What Guests Usually Tell Us On Check-Out

“I wish we’d stayed longer.”

It’s probably the sentence we hear most often.

Maybe it’s because Cape Town has so much to offer.

Maybe it’s because Green Point is such a convenient base.

Or maybe it’s because once you’ve found a place that’s comfortable, clean and easy, you don’t want to leave.

Cape Town weather this time of year has two moods:

Pouring rain…
or the most beautiful clear winter day you’ve ever seen.

And honestly?
Both are kind of great here.

One day you’re hiding out in a coffee shop, doing wine tastings, and coming back to braai night at The BIG.

The next day the sky clears and suddenly everyone’s hiking, heading to Saunders Rock for sunset, or booking a last-minute day trip.

That’s the fun part about winter in Cape Town:
you never really know what kind of day you’re going to get.

Luckily, our team always has a plan either way.

You booked a backpackers…
and accidentally ended up in one of the most luxurious hostels you’ve ever stayed in ;)

Fresh breakfast every morning.
Daily cleaning.
Fresh towels.
Beautifully designed spaces.
A team always ready to help you plan your next move.
Tours leaving almost daily.
Cozy corners when the weather turns.
And a hostel that somehow feels social and peaceful at the same time.

The BIG has never really been about “just a place to sleep.”

It’s about creating the kind of stay that makes people extend their flights, cancel their next booking, and immediately recommend us to everyone back home.

There’s a reason we’ve been rated Africa’s number one hostel.

And once you stay here, you’ll probably get it.
