THE BIG - Luxury Backpackers
Hotel-grade rooms, hostel prices, five minutes from the Waterfront
A newly renovated hostel in Green Point, five minutes' walk from the V&A Waterfront and Sea Point Promenade, combining hotel-level styling and daily housekeeping with hostel-style social spaces, a pool, braai area and free breakfast.
THE BIG rebuilt the standard backpacker formula around hotel-level finishes: every room is individually styled and serviced daily with clean towels and linen, a step up from the shared-dorm norm at this price point. It sits in Green Point, five minutes' walk from both the V&A Waterfront and Sea Point Promenade, close enough that neither needs transport. The property runs a pool, braai facilities and free WiFi alongside a free breakfast included in the rate, plus a tour desk and paid airport shuttle for logistics. An inverter keeps the lights and WiFi running through Cape Town's load shedding, a detail load-shedding-weary travellers will appreciate, and daily housekeeping means the rooms stay hotel-tidy for the length of the stay.
