to stay close to everything, great small town with all the services and plenty of things to do! Only stayed for two nights, which just doesn't cut it; have to get back! :D
