Long Street Backpackers

Description:

Bars, restaurants, cigar bars, lounges and much more is walking distance for hipsters and 'jollers' (South African slang for 'party people'). Established in 1993, this backpackers' lodge has a large courtyard ideal for braais (barbecues) and sun worshippers. Tours, adventure trips and car hire can be arranged here, and Internet and satellite TV are available. Check out the great bar and cool atmosphere at Long Street Backpackers.
