Accommodation South Africa
When it comes to holiday accommodation South Africa is a popular destination with a great many accommodation options. All the country’s foremost tourist areas are possessed of a surfeit of guesthouses, hotels and other forms of accommodation.
Guesthouses and B&Bs have become very popular in South Africa. They are lauded for their congenial ambience and are found even in small towns where very few other accommodation alternatives may be available. These may range from fully featured luxury guesthouses to budget, hostel-type dwellings that offer little more than a room and a shared bathroom. Self-catering guesthouses rank very well, because they afford their guests a measure of independence; however, breakfast is always available as an added-cost option at most guesthouses. B&Bs often include breakfasts in their fees.
Hotels are still the backbone of the local accommodation industry. Some hotels are super-luxury establishments located on the seaside at some of South Africa’s most scenic and popular tourist areas. However, cheaper alternatives are available and these are often franchised chain groups spread across the country, where economies of scale and franchise rules often make for reasonable prices, predictable amenities and a measure of trust in the mind of the guest.
Independent hotels are also commonplace and some have become entrenched in their towns and cities as timeless establishments that have endeared them to their local communities and often mostly serve locals. However, there are always travellers passing through and people on business, so these hotels have had to advertise on local radio stations and in local newspapers to keep rooms full and remain viable in today’s tough economic climate.
With regards to accommodation South Africa offers these established accommodation institutions; however, the industry also caters for special requirements. South Africa’s popular accommodation websites list establishments that are wheelchair-friendly, allow pets or sleep large groups. As a pointer to quality, the star rating may be considered too, and many are AA Quality Assured.
