There's a restaurant on site, as well as a coffee shop/cafe. You can enjoy a drink at the bar/lounge. WiFi is free in public spaces. An airport shuttle (available on request) and an area shuttle are available for a fee. A terrace, barbecue grills, and a vending machine are also featured at Riverlodge Backpackers. Free self parking is available.
Smoking is allowed in designated areas at this 3-star Cape Town hostel.
The hotel/lodge need more self contained rooms. The place is self cantering but some items bought can disappear easily. I was given a family room. Good water flow and hot water was available.
