Welcome to the Cat and Moose Backpackers’ Lodge, Cape Town, South Africa - where you arrive as a guest - and leave as a friend!

Established in 1995 we are housed in a historical building circa 1792, one of the original Central Cape Town dwellings. Our old-charm character buildings against the backdrop of the majestic Table Mountain enclose a leafy, sunny and private courtyard with splash-pool.

Nested on the upper end of Long Street we are conveniently situated between the Harbour/Waterfront and Table Mountain.
