Overview

BazBus Stop - The friendliest small hostel, with great staff who enthusiastic about Cape Town and South Africa. Mountain hikes, sundowners, township tours with our own staff member and all the welcome you would expect in South Africa. Proudly South African.

Closest Backpackers to Groote Schuur Hospital and 5 minutes from the University of Cape Town. Planted firmly in Obs, surrounded by vibey bars, coffee shops and restaurants, Green Elephant will boost your green karma. Everything is recycled, from beer bottles to grey water. So you can have the best time, and save the planet doing it.

We would love to have you here.

From here you easily go to student pubs and restaurants, public transport, shops, movies, sports grounds and theatres. It is the liveliest student area in Cape Town.

We also prepare home cooked meals in our pizza oven, on our braai or the traditional Potjie and Skottel!
I can be certain that we will look after you better than you expected... but click on the booking link to join us.
