Monkey Bay Mafia Island + Volunteers

Quircky with soul had a wonderful time staff and mike go out of their ways to make your stay an exellant one, with surrounding forest life, trees, monkies, mongoose, and franklin just makes you feel you still in nature even though you not. Thanks again for everything

My daughter & I held our own personal camp at the Afro Tented Unit. Monkeybay is perfectly located. The sound of the sea while we fell asleep, was so peaceful. The wind blowing our tent , it’s n experience that I’m willing to relive when the rest of my friends head to the coast these holidays. Our host, Lifa, was absolutely welcoming n entertaining 😄

Monkey Bay Backpackers is the best place to go to if you're planning on having a very laid back vacation. The vibe there is so cheerful and carefree, it is the holiday anyone dreams about. The staff are all so friendly and helpful in every aspect and they always make sure that everything is up to standard when it comes to your room and your experience staying there. You could either camp, dorm or stay in a room for two. Bathrooms and showers are provided outside of most of the rooms, but are very private and are very clean. It is self-catering and there is a central kitchen which provides a fridge, stove, dining table, cutlery and crockery as well as all the spices and garnishing under the sun. There are many places within the property where you can "hangout" and braai for the day/night. Monkey Bay Backpackers is definitely a place I am returning to in the future.

By far the best place to stay in Ballito! Super friendly and helpful staff and a lot of other laid-back people to hang out with. Especially loved the green campsite and the well equipped communal kitchen.

Awesome Vibe 👍🏼 Great Cheap Accommodation sheets could do with a change and a fridge wasn’t working in my room but would still recommend

This backpackers is awesome! Real chill vibe. A walk away from the beach. Its clean and the staff are friendly and very helpful.

I had an incredible time there. Mike, Andrew and Lifa made me feel exceptionally welcome. Loved my time there 😍♥️😊

We had an amazing stay at the Monkey Bay Backpackers lodge. The staff were friendly and helpful and were definitely the best part of the stay. The rooms are clean, comfortable and have a great feel. The kitchen is well stocked for self catering and the vibe is friendly and relaxed. Can't wait for our next visit.
