Experience Ashanti Gardens Guesthouses
– Comfort and Style in the Heart of Cape Town!
If you love the friendly vibe, social atmosphere, and insider tips of a backpackers’ lodge but prefer a little more privacy and pampering, Ashanti Guesthouses are the perfect choice. Enjoy your own en-suite bathroom, unlimited Wi-Fi, and a tea/coffee station in your room — all just a short stroll from the action.
Located only 2 minutes’ walk from Ashanti Lodge Backpackers Gardens, the guesthouses occupy two beautifully restored Victorian buildings. Choose from double (some king-size), twin, and triple en-suite rooms, or our special family room with a double bed and two singles (kids under 3 stay free, 3–16 pay 50%).
Each house features its own communal kitchen — perfect if you’re too tired from exploring Cape Town to head down to Kloof Street for dinner. Wrap-around balconies offer a scenic spot to plan your next day’s adventures!
And when it comes to breakfast, it’s just around the corner at Ashanti Backpackers — the perfect start to a day full of Cape Town fun. 🌞
