PLACES TO STAY IN SOUTH AFRICA
In South Africa we are spoilt for choice with so many interesting places to stay! Many of them are suitable for the tightest of budgets and some are pet-friendly too.
From cool backpacker lodges to boutique hotels, self-catering spots and great campsites, here’s a selection of my favourites.
MONTAGU COUNTRY HOTEL, WESTERN CAPE
A charming pet-friendly art deco hotel along historic Route 62, where you are transported into a world of yesteryear class from the minute you arrive.
PLUM TREE COTTAGE, MCGREGOR
This pet-friendly, thatched cottage is typical McGregor-endearing and is the perfect place from which to explore the village and surrounding area.
TIPI BUSH CAMP, EASTERN CAPE
Stay in a luxury tipi surrounded by plenty of wildlife and birdlife. It’s as good as being in Addo Elephant National Park but at a fraction of the price.
ELALINI BACKPACKERS, GARDEN ROUTE
A tranquil spot where chickens scratch on the old railway line and dogs snooze on the stoep while legendary pancakes are served to guests and visitors.
