Fall in Love with Cape Town — One Epic Moment at a Time!
Cape Town isn’t just a destination — it’s an experience that stirs your soul. From the sun-soaked beaches of Clifton to the rugged beauty of Table Mountain and the colourful charm of Bo-Kaap, the city pulses with diversity, creativity, and raw natural wonder. Whether you're sipping world-class wine in the Winelands, catching a live jazz show in a secret city venue, exploring vibrant markets, or watching the sunset from Signal Hill, Cape Town invites you to dive into its rhythm. And when you stay at Ashanti, you're perfectly positioned to explore it all. Let the Mother City move you — every day, in every way.
Ashanti Has Evolved — And the Journey Continues…
After more than 30 incredible years of welcoming travellers from around the world, the legendary Ashanti Lodge Backpackers has officially closed its doors. But this is not the end of the Ashanti story — it’s an exciting new chapter.
Craig and Lisa are now pouring all their passion, experience, and hospitality expertise into making Ashanti Gardens Guesthouse one of the most comfortable, stylish, and welcoming stays in Cape Town.
