Ashanti Lodge Gardens

Ashanti Lodge Gardens is a well-established accommodation facility located at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. Operating for over 28 years, it was one of the city's first backpacker hostels and has since expanded to include a guesthouse in the Gardens area.

The property features a beautifully refurbished Victorian mansion offering various accommodation options, from camping and backpacker dormitories to private en-suite rooms. The facilities include modern amenities such as individual reading lights, personal safes, lockers, free Wi-Fi, and international plug charging points. Guests can enjoy the outdoor swimming pool, landscaped gardens, spacious balconies, and palm-fringed sundecks. The property also provides poolside and garden barbecue facilities.

The on-site Kumasi Café and bar serves meals and beverages while offering stunning mountain views. A well-equipped communal kitchen is available for self-catering guests. The lodge's dormitory rooms are uniquely configured with three single beds in a non-bunk arrangement, and during quieter periods, guests may have exclusive use of entire dorm rooms.

Ashanti Lodge demonstrates a commitment to sustainability through various initiatives, including energy-saving sensor lights, solar panels for water heating, plant-based plastic water bottles, and a borehole for garden irrigation. The property's dedicated Travel Centre assists guests with planning adventures, from overland trips and underwater excursions to cross-border safaris, as well as car rentals and accommodation bookings throughout Southern Africa.

Located within walking distance of Cape Town's city centre and beaches, the lodge has built a reputation for excellent security, outstanding service, and comprehensive facilities, making it a popular choice for travelers exploring the Cape region.
