Santos Express

Santos Express Train Hostel was the first hostel we stayed in on our road trip up the East Coast of South Africa and the view we were greeted with when we woke up was enough to give it a place in this list!! The hostel is actually a train, parked up on a hill running alongside Santos Beach in Mossel Bay. The cabins are pretty much just the way the would have been when the train was still in operation and one of the carriages has been renovated and is now a bar and restaurant with a large deck area and spectacular views over the bay.
