Welcome to our hostel
Located at the foot of Table Mountain, Ashanti Backpackers is your gateway to Cape Town. Well-known for our superb facilities, outstanding service and excellent security - Ashanti is the fun, friendly, effortless way to discover the Cape ... and more!
Within walking distance of the city centre and close to Cape Town's magnificent beaches, we cater for all accommodation needs from camping and backpacker dorms to budget private rooms at the Backpackers or en-suite rooms in our Guesthouses around the corner.
Kloof Street and Long Street are worth checking out if restaurants, bars or shopping is on the agenda. Whilst those wishing to experience the area’s natural beauty can explore Lions Head, Table Mountain or Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
We've refurbished our gorgeous historic Victorian mansion so as well as clean, comfortable rooms you'll also find a number of handy innovations like individual reading lights, personal safes, lockers, free Wi-Fi, and international plug charging points. The communal bathrooms boast amazing showers!
Chill out next to our sparkling pool, in our landscaped gardens or on any of our spacious balconies and palm-fringed sundecks. Pool side and garden BBQ facilities are available!
Our Kumasi Café and bar offers budget friendly meals, drink specials and good vibes.
The dedicated Travel Centre staff will help you plan your next adventure; whether it’s overland, under water or beyond the border. From cross-country safaris to day tours, including hiring cars and booking accommodation, Ashanti Lodge will ensure you get the best from your trip, no matter where you’re going in Southern Africa.
