(as quiet as you would like it to be) coastal village
of Struisbaai, 400m from the famous 14 km unbroken beach
in the Southern Hemisphere. This stretch of warm Indian

strolls while watching whales and dolphins at play.

nice little hotel with backpackers character and is

town centre. We have en-suite doubles, self catering
units, double rooms, family rooms and dorms. All the
rooms walk out from a veranda onto the tranquil garden
with hammocks and a quiet place to chill out. We supply
you of fresh linen (goose down duvets and feather pillows)
and towels. We do laundry too, so don’t worry
about a dirty load in your backpack, we will sort that
out for you in no time.
CAB has a vibrant bar and braai area where you can
enjoy a traditional bbq and listen to fellow guests
and their travels. Stefan the barman will entertain
you with real overberg hospitality, a couple of jokes
and lots of information that will make your stay worthwhile.

massage therapist will make sure you have all the information
you need and will see to it that you have an unforgettable
