The rooms are comfortable either as shared or private, with either shared or private ablution blocks, communal kitchens, travel desks and communal social areas.

Getting Around South Africa
The popular way for those travelling South Africa on a budget is by either renting a car from a reliable car rental company, or making use of the excellent long-haul bus services for example, the Greyhound. The Baz Bus is also a convenient and safe way to travel. The cities have hop on-and-off buses which are perfect for day trips.
Backpacker Meal Times
Backpackers have a communal kitchen which is available for guests to use, most offering well-equipped kitchens. Braai’ing (BBQ’ing) is a popular pastime when staying at Backpackers – great for socialising! Most Backpackers offer breakfast, with some even having an a la Carte menu, especially in the larger cities.
Travel Info
Backpackers usually have a travel desk whereby all local information can be obtained in the form of flyers, pamphlets, business cards etc. These will be safe travel options, information on the town/city, places to go and things to do. Some offer computers with internet, to keep in touch with home.
