Your south coast base

Come for the surf.
Stay for the liming.

Tucked into the green just outside Ahangama, Lime is a social hostel with room to breathe. Dip in the pool, stretch out under the palms, play a tune, or do absolutely nothing.

We are close enough for beach days and surf sessions, and quiet enough to properly switch off when you get home.

Straight from the guestbook

★★★★★

The perfect mix of chill and social. It feels more like a big home than a hostel.

★★★★★

A genuinely relaxed, welcoming place where you end up staying in and hanging out.

★★★★★

Surrounded by jungle and open fields, yet still close to Ahangama. The team makes it special.
