Bomvu Backpackers

i stayed at bomvu in november and chilled for five days! me and my mates got some mushrooms from the locals and some weed and had the best time ever! you can go just across the street to the coffee shack and mingle there if you want. good times -- wish I was there now!

This place is amazing. It's my best memory of South Africa. The people are very friendly.

This place is the best memory I have from South Africa! It has an amazing staff, great food and a beautiful beach nearby. Don't miss it!

My husband and I stayed at Bomvu for two weeks in December. It was the most relaxing holiday ever!! We are definitely going back this year!

This was a great place to stay, with great entertainment and beaches. Staff were approachable – I met a few co-travelers, too. This is a place worth visiting for three to four days!!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a week last year. It's a wonderful place, although the staff can be a bit clique-y sometimes. We didn't feel wholly welcomed except by Travis, who taught us how to make drums. My drum is still on my wall; it travelled all the way through Africa and around the world with me and will always remind me of the great times spent drumming around the fire with Jess and Mark. It was our tent's first resting place and one to remember.

I stayed at Bomvu for about four days. It is a special place I have never quite found anywhere else in the world. The people are friendly, helpful, and just so cool. Thanx Bomvu, I will always remember you.

What a place!! From Silas' drum sessions, to the Bomvu Boyz Choir and Steve's surf lessons, this is an ultra cool hostel. It has a real genuine African flavour and you can tell the staff work with the local community to promote a prosperous society. Definitely worth a few days chilling. The outdoor kitchen is a bit lacking, but they serve some incredible local cuisine in the restaurant which is worth the few Rand it costs.

Amazing place... speechless, as i sit at home in the UK after spending last christmas at Bomvu. Best Christmas I'll ever have. Reguards to all of you - especially Helma! xxx

I spent only one night there but it sure is one of the best of my 3 months trip in South Africa! Steve the surf teacher is so... If you come to France, Steve, I'd willingly welcome you...
