The hostel staff are really helpful and caring. I am grateful to have stayed here as a solo female traveller. I felt so safe and happy here. The place is very well run, clean, comfortable, with spaces to relax, work, rest and play. And the location is fantastic. I highly recommend Jabulani!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
