Accommodation Details
More freebies than you could throw a frisbee at at this super-friendly hostel with one of the busiest bars around. You have to pay for your beers and pizza, but when it's time to work it all off, the pool, gym and tennis and volleyball courts are all free. So are the TV lounge movies (more than a hundred), full-size snooker table, 24-hour Internet and the daily shuttle to the shops! Check out the gorgeous garden this hostel is set in - perfect for summer tan top-ups and poolside lounging!

How To Get There

International Terminal please go to the escalator and wait at Nando's from where the driver can meet you. 

By Car - From the airport:
follow the signs for Johannesburg R21. On this road, keep an eye out for signs for the N3 Pretoria North. On the N3 heading north, drive to the junction which is signposted Modderfonteinweg, where you will leave the N3.
At the junction with the Modderfontein Road turn left and head down the hill, passing the Edenvale Hospital on your left. At the lights immediately after the hospital, turn right up the M30. Continue along this road, passing a Shell Filling Station en route. The road goes up a hill, down a dip - past a wide grassy area, then up a more steep hill. At the top of this hill is a BP filling station on the right and a Mammoet warehouse on the left. Turn left immediately BEFORE the Mammoet warehouse onto Van Gelder Road. Gemini Backpackers is at the far end of the road on the right hand side - when you reach the stop sign you have gone too far!
