At Cape Nomads (formerly Cape Capsules Backpackers, established in 2019), we warmly invite you to immerse yourself in the Muizenberg experience, nestled within our charming bohemian seaside village. Upgraded in 2024, with a new deck and other features, we aim to make your stay even more enjoyable. Consider this your home away from home. Discover the allure of our beach, perfect for both surfers and swimmers, located just across from East Beach, famously known as Kitesurfer’s Paradise.
A short 5-minute walk will lead you to Surfers Corner, where vibrant pubs, clubs, and restaurants await. Alternatively, enjoy a leisurely stroll to St. James Tidal Pool or venture further into Kalk Bay to savour Cape Town’s cuisine, art, and a treasure trove of thrift shops. Our property is situated in a safe residential area. We offer breakfast, sandwiches, and delightful pizza nights exclusively for our guests, including vegan options, right here on our premises. Relax in the cosy comfort of our communal spaces, perfect for work or unwinding. Alternatively, you can prepare meals in the self-catering kitchen. Treat yourself to a splendid coffee with freshly baked muffins or the Cake of the Day in our dining room. At Cape Nomads, we provide rentals of surfboards, wetsuits, and mountain bicycles. You’re sure to find a friendly face to chat with or simply unwind to some good music. We offer secure and comfortable sleeping arrangements, whether you prefer a capsule or a room.
