Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Mt Hebron Nature Reserve is 27 km from the hostel and Kleinmond Golf Course is 34 km away. I really don't have much experience with hostels. They are usually extremely overcrowded and noisy so I avoid them. But this is not really a hostel. This is a hotel with shared bathrooms, and you can alsop rent a private bathroom for an extra fee. For the steal price you get a large room with two comfortable beds, fridge, cutlery, table and a hanging closet which is way more than I expected from a hostel. Parking is right outside the gate on the one-way street up from the gearing point.
