Best Backpacker in Cape Town
The Ashanti Lodge is not to be compared with international backpackers. It pays its dues to the beautiful scenery of Cape Town and one cannot stress enough the lodge character rather than the type of accommodation as backpacker. From check-in to departure the service was friendly and the accommodation neat (not very spacious though) and value for money even if travelling with your partner. Among all the backpackers in Cape Town this is the one to book!
