What looks like a 5-star luxury hotel set amongst a jaw-dropping background of mountains is actually The Backpack hostel. Accommodations can fit up to 100 people across four Victorian houses, courtyards, and gardens. The stunning pool is surrounded by mosaic artwork, and guests can enjoy breakfast outside on the patio while taking in the views of Table Mountain.
