Chilling in Coffee Bay
It was an early start and it would take all day to travel from Port Elizabeth to Coffee Bay. Port Elizabeth marks the end of the Garden Route and the Western Cape. While Cape Town and the Garden Route were undeniable beautiful, I felt there was superficiality about it perhaps because it's the whitest and richest part of South Africa. Amazingly …

Again we were lucky the hostel is so good and social cause our afternoon was spent there.Also sundays is free dinner...yay! so we had a beef stew with rice and some more yummy Xhosa bread. Evening was spent smoking and chilling with friends....doesnt get much better than that.

A toss of the dice
This is a top pick!
... Shack is vibrant, happy people, great place, music, food, fun and games and a fire blazing every night.
Tonight a group of 8 boys came singing and dancing, just looking at their faces as they sang, watching them move to nothing but their voices was a real pleasure. Last night there was live music at the Bomvu, drums, sometimes joined by guitar, fascinating to watch the hands moving faster than the eye can ...
Kill the bastards
This is a top pick!
... You come to Africa having heard horrendous stories of people bitten by scorpions, snakes, monkeys and god knows what, but ticks, has anyone heard a chilling, heroic tale of being bitten by a tick?
Can anybody tell me what purpose ticks serve anyway? No? Then kill the *******s, all of them.

“ Good little spot ”
Reviewed Dec 16, 2012
This is a family run establishment with a good vibe and the bonus is it is quieter then the other backpackers in the area. So you can party at the others and then come home to sleep. The food was delicious and definitely worth the price. Staff goes out of their way to help you anyway they can. Place was clean and secure for being in Coffee Bay.
