After staying at the Island Vibe in Port Elizabeth, I decided to try the one in J Bay and it was wonderful. The hostel is literally on the dunes and reaching the beach is just a matter of walking down them and through a gate. The staff was lovely and very helpful and with the language school down the road... More

It supposed to be one of the best places for... More

The dorms are functional and fine, the private rooms very beautiful with beach view. They provide some interesting activities, like township tours, game park, sand boarding and surfing. But the most beautiful part of the hostel is... More
