Muizenberg Backpackers was created to be a hub for budget-conscious travelers seeking a laid-back, community vibe. Situated just a stone’s throw from the iconic Surfers Corner, we offer the ultimate Cape Town coastal experience. Our mission is to foster friendships across cultures, inspire adventure, and make every guest feel like family from the moment they arrive. We believe travel should be joyful, full of laughter, and rich with unforgettable moments.
Our focus is on providing a clean, safe, and comfortable space that encourages guests to explore the local area and connect with one another. Whether you’re here for the world-renowned surf, the breathtaking mountain trails, or simply to soak up the unique atmosphere of Muizenberg, we’re the perfect base for your adventure.
The guesthouse is locally managed through the MUi STAYS team, offering the highest level of hospitality in the area.
MUi STAYS provides responsible property and hospitality management services in the area and has been operating in many forms since 2003 when the original Whale Watchers was founded. It now boasts more than 60 beds under management.
The company is also actively involved in local social projects and upliftment programs. Be sure to chat to us when you are next down to find out what is happening, and possibly how you can help.
