A Sunflower Stop Backpackers
We are a small hostel where volunteers can interact with our guests on a more personal level. We have been here for just over 2 decades, growing the family of our return guests from all over the world. Big enough for a vibe, small enough to care.
We started A Sunflower Stop from scratch over 20 years ago. Our staff and guests are our extended family. Volunteers will become one of the family, working at our bar or tending to our Housekeeping. Filter coffee, laundry and unlimited Wi-Fi are all included.

About the experience in: Cape Town, South Africa
Portugal
My time at the SunFlower was absolutely amazing! By the time my experience was coming to an end, I didn’t want to leave. Even though it was my 1st experience at a backpackers, I felt very welcomed. Everyone was amazing, helpful and fun! The work itself it’s quite easy. Just remember to be professional and count everything you need! Plus, the schedule and the support of your colleagues really gives you time to explore cpt and make the most out of it.
I will always remember this experience and definitely will be back to visit “my little South African family” :)

The Sunflower holds a very special place in my heart. My time here was truly amazing, not a single boring day at this place! It isn’t just a hostel, it’s a home away from home and we are not just members of staff and volunteers, we are one big Family.
Working at the bar was a beautiful experience. The hours are fair and the days off give you plenty of time to explore Cape Town. It’s not hard work and you get to meet so many lovely people from all over the world. Many fun nights and interesting conversations await you!!
I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!! 🤍🌻

Sunflower is a very special place for me, which is why I came back again! If you want to meet amazing people and work with even more amazing ones I can only recommend you this place! I spend christmas and nye here and it has been the best time :) The work is great to meet new people fast because you work at the bar where everyone meets and its a fun environment. The location is also nice and walkable. The only thing you need to be aware of is that once you enter Sunflower you will never want to leave <3
10/10 recommend!

I loved staying there, Hans, Sym and Augusto were amazing with me, the work was easy and fun, I had a lot of contact with foreigners and that helped me with my English.
