Ahoy Stephan...
Here's some info on backpackers...
I would recommend The Backpack and African Travel Centre...I stayed there for a while.
It's central, basically on Kloof Nek Road-which is the route to Glen Beach.
The facilities are good, rooms clean, parking area with night guards and the prices are fair.
Dorms go for R95 per person, per night.
Luxury Dorms(4 beds)) go for R130, per person, per night.

It is a little off Kloof Nek Road, but not too far...
Dorms go for R100 per person, per night...

I got all this info from Coast To Coast-The definitive backpackers guide to Southern Africa.
You can usually pick one up at your local tourist info branch or try visiting backpackers in your area to get one-it's a very handy little book and it's free!!!
Damn i should get commission from these guys!!!...lol
I hope this helps...
