Daddy Long Legs is a traveler’s lodge that celebrates the creative spirit. Each one of its rooms was given to an artist, poet, or photographer who was allowed a free reign to design and decorate the space as they liked. Check out the results in these amazing photos.

Owners, Jody Aufrichtig and Nicholas Ferguson started off providing self-catering accommodation for backpackers in Cape Town and expanded to make this unique travelers hotel which combines the social aspects of a youth hostel with the high quality and comfort of a hotel, “It’s about funky, affordable accommodation”, says Aufrichtig “it’s a place where you can meet people, have fun whilst you are at it and get an awesome night’s rest.” Special travel advisors are on hand to help you plan your trip in Cape Town and hook you up with the best offers and the best safaris of course.
