Facilities for the price are very good. There is a separate building for groups or families that is really nice. Walking distance to restaurants and cafes is a plus also.

The greeting and reception we received on arrival. The standard and size of our room and bathroom - everything we needed was available to us. The location - only a 10 minute walk into the centre of town. Cross-section of ages. The whole set-up of the place.

This is a great backpackers lodge run by very nice and friendly people who do their best to make you feel at home. This is a no-frills place, but they have all the basics covered - the facilities are squeky clean, the beds are comfy and the common areas have a great vibe. It is perfectly located within walking distance of all Hermanus highlights. All in all, Hermanus backpackers offers tremendous value for your buck.
