It is no secret that South Africa has a number of beautiful towns and cities available for people to explore but if you are tired of the usual hotel or guest house offerings, visit these cool places in SA:
1. Gnome Cottage, Clarens…
If you want to holiday like a hobbit, look no further than Gnome Cottage in Clarens. The shape of the house is Instagram-worthy enough, but the list of nearby attractions – including horse-riding, spa treatments, and game viewing promises a weekend to remember. At only R630 per night for two guests, it is gnome mystery why travellers love it.
2. 29 Maxie Drive, Velddrif…
You can’t get any closer to the water than 29 Maxie Drive. The property has its own jetty for boat lovers – and both an indoor and outdoor pool if you aren’t partial to the open waters. The space is equipped for families with a gaming table and tennis court, six bedrooms and three garages. From R3000 per night for the entire unit.
3. Kagga-Kamma Cave & Hut Suites…
4. Osfontein Corbelled Guesthouse, Carnarvon…
5. The Red Devil, Robertson
If you prefer to leave the driving up to someone else, you can hop on the Red Devil to catch a ride from Cape Town to Robertson. The package includes a Ceres Rail ticket, three nights accommodation at Gubas de Hoek and a bottle of Robertson wine to sweeten the deal. From only R2700 per person sharing.
