Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Everything! It is a gorgeous, modern, clean, and beautifully appointed guest house with fabulous views over Mosel Bay. Our room was very spacious with a large balcony facing the ocean. The common areas were welcoming and beautiful (I wish we had more time to spend there!). The breakfast was delicious. Parking was safe and convenient. Great location - it is a great base for exploring the area.
