Hey Backpackers, wanna walk away from your holiday in Cape Town South Africa knowing you touched the stuff of legends? Look no further than Carnival Court Backpackers. With Carnival Court's double balcony, vast hardwood floors and statuesque looks, this old girl is the real Queen Bee of Long Street. 

‘Zanzi-Bar’ alone is enough to tickle anyone’s fancy. 

Rub shoulders with the jazz world (when they’re not jamming of course), dance your socks off to the latest DJ or shoot the breeze with the barman. 

On the weekend, treat yourself to their infamous ‘jam jars’ and enjoy the party. But be warned: the morning after a night out with their crew isn’t always pretty. Re-boot with a proper Capetonian ‘babalas’ recovery by grabbing a slab of raw meat and joining their Sunday braai. Complete the cure by sleeping it off in one of their cosy, gorgeously restored rooms. 

In the morning, venture out and you’ll quickly discover you won’t have to go far, as Carnival Court lies in the thick of Cape Town's action. Less venture, more adventure, that’s their motto! With everything at your fingertips and so many museums, shops, restaurants, (hell, even a Turkish Bath) nearby, even their staff struggles to keep up. Which is saying something as the Carnival Court staff know their stuff and can book adventures to Cape Town, infinity, and beyond...

That’s if, of course, you can leave those pesky jam-jars behind...
