JIKELEZA LODGE is an International Backpackers Hostel and NEXT DOOR GUEST LODGE is similar. You'll find both the hostels safe clean and comfortable offering a true African experience and South African hospitality. They are designed by travellers for travellers to meet in a home away from home atmosphere. The hostels have a reputation for making you feel welcome and are enthusiastically run by the owners and their manager. The old buildings with all the gleaming wood and warm, atmospheric charm are a stones throw or a quick stomp away from inexpensive and traditional African restaurants, night spots, jazz clubs, pubs, post office, banks, antique shops, 24 hour grocery shopping and flea markets. The owners are fanatical about cleanliness and all the staff are friendly and go out of their way to help you.
