4 years on and finally I managed to return to Cape Town again. First thing on my mind while purchasing my air tickets, Zebra Crossing Lodge. I did mentioned on my first review about Zebra Crossing Lodge that I will definitely return again for my stay in Cape Town and yeah here I am for 4 days 3 nights. Despite some minor setback and incidents which have happened in Cape Town, these top 5 reasons are the main factors that made my stay memorable.
No. 5: The Lemon Trees
As soon as you enter the lodge, you will be greeted by green lush lemon tree. As lemon is not common in my country, Malaysia, it's great for me to look at those trees everyday :D..
No. 4: The Hail Storm Experience
This happens only once in a blue moon, and yes, really once in a blue moon. With experience with all kinds of precipitation such as rain (too common and boring in Malaysia) and snow (boring as well), hail is a new experience. It started with a sudden sunny weather during a stormy weekend and suddenly, you could hear loud 'heavy rain' kind of sound and here you are, the round spherical hail which is suitable for some ice coffee during hot summer (unfortunately not in Cape Town at that time).
No.3: Beautiful Rainbow after the hail
No places offered you the best rainbow view ever than Zebra Crossing Lodge (I hope it will be always...lol) As soon as the hail stopped, the sun emerged again with rainbows~ beautiful indeed after a stormy session
No. 2: The Location

| click for panoramic experience |
The Zebra Crossing lodge is located at a strategic New Church St.. it took me about 10-15 minutes taxi ride to either the Cape Town's very own gorgeous Table Mountain which is one of the 7 Nature Wonders of the World and the breathtaking panoramic view is also view-able from the lodge every morning. Besides that, the South Africa's most visited destination, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, can be reached within 10-15 minutes by taxi. Malls and restaurants are also situated around the vicinity of Zebra Crossing Lodge which can be reached on foot. The airport is also reachable within 20 minutes of taxi ride.
No.1 The Fun People of Zebra Crossing Lodge
The top reason apart from wifi facilities and affordable rates, as a backpacker, you tend to look for a place where you can interact and of course make new friends from around the world. And here we go, the top reason for my return to Zebra Crossing Lodge is the fun people and staff! Thanks to you positive guys and girls (Ian, Regine, Steven, Bryan, Ole the Great Dane, Juanho, Pierre, the staff, Susan and Nadia (too bad I missed out Stacey this time) for the fun, laughter and memorable time~ I am sure to be back again and keep in touch through Facebook or email~ God Bless You!! :D
