Liked: The location is great, very close to the beach - excellent; the stuff is very friendly and helpful

Disliked: It's a shame that they don't make more out of that property, Interior and area looks a bit used/ old. A bit of renovation would help a lot.

Liked: Most awesome backpackers I stayed in during my time in South Africa. It's right on an awesome surf beach. Really fun bar every night. Food on offer each night is really good. Definitely make as much time to stay here - J Bay and this hostel are worth as much time as you can spare!!!
