Venture-ready vibes meet budget-friendly practicality just steps from Green Point’s beaches and city sights, with a tour desk on hand to map out local adventures. The setting blends a casual surf-town feel with social spaces—sun deck, terrace, garden—and a bar where travelers swap stories after a day in the sun.
An outdoor pool offers a refreshing break in any season, with a clear note: adults-only for a quieter splash. For payment, cash is not accepted; Visa and Mastercard are the supported methods.
A wide range of accommodations awaits, from private doubles (with or without a private bathroom) to small doubles and twin rooms, to dormitories and family configurations. Dorms come in 6-, 8-, and 11-bed layouts, including an 8-bed option that’s female-only; family rooms with bathrooms and a suite round out the lineup, making it easy to pick a setup that fits solo travelers, couples, families, or groups.
