1322 Backpackers International is a secure, well-kept backpackers run by a friendly young couple. It is a nice place to stay, but has a list of rules longer than any other backpackers in the country (rules on how to use the sheets and blankets, rules against folding the pillow under your head while sleeping; thankfully, they don't appear to be strictly enforced). It has a TV lounge room, bar, and outdoor lapa and braai area overlooking a manicured lawn and swimming pool.
