You booked a backpackers…
and accidentally ended up in one of the most luxurious hostels you’ve ever stayed in ;)

Fresh breakfast every morning.
Daily cleaning.
Fresh towels.
Beautifully designed spaces.
A team always ready to help you plan your next move.
Tours leaving almost daily.
Cozy corners when the weather turns.
And a hostel that somehow feels social and peaceful at the same time.

The BIG has never really been about “just a place to sleep.”

It’s about creating the kind of stay that makes people extend their flights, cancel their next booking, and immediately recommend us to everyone back home.

There’s a reason we’ve been rated Africa’s number one hostel.

And once you stay here, you’ll probably get it.

We see it happen all the time.

Someone books 3 nights at The BIG.

Then suddenly they’re:
joining the braai,
booking a wine tour,
making weekend plans with new friends,
and asking reception if they can stay “just two more nights.”

Cape Town has that effect on people.

Especially in winter ;)

People think hostels are just about saving money.

But honestly?
The best part is the people.

The last-minute dinner plans.
The random road trips.
The “we’re all doing wine tasting tomorrow now” energy.

Cape Town becomes a very different city when you experience it with other travellers instead of alone in a hotel room.

And winter somehow makes it even better.

Why travellers actually love Cape Town in winter:
Less crowds.
Better restaurant bookings.
Cosier coffee shops.
Cheaper flights.
More spontaneous plans.

Cape Town winter has a way of slowing everything down just enough for you to actually enjoy the city properly.

And between the mountain views, wine farms, food spots, and weekly adventures, there’s still more than enough to do.

Especially when you’ve got a hostel full of people always keen for plans.

Rainy day in Cape Town itinerary:
Coffee first. Obviously.

Then maybe: a long breakfast, wandering through the Oranjezicht Market, wine tasting somewhere warm, a bookstore stop, an early dinner, and ending the night at Thursday braai night with people you met that same morning.

Thanks for the images , (best hot chocolate in Cape Town, btw...), of our favourite bookstore, the ! 📚

Cape Town winter isn’t about chasing perfect weather.

It’s about finding the good stuff anyway ;)

One of the best parts about staying at The BIG?

You don’t have to figure Cape Town out alone.

Wine farms?
We’ll help you book it.

Hikes?
We’ll point you in the right direction.

Garden Route trips?
Sorted.

Thursday braai nights?
Already happening.

Cape Town winter can actually be ridiculously fun when you know where to go and luckily, our team does.

All you really need to do is arrive!

Winter at The BIG feels less like "tourist mode" and more like actually experiencing the city.

Think fireplace wine bars, misty mountain mornings, slow coffee shop starts and warm meals shared with people you met three days ago and somehow already call friends.

Stay 4 nights, pay for 3 this winter!
Head to our website or WhatsApp us to book this special :)

Thanks for the 2nd slide – best TexMex, Tequila and fireplace in the Mothercity!
