This is one of Cape Town’s slickest backpackers, with much of the action focused on the lively bar and deck that overlook Table Mountain. The beautiful old house, decorated with a tasteful collection of contemporary art, holds the dorms and rooms with shared bathrooms; there's also a lawn where you can camp.
Excellent self-catering en-suite rooms are in two separate heritage-listed houses around the corner. There's also another branch in Green Point.
