Traveller reviews

“Very pleasant and wholesome experience.”
10 Aug 2025
My stay at green elephant backpackers was a truly memorable one. From the minute I walked in to the facility I felt the care and attention to detail from the staff members I encountered. The space was very clean and pleasant. The staff were all very friendly and approachable people, and the room super comfortable. The bed was so comfortable. I truly felt at home. The location is also very convenient, close to most of the amenities one needs, and with the bus and the train station at a walking distance away. It's also very close to Lower main rd which has many venues, Capetown art and culture and night life to explore. One also feels so safe and secure not only in the backpackers itself but also in the community which was a breadth of fresh air as a South African woman. I highly recommend Green elephant if you are open to staying in a calm community and willing to meet interesting new people on your time in the mother city.

The property was spacious and had different zones allowing for more a spread and not too many people cramped into one spot
