Welcome to Amakaya Backpackers & Apartments, your ‘home away from home’. We cater for the traditional type ‘backpacking’ experience and also offer our nearby Backpacker Apartments as a ‘private’ option.

Amakaya Backpackers
A clean, friendly and homely place where you can relax after an exhilarating day in the area. We have hot showers (electric and gas), relaxed atmosphere, comfortable beds and free wi-fi on offer. Sip on a drink at our upstairs bar while you relax on the veranda and take in the view of the Tsitsikamma Mountains, the lagoon and the sea.

We are a 300m walk to the shops, restaurants and bars of Plettenberg Bay’s Main Street and 800m from the popular Central Beach (beware of the steep uphill walk back that will certainly build up an appetite!).

We have a range of double and twin private rooms and 2 sleeper private dorms. For those who do not mind sharing we have a selection of standard and en-suite dorms that sleep 4, 8 and 12 guests respectively.

All guests have the use of our fully-equipped kitchen facilities, free tea & coffee, free wi-fi, a sitting room to read or watch TV/DVDs and an upstairs bar with outside veranda. Parking is on the premises and is accessed by an electric gate.
