About Us
There’s nothing quite like a backpackers hostel run by seasoned backpackers. Hayley and Braam have travelled over 40 000 km between them – backpacking all the way!
Hayley & Braam
They know just what makes the perfect backpackers and Hermanus Backpackers is just that – the most superb backpacking accommodation you’ll find in South Africa.
Hayley and Braam have made sure that everything you need is right there – a great pool and garden, fantastic and inexpensive meals, TV, Internet access, comfortable beds; AND they’ll organise your adventures – whether it’s a trip to the beach, diving with great white sharks, sailing trips, sandboarding, or kayaking alongside the whales.
All you have to do is get here – they’ll sort that out for you too if you like!
Hayley and Braam arrived in Hermanus 8 years ago for the weekend – and stayed. They decided that Hermanus, offering the best landbased whale watching in the world, needed a space for backpackers. Hermanus Backpackers was born!
They still put on their rucksacks and travel at least once a year. So watch out for them on your travels or come to Hermanus Backpackers and you’ll find them having fun making sure backpacker visitors have a good time too!
Barry, Tertius and Lela manage the Hermanus Backpackers. Willing, able.. AND wonderful… they’ll transport you to and from the Baz Bus or the beach; take you sandboarding or surfing; point you to the best spots for coffee or whale watching, make sure the bar is stocked, the pool clean, your linen fresh…. they’re cool, friendly and FUN!
