Ashanti Backpackers is one of the best backpackers in Cape Town


Lying at the foot of Table Mountain, this gorgeous Afro-Victorian mansion invites you soak up some rays on the sundeck while you check out Table Mountain in all her glory. Then head to the swimming pool for a splash, or to the Kumasi Bar (which shows all major sporting events on a mega-big screen TV) for a healthy, scrumptious all-you-can-eat breakfast (at a price to suit your pocket), lunch, pizza or snack. Alternatively test drive their zooty kitchen and then whip down to the internet café to tell mum all about it. You get an hour of free wi-fi every day so doing that is as easy as the (A)shanti vibe.
If you believe that life's too short to be anything but indulgent, head over to the divine guest houses next door and spoil yourself. Here you can enjoy free, unlimited wi-fi, and DSTV in each room.
Ashanti also have a second lodge in Green Point, so stay there too, and check out another part of Cape Town.
