Amapondo Backpackers
Overlooking the rugged Wild Coast and wetlands, is Amapondo Backpackers… The ultimate budget travel destination to truly experience South Africa at its finest! Nestled amongst tropical rainforest with views of Second Beach, it is hard not to call Amapondo paradise.

Amapondo Backpackers is within driving distance (5km) of Port St. Johns, but far away enough to inspire true relaxation. Awake to the sounds of vervet monkeys playing on the roof… let the symphonies of rain frogs and crickets lull you to sleep. We provide the atmosphere and vibe… Mama Africa provides the rest!!!

Bomvu Backpackers
Bomvu paradise offers the ultimate african experience with the xhosa culture at its doorstep. The backpackers borders the Bomvu river along which the Bomvana tribe lives with their traditional dress and beadwork. From the wooden deck one overlooks the Bomvu Bay (beach) and Sugarloaf mountain.

Our tropical garden with 26 indiginous trees, hammocks straddled between and a multitude of birds is a magnificent place to enjoy a true holiday feeling. When ready to explore beyond the gate; horseriding or hiking to various coastal, untouched destinations (e.g. Hole in the Wall) is a must. Desolate beaches to laze in the sun, throw a line and do somefishing. Daytrips by 4x4, surftrips with free1 hour surf lesson and lots more.

Buccaneers Backpackers Lodge
Buccaneers has been described as being like a backpackers village because of the way it's spread out over the 8 hct of wild coastal forest right next to the stunning Chintsa beach. Most people say that it's a place to come home to, a legend in it's own time. For us it is home and for the past 12 years we have been sharing it with people just like you - travellers from all over the world.
We like to think that at this stage we know what you want. These are some of the things we have learnt:
Travellers come in all shapes and ages.

There's a lovely lively bar which has certainly seen some great revelry in its time. Our stunning tropical pool is a buzzy spot in the summer months when a gorgeous poolside cafe offers decidedly decadent refreshments (including divine pizzas!). And every day we have some sort of free activity so you can chill and meet the rest of the gang.
And for you, the quieter ones, Buccaneers is a haven of tranquility and natural delights - quiet beach walks or canoe trips up ther Chintsa river and a secret bird hide on our own dam
