We offer accommodation to short- and long-term volunteers, backpackers, and travellers. We have 4 and 6 mixed bedrooms where you can get to know other people really close, a double room, and two Zanzibar huts, for those who want more intimacy.
This fully furnished hostel with all facilities will make your stay comfortable. Hot water, mosquito nets, fridge, lockers, volleyball field, bar, swimming pool, Wi-Fi. You can even watch movies or play cards in our great living room with a spacious terrace, where you can chat with other volunteers for hours while looking at the moon and stars. The best of all is that by staying with us you will be supporting the community of Newlands and its kids.
