Monkey Bay Backpackers

 
 

Description

Monkey Bay Backpackers is now regarded as the closest accommodation to the King Shaka International Airport, with a short 18 km drive. This has made Ballito a favourite stopover for all those arriving to and departing from South Africa. Ballito boasts clean beaches, a safe environment and an abundance in relaxation time.

So if you wish to follow the surfing greats and take on some of the best waves on the East Coast, Ballito has it all. Ballito is also home to the Mr Price Surf Pro International, where big names from around the world come to compete - why not carve your mark on Ballitos surf.

Monkey Bay Backpackers makes it possible to rent surfboards, so all our guests can stand up and say I surfed Ballito. We also offer lessons, so first-timers are sure to be bitten by the surfing bug. Take your lessons further on your travels and try other surf spots on your trip - make this a fun-filled holiday adventure.

Ballito is quite central and offers a wide range of activities for the city slicker shopper, to the sun worshipers on the beach. Try the culture zone, where visits can be made to traditional working communities called Kraals - follow a day in the life of a traditional Zulu community. We are close to all your specialist sports and recreations such as scuba diving, shark diving, sky diving, microlighting and kite surfing.

Very laid back and clean
Julie Botha, South Africa
30 January 2012
Being of the slightly 'older generation', 40-somethings, we never felt out of place - anything goes, everyone greets and chats to you. The ambiance is relaxed, you are made to feel welcome immediately and the place is clean and each accommodation type is private enough, if you want it to be. The outside showers are a novelty and you are steps away from the beach and the best restaurant in Ballito right now, MozAmBik - where there is awesome food and and an owner who is proud to chat to ... more
