The Southernmost Backpackers in Africa.... Getting there. 1st stop in Struisbaai on your right. Africa's southernmost Backpackers
Explore the well-kept secret of Africa’s southernmost backpackers, where two oceans meet and the longest unbroken white sandy beach in the southern hemisphere lies awaiting discovery. Where you can watch the sun rise over the Indian Ocean, and set over the Atlantic Ocean overlooking the latest shipwreck. Just 400m from 14kms of white sand, warm Indian Ocean, whale watching, kite boarding beach heaven (it’s so good they’ve even started a kite school for beginners), you can hang out in hammocks, sunbathe at the pool and chill out in the tranquil garden. Let your energetic hosts add bounce to your stay with feeding stingrays in the harbour, wave jumping on their boat, horse riding or visiting a whale nursery. Too tame? Head down to the Way Down Africa Adventure Centre and get 5% off some activity booked with them. Visit sea caves or ask about their trips to secret destinations and swimming where the two oceans meet. Actually, that’s just 7kms away so grab a bike and cycle there! End your day with a stroll (try all 14kms!) along the beach, then head back to the bar for a yummy nosh. Enjoy braais on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Later slip beneath your goose down duvet and dream your southernmost dream...
