<p>This truly distinguished Boutique Guest House offers a very special and luxurious environment combined with an embracing warm hospitality. Idwala’s passion is to care for a handful of guests who are looking for the finer things in life.</p>
<p>Idwala offers pure tranquility and the feeling of being ‘out in the bush’ even though it is situated conveniently in the middle of Johannesburg with easy access to shopping, entertainment and business hubs.</p>

<p>Valued at R10 760, the prize includes:</p>

<p>A huge welcoming lounge where you can unwind on arrival awaits you – watch the sun fade away over the Northcliff hill as you sip a cocktail at the bar adjoining the lounge area. On the many warm days and evenings perhaps a dip in the splash pool will refresh and revive you, or warm yourself at the open fireplace during the cold weather!</p>
<p>The rooms are all thatched and tastefully renovated to create a luxurious and comfortable haven set in tranquil indigenous gardens, so that the guest house is now a stylish luxurious home away from home, equipped with the latest technology.</p>
<blockquote><p>"My husband and I, together with our extended family stayed in the main house occupying all the rooms. We had an amazing stay at Idwala and will always remember the special attention we received. Everyone felt at home in this luxurious guest house in the suburbs of Johannesburg. We had wonderful breakfasts every day. We even had dinner catered for us one evening. When we asked for help in arranging tours around Johannesburg, it was done quickly, with a smile" — Helena Livingston, Singapore</p></blockquote>

A honesty bar for your favourite tipple, a day spa for pampering, a private pool for the sun-goddess and air-conditioned bedrooms to escape to ... the small luxuries that make for a relaxing and invigorating experience.</p>
<p>Luxurious accommodation offers every convenience with up-market comforts in spacious suites and luxury rooms with king size mahogany beds, fluffy bath sheets and superior bath products. These small luxuries ensure a relaxing and invigorating experience and includes deluxe amenities such as the daily newspaper and evening turn-down service!</p>

<p>Live the dream ... aboard our fully equipped, 4– or 6-berth self-drive houseboats. We’ll show you how to pilot your craft and make you "Captain Of Your Own Holiday" — catered or self-catered, you’ll be free to explore the safe, tranquil waters of Knysna’s Lagoon.</p>
<p>For holiday-makers, houseboating is your accommodation — and it’s your entertainment; for honeymooners, it’s romance; and for business people, it’s an unusual conference and team building opportunity.</p>
<p>Our 6-berth, aluminium-hulled Aquachalets and newly-built, 4-berth, GRP Leisure Liners come complete with bedding, galleys (with fridges and gas stoves), ‘heads’ (shower rooms with chemical toilets) and portable barbecues. And our shore facility offers spacious ablution blocks and an indoor/outdoor conference and functions venue.</p>
<p>With Lightleys Holiday Houseboats you’ll enjoy all the pleasures of boating, and you’ll have the ideal base from which to discover the Garden Route. No experience or skipper’s license required.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_17072" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 150px"><img class="size-full wp-image-17072" title="Hippo Boutique Hotel" src="http://blog.sa-venues.com/wp-content/uploads/2005/10/hippo-polaroid.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="112" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hippo Boutique</p></div>
<p>WIN a 2 night stay in the hub of Cape Town's café culture (and just about 5 minutes from everything and everywhere else!) at the <a title="Hippo Boutique Hotel" href="http://www.sa-venues.com/visit/hippoboutiquehotel/" target="_blank">Hippo Boutique Hotel</a>.</p>
<p>This hip four-star boutique hotel, has twenty spacious standard rooms and five designer executive suites (double volume lofts with bedroom / bathroom on a mezzanine level). The rooms are en-suite, air-conditioned and come equipped with king-size beds <!--more-->covered in fine cotton linen.  The stainless steel kitchenettes include a microwave, filter-coffee machine and fully stocked mini-bar, hidden away behind cherry-wood sliding doors. All rooms come standard with a PC, offering you 24 hour complimentary high-speed internet access. And of course, should you prefer to make use of your own laptop, then the wireless network will also keep you connected at no extra charge.</p>
<blockquote><p>"Very relaxed and very friendly. The helpful staff couldn't do enough when I arrived without luggage. Excellent restaurants below and good amenities in the hotel. I'll definitely stay again." — as quoted on TripAdvisor</p></blockquote>
<p>The three excellent restaurants on the ground floor, all open onto a veranda where you can breakfast at leisure or enjoy a late afternoon cocktail. Greens not only serves breakfast but also modern and ‘easy’ food (from wood-fired pizzas to lamb-chops and fresh salads).  Then there is Fat Cactus offering Mexican food and tequilas that will keep you going back for more. And last-but-not-least: Simply Asia for simply the best Thai food in town.</p>
<p>The friendly staff will happily assist you round the clock with any queries you might have <img src='http://blog.sa-venues.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<h4 class="special" style="padding: 15px 0 0 8px;">The Prize</h4>
<p>Valued at R5900, the prize includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>2 consecutive nights for 2 people in one of our exclusive individually branded Suites</li>
<li>Breakfast daily at Greens</li>
<li>1 Dinner at Fat Cactus</li>
<li>1 Dinner at Simply Asia</li>
<li>1 Bottle of wine on arrival</li>
<li>Airport transfers, if required (flights for own account)</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>"My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay at the Hippo Boutique and received impeccable customer service from the first online inquiry we made. Our room was one-of-a-kind. Totally modern, refreshing, and felt very safe. There was a ton of space, outdoor views and we loved the duplex layout. I wish we stayed longer to really take advantage of the kitchen and other amenities, but luckily the restaurant next door was delicious. It was also nice to be so close to everything in Cape Town. Can't wait to go back!" — as quoted on TripAdvisor</p></blockquote>

<p>WIN a 3 night stay for up to 6 people at <a href="http://www.sa-venues.com/visit/dreamcatcher/" target="_blank">Dreamcatcher</a>, a luxurious self catering cottage in historic Tulbagh, a charming town just 120km from Cape Town. Set in a beautiful landscape, Tulbagh is famous for its heritage, wealth of Cape Dutch Architecture, magnificent country living, scenic beauty and majestic mountain ranges.</p>
<p>Dreamcatcher is an elegant, modern cottage, carefully kitted out with all the mod cons one expects from self-catering accommodation, but done with a certain distinction and measure that allows one to feel immediately at home<!--more-->, whilst maintaining an understated luxury. The heart of the cottage is the lounge and dining room, its roomy rafters revealed. The dining room opens up onto a pleasant, little enclosed verandah, as well as a braai area and plunge pool. The distance between the three bedrooms allows for privacy and time out. You will enjoy an extremely tranquil stay, away from the hustle and bustle of the City.</p>

<h4 class="special" style="padding: 15px 0 0 8px;">The Prize</h4>
<p>Three consecutive nights accommodation on a self catering basis, for a maximum of 6 persons in 3 double rooms, to be taken in May, June or July 2011. Redemption of prize is subject to availability of the house.</p>

<blockquote><p>"Super Weekend Retreat !! Dreamcatcher has it all! Comfortable, spacious, well equipped, charming. As a retired couple we travel a lot, rarely have we found self catering accommodation which has so much to offer at such an affordable price. Even the sun is in the right place, the pool basks in sunshine from 9.30am until 6pm. The braai is perfectly positioned, as is the outdoor seating area. A winter break would also have lots to offer with a lovely indoor fireplace. Perfect!"</p></blockquote>

<p>We offer you the exhilarating experience of riding these magnificent animals. Revel in the natural beauty of the environs and its wildlife from your lofty seat as these gentle giants amble through the African bush. After the ride, walk with them through the diverse valley bushveld, ravine and forest habitat. At the conclusion of the walk, enjoy rewarding the elephants with their favorite treats.</p>
<p>A once in a lifetime journey, at one with nature, following in the footsteps of the ancients ...</p>
<blockquote><p>"Absolutely fantastic 3 days spent in this most beautiful of places. Got to ride and interact with elephants, which has certainly been on our wish list. All the staff were very friendly, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Food was lovely and plenty of it. The lodges were amazing especially the jacuzzi and verandas, with fantastic views of the surrounding hills. Even the squabbling monkeys who woke us up in the early hours, didn't dampen the enjoyment. If we get the chance we will definitely be going back." — The Baylis family, Reading — England (stayed: April 2009)</p></blockquote>

<h4 class="special" style="padding: 15px 0 0 8px;">Guest Reviews</h4>
<p>"My wife and I recently spent six nights of our honeymoon at The Green Tree Guest Cottages and it was absolutely perfect! The cottages are well  equipped, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. The service is  outstanding from the thoughtful and friendly hostess Lezl who gave us a  bottle of Champagne on arrival to celebrate, packed us numerous picnic  baskets for our early morning adventures into Addo elephant park and  even made us breakfast in bed (!) to the efficient cleaning fairies who  somehow manage to keep the rooms spotlessly clean in the blink of an eye  (who knows where they come from or went, but they do a damn fine job of  it). I would recommend The Green Tree Cottages to anyone wanting to  spend time in the Eastern Cape as it offers a good balance of peaceful  farm life perfect for relaxing, it is close to Addo for day visits and  is in easy travelling distance from PE should one wish to go shopping or  attend the fantastic dolphin shows at Bayworld. We thoroughly enjoyed  our stay and thanks again to Lezl and her staff for making our honeymoon  time with them so special." — Ryan Weaver</p>
<p>"Great place to stay, but what made it exceptional was the service we received: travelled with both my partner + parents &amp; received personal touches everywhere.. Nothing was too much effort &amp; we felt at home &amp; very comfortable.  Cottages &amp; scenery are both stunning with friendly service. Couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend staying here for a true SA experience." — Adele &amp; Chris Jams (UK)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15969" title="The Green Tree Cottages" src="http://blog.sa-venues.com/wp-content/uploads/2005/10/greentree-collage2.jpg" alt="" width="667" height="200" /></p>
<p>"We stayed for two nights while visiting Addo Elephant Park. Recommended by a  friend. As soon as we met Lezl and saw the cottages, we realised that it was  a great recommendation. Our cottage was clean, very well furnished and very  comfortable, with a very cottage bathroom. The kitchen was complete with all the  necessary equipment and a well stocked bar. Landlady Lezl is a perfect hostess.  She made us feel very welcome and cooked us tasty suppers of local dishes,  served in our own cottage. Breakfast was extensive, catering for all tastes,  nothing too much trouble. Bearing in mind that this is a working farm and the  hours that they work, We thought that it was a great experience and very good  value for money. The little mini farm of domestic animals, run by Reynard,  their son, was just the icing on the cake." — Ray and Ans Jennings (UK)</p>
<p>"My wife and I live in SA, and were travelling with friends from Jersey C.I. and  we used Green Tree as a base to tour the area, Addo etc. We stayed in two  separate cottages self catering, which were immaculate and well appointed. We  have stayed on working farms before and this was the best by far. Nothing was  too much trouble for our Host's who even did some shopping for us in Port  Elizabeth, and one evening cooked us a fantastic meal. We were extremely pleased  by the lovely gardens and swimming pool, that we took time out from travels just  to spend time in the gardens and pool. We had a great stay and would recommend  Green Tree to anyone with or without children. When my wife and I visit the East  Cape again we will certainly stay here again, so to our hosts: Thank you for a  wonderful stay and we hope to see you again soon." — Phil Nicholson</p>

<p><strong>About Graham Beck Wines:</strong></p>
<p>Graham Beck Wines is now entering its third generation as a family  winery. It was established in 1983 when entrepreneur Graham Beck  purchased Madeba farm outside the <a class="other" href="http://www.sa-venues.com/westcape.htm" target="_blank">Western Cape</a> town of <a class="other" href="http://www.sa-venues.com/attractionswc/robertson.php" target="_blank">Robertson</a> with a  fervent ambition to establish a world-class winery in this region. The  success of the Robertson winery has been extended to the second Graham  Beck cellar in <a class="other" href="http://www.sa-venues.com/attractionswc/franschhoek.php" target="_blank">Franschhoek</a>, one of the oldest wine-making regions in <a class="other" href="http://www.sa-venues.com/"> South Africa</a>. The success of Graham Beck Wines can be attributed to  passion, commitment, skill and access to the finest quality grapes. But  most of all it can be attributed to the vision of one man – Graham Beck.

<p>WIN a 3-night retreat on a 220 hectare wine farm near Stellenbosch, in the <a href="http://www.sa-venues.com/attractionswc/capewinelands-attractions.htm" target="_blank">Cape Winelands</a>. Meticulously restored and beautifully decorated with exquisite antiques, <a href="http://www.sa-venues.com/visit/hawksmoorhouse/" target="_blank">Hawksmoor House</a> occupies a stunning location amidst vineyards overlooking Table Mountain, and  enjoys spectacular sunsets. <strong>Hawksmoor House</strong> is the perfect place to unwind and let the day slowly go  by, lie by the pool with a good book and a glass of our own fabulous Hawksmoor wine. It also serves as a great base from which to explore the Winelands.</p>
<h4 class="special" style="padding: 15px 0 0 8px;">The Prize</h4>
<p>Valued at over R5,000 the prize includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>3 nights bed and breakfast accommodation</li>

<p>A 25 minute drive away from the buzzing Cape Town centre, the estate is quiet  and serene. In addition to our guests, the farm is home to horses, cows,  porcupines, hawks, pelicans and countless other wildlife. Our resident German  Pointers Cosmo, Alice and  little  Jack keep a  watchful eye on the daily workings of the farm. Our friendly and cheerful  staff stay discreetly in the background, providing you with the feeling that you  have the entire place to yourself. Hawksmoor House offers  a totally unspoilt, unpolished and authentic country home experience for those  who need some well-deserved rest. It is the perfect place to  unwind.</p>
<p>If you love dirt roads, sunsets, wine by candlelight, an  owl outside your window, and don't mind sharing the pool with the occasional  disoriented frog, or getting a paw print of our overzealous dogs on your  trousers, you have found your place!</p>
<blockquote><p>"Hawksmoor House is without a doubt one of the loveliest places that I  have stayed.  The house itself is so beautiful, our room just gorgeous,  the food outstanding and the service out of this world.  I can't recommend it enough. Thank you very very much to Maike and her staff — we will be back." — Helen Rushton, Cape Town (stayed: September 2010)</p></blockquote>
