Highly recommended! Great location, and as a woman I always felt very safe! The hostel was very clean, (cleaning came every day) Whenever I had questions, I could always contact Chris and he replied quickly. He was very helpful and welcoming. I will definitely come back♥️

This was the first hostel i ever went to and it set the bar way too high for other hostels. I stayed here for a total of 7 Weeks and when i went to different hostels i learned, where this hostel really shines. The furniture is solid and of good quality. The whole place feels finished and cared after and it is. The kitchen is spacy and so are the bathrooms. The dorms are not big, but there is enough storage and even some cupboards. Perfect for Kite- and wavesurfers, Great for anyone else🤙🏻

I had such an amazing stay at this surf hostel in Cape Town! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by the warm and friendly atmosphere. The company was fantastic — it was so easy to meet like-minded travelers, share stories, and enjoy the laid-back surf lifestyle together. The vibe was truly special: relaxed, positive, and full of good energy. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well organized, which made it easy to fully unwind after long days in the water. The service was excellen...

Hostel zum Wohlfühlen, sehr nette Leute und top Lage. Die Gemeinschafsküche, Bad, etc. waren immer sauber geputzt. Das Hostel ist ungefähr eine halbe Stunde mit dem Uber von der Innenstadt entfernt. Ich würde wieder kommen.

I had a really great, although unfortunately too short, stay at the surf hostel. The atmosphere is super relaxed, and everyone was incredibly friendly. One evening, we all got together for a “braai” (an African BBQ), which was a great way to connect with the other guests. On another day, we played cards and just enjoyed the laid-back vibe. The hostel is about a 5–10 minute walk from the beach, where you get a stunning view of Table Mountain. I will definitely come back. :)

It’s been the best hostel I’ve stayed at during my whole trip through Africa, it’s clean, beautiful, and located in a safe and lovely area. The view of Table Mountain is the best, and even though it’s not right in the city center, it’s absolutely worth it. Huge thanks to Chris and Manie for the amazing stay! Surf Hostel feels like one big family.

J'ai passé en tout plus de 1 mois dans cet Hostel. On s'y sent comme à la maison, Chris et sa femme organisent des braai très fréquemment pour tout le monde et les gens de passages ici ont toujours été de très belles rencontres.
