Festive Season Specials

‘Tis the sea­son to be jolly (well soon enough), and the best way to be jolly this year, is to save on your hol­i­day accom­mod­a­tion – means you’ll have more to spend on the import­ant stuff like presents and cock­tails. So play­ing “helper elf”, here are a few spe­cial offers that’ll save your budget ...

If, like me, you often threaten to get out of town for New Year’s Eve, then this might appeal to you. Aquacade Camp, on the banks of the Orange River in the Northern Cape, is offer­ing a 4 Day Orange River Special from the 27^th to the 31^st of December, includ­ing accom­mod­a­tion and all meals, 3 days pad­dling on the (you guessed it) Orange River and a New Year’s Eve Party.

If the idea of cook­ing Christmas din­ner for the whole fam­ily is just too much for you this year, escape to Robertson – a gor­geous little town on Route 62 (the longest wine route in the world) and home to some of South Africa’s best loved wines. There are two pack­ages here which might interest you:

Balinderry – The Robertson Guest House is offer­ing a 3 Night Christmas Special, which includes 3 nights accom­mod­a­tion, a 4-course gour­met din­ner on Christmas Eve and a cruise on the Breede River with a wine tasting.

GuBas De Hoek meet, eat, sleep is offer­ing a 5 Night Festive Special from 23–28 December, which includes 5 nights accom­mod­a­tion, wel­come drink, a light din­ner on 23 December 2009, a tra­di­tional German / South African Christmas Eve on 24 December 2009 with tra­di­tional German Christmas din­ner and a Christmas present, a relax­ing cruise on the Breede River and a three course gour­met din­ner on 25 December 2009, a Nordic Walking tour with your host­ess includ­ing rental of sticks and a tra­di­tional South African / German braai on 26 December 2009 and you can cre­ate your own day and even­ing on 27 December 2009.

My idea of a real hol­i­day is a few nights in the bush and if this idea inspires then Botsebotse Bush Retreat in Bela Bela has a pack­age that’s sure to please. Their 3 Night Silly Season Special gives a group of 8 adults and 8 chil­dren exclus­ive use of the lodge at dis­coun­ted rates (and the kids under 12 stay free). Includes all meals, high tea, con­ser­va­tion entrance fees, unlim­ited self drive game-drives, walks and cycle safaris.

While we know that lots of “Gautengorengs” visit Cape Town and Durbs over the hol­i­day sea­son, you can still enjoy a well deserved break a little closer to home. Budmarsh Private Lodge, in pop­u­lar Magaliesburg, is offer­ing a Festive Season Getaway Special. Discounted rates for adults and chil­dren under 10 stay free in the month of December.

Or, spoil your­self and a loved one at The Grace in Rosebank – 5 star lux­ury and a Santa’s Stay Over Package to sweeten the deal. Discounted rates for accom­mod­a­tion with break­fast and a 3-course din­ner included.
