We stayed at "family" room, 2 adults and 2 teenagers, it had double bed, and 2 bunk beds(4 to sleep). When we arrived we fond chocolate slabs for the boys, They were so impressed. Its very clean, and well organized, the room has a toilet and shower, Smart TV with Netflix and YouTube. Wifi all around the place. The common area is thatched, with SmartTV, a Pool table, and facilities to prepare good breakfast, lunch or diner, Outside patio has Weber Gas Braai (BBQ) . Below the hostel , there are various restaurants, and great pizza place , Close to Grocery shop, and the beach. The parking on front is safe, During busy restaurants time is a bit difficult to park but later it clears up and its all well. I believe there is a shuttle service available to pick guests without transport from Port Elizabeth airport, but you have to confirm that. It was our second visit on the row, and I am sure we will come back. Thank you Ricky-Leigh and Steve!!…

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in St Francis! I usually worry about showers (shower head and water temperature) at such places. I must say I had a good shower! The lighthouse and trail walk was a great recommendation from the host. Breakfast at Rambling Rose (a walking distance away) was gooooood! Not forgetting St Francis craft beer spot downstairs! Loved it! They also have this hot “homemade” source that will keep you coming back for more :) The town is welcoming and really serious about service

My husband and I stayed one night in a double room. We are in our late 60s so were a bit apprehensive about booking into a backpackers which we expected to be very hostel-like. Everything was 100%. Couldn't have been more comfortable and private. Rikki-Leigh is a very friendly and helpful host. We\ll be back and have already recommended it to others.
