Where to stay in South Africa
No matter how you wish to be accommodated on your holiday, South Africa will provide
Scope
is endless. From huge, luxurious hotels and resorts to the smaller
intimate variety and guesthouses, or, alternatively go B&B.
Standards, too, range from the modest to a degree luxury barely
imaginable.
The country is quite interesting architecturally, as well, its cities inspired by early colonial styles and the ethnic.
On safari nature itself is often the architect’s creative assistant. At
times, in fact, you will feel as if you have just stepped into the
lavish pages of glossy design mag.

High standard
On safari high standards of comfort and quality are guaranteed. South
Africa’s nature reserves are renowned for their focus on ecotourism.
And for this reason alone many lodges are constructed of materials that
blend perfectly with the their natural surroundings. Camping, whether
stationary or mobile, brings you closest to nature.
Tents tend towards the luxury class, however, and come equipped with
beds and bathrooms. And, of course, professional staff are on hand
around the clock to take care of all practical details.
Personal attention
Needs differ depending on where and when you travel. On safari small
lodges or camps with a hint of the rustic come highly recommended. On
the round trip stop off perhaps on the Garden Route at a romantic
guesthouse, where your hosts make a business of personal service.

Smart hotels
Arriving in Cape Town you will expect and find modern facilities and a
level of service that only a good hotel can provide, in comfortable
anonymity, yet still with high personal service.
There
is, of course, the inevitable connection between costs and standards.
Still, few destinations can provide the same value for money as South
Africa. South Africa not only satisfies every taste but suits every
wallet, as well. Intimate guest houses
Intimate guest houses, often with no more than a few rooms, provide a
perfect blend of ambience and luxury. In fact, major cities apart, the
most exclusive alternative when touring is guesthouses. Around Cape
Town you will find them up the slopes of Table Mountain, while on the
Garden Route most are tucked away between the mountains, in dales or
dotted along the coast.
In the Winelands you could stay at old vineyards designed in Cape Dutch style, refurbished as modern hostelries.
Exciting arcitecture and stunning location
And in addition to all the above South Africa’s hotels come in all
shapes, sizes, classes and variations on the theme. Small, exclusive
hotels out of sight in the wilderness.
The big and bold, soaring side-by-side with the rustic and charming,
are a mere five minutes from the waterfront, taking in fantastic views
of the Atlantic. These hotels are particularly popular with golfing
enthusiasts and offer an array of health and relaxation therapies, to
revive soul and body. |
