Hippo Backpackers in the centre of PE

Located in PE's trendy neighbourhood of Richmond Hill where the street-side cafés, restaurant and pubs are the plums in the pudding, this owner-run lodge offers homely and comfortable accommodation in a garden setting.
Settle in, then submerge yourself in the hippo-sized pool and practise your underwater lengths. When the day comes to an end, return to the surface to warm yourself alongside a roaring fire.
While your steak sizzles share a few sundowners at the water's edge or head for dry land in the pub and entertainment area.
Choose the next day's adventures from their smorgasbord of sandboarding, skydiving, whale watching, surfing, township touring or hugging a cub. Roaring to go? Try the Addo/Schotia 1 day safari, which includes transfers to and from the hostel to the parks, two guided game drives, all drinks, two meals, guaranteed lion sightings (yup) and your second night's accommodation.

The city centre, historical route and beach are all within easy reach.

Free internet. Free toast and tea for breakfast.
