Durban YMCA Anchor House
Youth Hostel/Backpackers

Anchor House, 82 St Andrews Street, is in the heart of the Albert Park inner-city block, is a 9 storey building with a residence capacity of 110 beds. Accommodation is offered to students, young working people, backpackers, school and church groups throughout the year. Residents are offered an affordable rate for dinner, bed and breakfast, and an atmosphere which is conducive to communal living.

The building, and more specifically its location, provides us with an opportunity to reach into a depressed inner-city community, and we make a real difference through the programs we offer. We seek to offer healthy alternatives to the general attraction of inner-city living, which are no different from those of London in 1844, or Durban in 1901.
