Self-Catering Rooms

Rooms include a kitchenette with a fridge, oven, and microwave. Options range from mixed dorms to private double rooms and cottages, some with ocean views. Rooms have comfortable beds and are cleaned daily. The rondavels across the river offer a more secluded stay.

Onsite Restaurant and Bar

The restaurant serves affordable breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Special diet menus are available, and guests can order wine or champagne. On Sunday nights, dinner is free. There's also a bar and a coffee house on site. Packed lunches can be arranged.

Surf, Hikes, and Games

Guests can take surf lessons with instructors like Dave and Alex, or join guided hikes to the Hole in the Wall (a 15-minute walk from the First Group hotel). Other activities include billiards, evening entertainment, live music, board games, and water sports. A garden, BBQ facilities, and an outdoor fireplace are available.

Near Beach, Rural Setting

The hostel is 700 meters from Coffee Bay Beach. The area is very rural with potholed roads and wandering cattle. The nearest petrol station is far. A shuttle from Mthatha costs 160 rands (1.5-hour drive). Mthatha Airport is 99 km away.

Shuttle, Childcare, Security

Services include a 24-hour front desk, airport shuttle (pickup and drop-off), daily housekeeping, laundry, and babysitting. The hostel offers luggage storage, a tour desk, and safety deposit boxes. Security features CCTV, fire extinguishers, and key access. Family rooms and non-smoking rooms are available.

“Coffee Shack Adventure Backpackers cultivates a remarkably welcoming atmosphere, evident in its friendly staff and a community spirit that draws guests in, whether they seek surf or simply a moment of tranquility. Its secluded setting, embraced by nature and mere steps from the ocean, offers a genuine escape, underscored by the palpable value for those exploring the Transkei.”
