I stayed two weeks in Hout Bay Backpackers and it was a very pleasant stay. It is close to the beach and the harbour. And also shops and restaurants are in walking distance. Because of the very friendly staff and the people I shared the hostel with it felt like a home far from home.

It may sound ridiculous and over the top, but in all honesty my stay at Hout Bay Backpackers was heavenly. Yes, heavenly. If you're fed up with the endless hustle and bustle of Cape Town city (as I was), Hout Bay is the place to go, and Hout Bay Backpackers is the place to stay. Why? Well, to begin with,... More

The room was quiet, but allowed us access to the communal kitchen which we shared with... More
