A hostel with a story.

Born from a dream of shared space and creative community, Adamastor is more than a place to sleep – it’s a living story. Inspired by the mythical titan who once guarded the edge of the known world, our Adamastor has been reimagined as the gentle giant beneath the mountain — the protector of ocean, earth, and all who journey here. In the heart of Muizenberg’s iconic surf culture, we invite travellers, adventurers, and dreamers to connect, create, and find rest between the waves. Live wildly, rest deeply – and become part of the legend.

At Adamastor Backpackers, you’ll find everything you need for a safe, social, and comfortable stay. We offer separate male and female dorms, a total of 24 custom-designed bunk beds, secure lockable storage, and ample communal spaces to cook, work, relax, or share stories after a day in the surf. With a fully equipped communal kitchen, cozy lounges, social nooks, and a welcoming atmosphere built around community and creativity, Adamastor is a home base where you can meet new people, explore Muizenberg, and settle into the rhythm of coastal life.
