About African Heart Backpackers

African Heart Backpackers Logo

This Cape Town Backpackers Lodge offers afro-chic accommodation at affordable rates that include FREE internet access and a FREE breakfast! Located in the funky Observatory with a great selection of bars and restaurants all within walking distance, 'OBZ' is a cultural centre of Cape Town with many creative's choosing to live in its bohemian atmosphere under the gaze of Table Mountain, and a short journey into the city centre is easily done by car, train, bus or minibus taxi.

The Lodge is run by a team of experienced traveller's and we are focussed on superior service in a relaxed, friendly environment that hopes to be your perfect start to your travels throughout this amazing part of the world.

African Heart is a backpackers lodge with a difference.
Set in a historical Victorian building, previously used as a Holistic Health Care Centre (building up lots of good energy;), we have revived the original wooden floors, archways and high ceilings with our own blend of contemporary Afro-Chic design. Vibrant colours, retro furniture, original artworks, spotless modern bathrooms and ultra-comfy beds.

We are a small lodge offering a high quality standard of backpackers accommodation and facilities. We also offer superior guest service from our Reception, taking care of anything you need, from booking adventures and onward travels, to where to find the best local music, entertainment and food.
