Two minutes walk to the District Six Museum, 5 minutes walk to The Cape town Castle . Both the Assembly and Chevelle Night Clubs are within 1 minutes stroll from the lodge

With the Cape Town University of Technology up the Road the area is a buz with students who will show you to the nearby Student haunts such as Mercury lounge (live music venue)and The Shack , which is a great meeting venue

For those more discerning visitors The Harley Davidson Club of Cape Town is a stones throw away

Within the Lodge we have a licensed pub serving meals and pool tables at R2.00 a game

Bring you hired car along as we have 7 free parking bays which in the middle of Cape Town is unheard off

AMAZING!

Staff is super great, they take the time to make sure you're enjoying your trip and even help out with the booking of day tours (such as Safari, Wine Tours, Cheetah petting). There's a bar on the first level where very friendly locals often hang out, great opportunity for those wanting to get immersed in South African culture! Also very close to Long Street and V&A Waterfront (walking distance). You can't go wrong with the District 6 backpackers!
