Hard Rock Backpackers offers guests a wide variety of accommodation and price options. Situated a stone's throw (less than 150m) away from Magnatubes (the perfect surf launching spot for Boneyards and Point Beach), and a mere 900m from Supertubes (the home of the annual ASP Billabong Pro Series), Hard Rock Backpackers is in the perfect location for both surfers, party animals and holiday-makers alike.
Hard Rock Backpackers, nestled in the heart of Jeffreys Bay in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, is truly a backpackers with a difference!
Just a stone's throw away from the closest beach (Boneyards is a mere 150m away) and situated in Wavecrest, one of the safest areas in Jeffreys Bay (or J Bay as the locals affectionately call it), Hard Rock Backpackers offer comfortable, safe, yet affordable up market accommodation to all visitors. With a Rock 'n Roll theme, friendly staff and a great vibe, you're bound to experience J Bay like never before!
Considering Jeffreys Bay's unique location in the heart of the Eastern Cape - wildlife viewing is an absolute must!!! With so many options to choose from - whether you're interested in a day trip, or would like to spend a few nights at some of the most authentic game parks... you'll be absolutely amazed by the vast variety of animals you'll see!
There are 2 townships in Jeffreys Bay, Tokyo Sexwale and Ocean View - both of them considerably smaller than the average township in our major cities. Although lacking in size in comparison, neither lack in diversity or culture, and spending an afternoon in the company of one of our tour guides, gives you an insight into the lives of the people that live there.
Experience guided horseback riding tours with the team from Pappiesfontein twice daily along the 13km circular route. Their trail takes about 2 hours to complete, leading through beautiful fynbos coastal vegetation, towards the Gamtoos River with breathtaking views from the dunes and finally returning along a 6km stretch of deserted beach.
Jeffreys Bay is by definition, South Africa's surf capital, and thanks to our unique weather, we can literally boast awesome waves all-year-round! From the obvious - being the home of the annual ASP Billabong Pro Series venue, to Holllywood gracing our shores in search of the 'perfect wave' while filming the iconic surf movie, Endless Summer, J-Bay always lives up to it's promise of awesome surfing!
