You can engage in various activities, such as golfing and diving. Village Square is 1 km from Hermanus Backpackers & Budget Accommodation, while Hamilton Russel Vineyards is 3.6 km away. The nearest airport is Cape Town International Airport, 77 km from Hermanus Backpackers & Budget Accommodation.

The hostel has a great location and heaters in winter. Kitchen is very clean as are bathrooms. Wifi is really Good and the hostel has a lot of places to relax and chill out. I waited 6 hours for the bus here and it flew by. Lights handed out for load shedding and wifi still works. I upgraded to a private room because I was sick and needed some rest so the fridge in room was a massive bonus and the bed is very comfortable and not saggy. Close to shops and shoreline walk. Check out market on Saturday!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Years ago, I found a fantastic place in Dublin which I gave strong recommendations. Now it is that well known, I can never get in there!! And I think its going to be the same with Hermanus Backpackers. So being selfish, I wouldn't recommend this hostel.. GO AND FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE, SO THAT I CAN STAY HERE AGAIN LOL.

    It was the best hostel I've ever booked. Amazing showers and toilets. Super clean and modern. Little kitchenette in the room with kettle, glasses, plates etc. Great location as it is super central. Very close to the ocean and cliff trail. The little breakfast was ok, cereal toast and Marmelade.
