Your Big Sanctuary

THE BIG BACKPACKERS

Welcome!

Imagine the cold splash of an ocean swim followed by the warm hug from the sun.

 

Picture tall mountains above us and soft sand under our feet.

 

We travel the world to find small treasures and enjoy every detail along the way.

 

THE BIG is more than just a hotel. It’s a resting place for travelers, a cozy spot for visitors. A happy place where you can relax and clear your mind or laugh until your belly hurts.

 

It’s a place where joy, love, and community come together, making you feel like you belong. Here, the lines between friends and family blur. It’s the small moments that make big memories and everything in between that fills life with wonder.

 

Whether you love nature, the city, or both, The Big is your home away from home as you explore Cape Town.

The Big is your home away from home!

Where joy, love and community come together to let you know you’ve arrived. Where the lines between friendship and family are blurred.

The BIG is your window
into the soul of Cape Town.

Situated below Signal Hill in Green Point, the BIG is a 20 minute walk from  the historically rich Cape Town city centre; the iconic V & A Waterfront; and trendy Bree Street restaurants and bars.

Great people, Great experiences, beautiful Cape Town!
