On December 7th 2007, 33 South Boutique Backpackers opened its doors for the first time. Situated in the heart of Cape Town, Observatory, is a truly "local and lekker," exciting place to be as it is well connected, and currently the place for students and local "Capetonians" to meet.

"Boutique Backpackers" is a new concept which describes 33 South's ideal: a trendy, themed, stylish, clean, comfortable (boutique) establishment which still maintains the key features of a great backpackers: it's homely, communal, affordable, safe and has a self catering option. We invite you to see Cape Town through local eyes, and experience it as a proud South African would.
