HI Mid Cape is a very peaceful place to stay. Make sure you take the directions with you, it is easy to find if you have directions. It really is also useful to have transport, even if only a bicycle, as the nearest shop is 25 minutes walk away. There is a beach within walking distance, but it is not the greatest of sunbathing beaches on the Cape, although the sunsets are supposed to be spectacular.
The cabins are very basic, four sets of bunk beds in the majority. The cleanliness is not bad, but the concrete floor could have done with a good sweep! The toilets/showers are in the main building, which is fine when the weather is good, but not too pleasant in rain! There seems to be a lack of keys available for the dorms, which combined with no lockers could make security an issue.
The main building has a large kitchen/seating area, with plenty of refrigerated storage. We could find no evidence of a breakfast bar with cook your own waffles etc, but there is tea/coffee/soda available at a small charge. There is a selection of books and games available to use.
The toilets and showers are basic but clean. Unfortunately, the showers don't go above luke warm! The staff are friendly enough, but most seem quite shy.
The atmosphere is somewhat lacking and it's not a place for partiers. But all in all, if you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful, get away from it all break, this is a good place to go.
