1 Bedroom Hostel in Nelson Mandela Bay, Redhouse
Welcome to Riverfront Backpackers! Our accommodation offers an environmentally friendly location, with two dormitories and 2 private guest rooms, a shared kitchen, bathrooms, and common areas for all guests to use during their stay. We are right on the river, so you can enjoy the calming sounds of the water and sunrise from the front veranda, a classic South African braai, or go for a swim on hot summer days. Just 19 km from central Port Elizabeth, you can easily stop into town or go to the beach and are well connected to other cities along the Garden Route and Wild Coast. We are also only 45km from Addo and other Game Parks. The river is a tidal salt water estuary, showcasing abundant birds and walking trails.
We aim to give travelers a chance to volunteer and give back to our local community, making unique memories during their stay. Our founder, Mark, a backpacker himself with a heart for service, has fostered relationships in the area and has connections to local service leaders in need of extra help. Upon arrival, talk to Mark about helping in the nearby Motherwell Township, they have an incredible up and coming recycling center and soup kitchen for children that can always use an extra hand.
