A backpackers on Ansteys beach

Run by the friendly Palmboom family and staff, Ansteys is situated close to the city, a mere stone’s throw from the Bluff’s main beach and a short walk from the world famous Cave Rock break.
All the ingredients for a winning recipe are in place here, and a blissfully warm ocean, consistently good surf, protected beaches, interesting rock pools at low tide and a comfy bed to get back to after a day on the beach form just a part of it. Add a warm welcome, great atmosphere and accommodation to suit all budgets and it adds up to a groovy and laid-back holiday. It’s hardly surprising that guests often stay longer than they had intended, or come back time and again.

Perfect for both surfers and non-surfers. Anyone who loves the beach will love it here.
