Nestled in the upmarket suburb of Green Point, The B.I.G Backpacker is set in two side-by-side renovated houses, forming one B.I.G awesome backpacker pad! While the hostel offers secure car parking for those with cars, both the city and the infamous V & A Waterfront are within easy walking distance as are plenty of quality restaurants, cafes and supermarkets.
