I've been here several times, I just went back because I love this place so much. My night rest wasn't very good, but that's my own fault. This backpackers is always bizzy and there's always something going on there. You meet cool people there and the staff is also chilled to hang out with. They welcome you very warmly and... More

A few of my girlfriends and I decided to stay here for a weekend when we needed a break from school. We had an absolutely amazing time. The staff was incredible an extremely friendly and we quickly became friends with many of the people who worked there. Right when we got there we were given a tour and told the... More

The place is practicly ON the beach! Once we got there we got a tour of the place by a great employee, and there were lots of young people there. We instantly felt the nackpackers vibe! I stayed here twice, and both times had the private bathroom rooms. Once room number 7 upstairs with a huge balcony! And second time... More

My husband and I spent two nights in Island Vibe and despite being about 10 years older than all of the other guests enjoyed it! It's great value and the rooms and communal areas are really clean. You can rent surfboards and wetsuits and the bar and food served for dinner is good value. The staff are friendly and helpful... More

Very cool vibe from the staff and the other backpackers. Met a lot of people from all over the world and the views were just out of this world. We also hired surfboards and hit the local surf, prices were very good as well. I would def go back there and is in an awesome location, close to the beach!

Island Vibe Backpackers in Jeffrey’s Bay was greatly recommended to me and I shall pass it on! It is a wonderful place to spend a few weeks if you love the beach, surfing, socializing and just enjoying life. The hostel is located just a few minutes walk to the beach. It supposed to be one of the best places for... More

I spent a week at Island Vibe Jbay and I had a great time there. The hostel is located right on the beach. You fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake up to sunrises over the ocean. I felt very safe in this hostel and the staff is friendly and always willing to help. It's easy to meet... More

Island vibe One of the best backpackers I’ve seen. In a few words: awesome spot, friendly staff, delicious food, good parties, nice travelers. 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

Great place if ur part of the uber-cool backpacker scene or if you just want to chill as a couple with your lady. If u are travelling as a couple stay in the private rooms. They're separate, close to the beach and away from late night noise at the bar. Great overall service and staff really friendly. Better accommodation than... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights in Dec, and I wish I could've stayed longer! I was in a room with an ensuite in the beach house which pretty decent and clean. Fantastic location, loved being able to wake up to the beach right outside my window! Apparently the beach is unsafe at night, but there was always... More
