Summary:

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 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!

Hard Rock Backpackers is conveniently situated close to Magnatubes, Boneyards and of course Supertubes - home of the annual Billabong ASP Pro Series and internationally known as Africa's Surf Capital, as well as one of the official best surfing spots in the world. We're also situated incredibly close to retail supermarkets, many restaurants and coffee shops, surfing shops, pubs, tattoo parlours, doctors, pharmacies and liquor stores.

Jeffreys Bay has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with Main Beach being one of the few beaches in South Africa that has been awarded the coveted Blue Flag Award!

Visitors from all over the world flock to J Bay to experience our awesome waves, unique hospitality and of course, everything that the Eastern Cape has to offer. From elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffe and zebras (to name but a few specimens from the locally available trails and game farms), to the world's highest bungy, canopy zipline tours, sand boarding, kite-surfing, sky diving... everything an adrenaline junkie would need to keep themselves entertained while on holiday!

Situated on the Indian Ocean coastline, we're surrounded by miles and miles of African bushveld, forests, reserves and shell-filled beaches that offer daily views of dolphins riding the waves... sometimes even riding them with the surfers, and from July to November the migrating Southern Right Whales visit our shorelines and entertain us on a daily basis with their antics... our sunrises are truly a sight to behold!
