Backpacking South Africa

Campers have both the view of the ocean as well as being ideally located in the garden close to all the amenities. No bedding or camping gear is provided. This is a firm favorite amongst backpackers who love the great outdoors and sleeping under the stars. Come pick your spot on our big lawn. 

Our awesome garden cabins which have a double bed and are not en suite offers a cheaper option for anyone wanting privacy and is on a budget. Each one offers excellent views of the ocean, and has their own little balcony overlooking Jeffreys Bay Main Beach. We also have an en suite twin room at Island Vibes main building for those who need a bit of comfort to go with their privacy.

Hostel accommodation that’s a class above the rest is also found here - at the foot of the dune, with a glorious panorama of the beach, sea and surf. Each en suite room of the beach house opens onto a balcony allowing the sight, sound and smell of the waves to be your first encounter of the day. The accommodation is all versatile in that they have a double bed and bunk bed, giving the option of twin, double, triple or 4 sleeper configurations.
