Come and stay at one of the biggest hostels in Cape Town where we do everything right. All the way from the designer African decor that starts at the front door to our staff who are very friendly and know what they are talking about.
The hostel is one of a kind with a magnificent wooden sundeck and panoramic views of Table Mountain and a nice pool where you can float on your back and check out the mountain upside down. The Kumasi Cafe is just the place to go if you get hungry where you can choose from a quick pizza, decadent waffle or another wet something with which to adorn yourself. And if the pool, the perfect setting and the soothing tunes wafting across from Kumasi all get too much for you, head for the bean bag balcony in the front garden and chill out to the slow scrunch of 1000 polystyrene balls.
If you’re looking for a slick, comfortable place to stay with lots of buzz and plenty of playground material – don’t delay head this way! And that’s not all – Ashanti is also a great option if you want to make any travel arrangements. We offer a wide range of African Adventure Tours for the Budget -minded independent traveler specializing in Southern Africa and Overland Truck Safaris.
As agents for numerous tour operators and adventure companies, we provide impartial and practical advice and endeavor to offer the best service possible to ensure you enjoy our continent to the fullest! Besides overland trips we specialize in day trips, car hire, bus bookings, plane tickets, adventure activities connecting trips, link ups and more.

How to get to us once you are in Cape Town!
When driving from the airport or coming from the Garden Route, just continue along the N2 towards Cape Town city centre.
Please make sure you follow directions to Cape Town as we have had newcomers go in the wrong direction. Continue on the N2 for about 10 minutes and as you come up to the mountain keep right and continue towards the city - following the signs.
Take the De Waal Drive turn-off to the left when the road forks and continue driving around the mountain.
Just off De Waal Drive you need to take the Mill St turn-off. This will take you past a large shopping centre (Gardens Centre) on your left hand side and then you drive through two sets of traffic lights. The next road left (after the second set of lights at Upper Orange Street) is Hof St. It is just before the Mount Nelson hotel, so if you see that you know you have gone too far.
We are two blocks up on the left hand side – a large yellow building. REMEMBER: If you arrive at the airport or bus station between 8.30am and 4pm we offer a pick-up service (subject to availability). It is not a "meet-and-greet" service but all you have to do is call us on 021 423 8721 when you arrive and we will send our driver out to collect you. If you are arriving outside of those hours, then let us know your flight details and we will arrange for the Backpacker Bus to collect you (costs vary).
