Hippo Backpackers in the centre of PE

Homely and hearty, the Hippo is located in a central area of town within easy reach of trendy restaurants and pubs. Recharge your batteries with a wallow in the hippo-sized swimming pool then bask in the tranquil sunny atmosphere. With fires roaring and a braai on the go, share a few sundowners with friends while you plan your next Hippo tour.
