This is the best backpackers I have stayed at in South Africa. The rooms are really clean and the facilities are great. The location is excellent as it is a 2 minute walk to the beach.The hosts are awesome and make you feel welcome at all times. I will definately be back there again.

I can't begin to describe how blown away I was by this place. From the moment we got there Dick and Tamara (owners) were nothing but friendly and helpful. Their knowledge of the area is top notch, everything from where to eat to who to talk to for the best surfing lessons in J-Bay. The rooms, bathrooms and showers were... More

This past new year myself and a group of friends decided that after an amazing first trip to Jeffreys Bay and an awesome stay at the Hard Rock Backpackers in 2010, why not go back, relive some great memories and start 2013 off in a place we all know too well! Hard Rock is far from the image one thinks... More

Not to mention the cleanliness and beautiful canvas art for all to admire. The owners are absolutely fantastic and a must to meet and have a couple of drinks with. I say to Dick... More

We where here last week and it was the worst place so far (and we are here for 2 month). I must say the place was extremely clean. but more like a (European) hospital. When you walk somewhere the cleaner comes behind you and cleans the floor. And don't even try to not wash everything directly when you're done using... More
