Hotel Recommendations - Garden Route, Durbs, Draks
We'll be driving the Garden Route at the end of November and figure to stop
between Mossel Bay and Knysna one night, then on to PE. We then fly to Durbs for two nights and pick up a car to drive to Joburg, expecting to stop at Giant's Castle along the way. Anyone have and reasonably priced hotel recommendations for those areas? Mike. |

As you will be traveling outside of school hol;idays the places won't be crowded, so there will not be any need to book in advance. In Durban stay out of the town preferably in the northern suburbs again there are some very good B&B's In Jo'burg the City Lodge is your best bet, again stay in the northern suburbs, and stay out of the CBD.

The best value-for-money way to find accomodation all over South
Africa is at the thousands of B+B's all over the country. As you drive into a town, you will see signs pointing the way to the various B+B's in the town. Pickone that looks nice, and ask them if they have a vacancy. In November you shouldn't have a problem. Depending on the town, a good B+B will go for anything from R85 ($13) to R500 ($80) per night. You will find that most B+B's will have secure parking, a clean and neat room, BTW, in spite of being called a Bed AND Breakfast, some of them don't offer breakfast. What I like about a B+B is that you get to meet local people, and you learn a lot about the area etc. Regards, Marc - Johannesburg On Mon, 11 Oct 2004 09:26:52 -0400, "Mike Himelfarb" wrote: We'll be driving the Garden Route at the end of November and figure to stop between Mossel Bay and Knysna one night, then on to PE.

I recommend Abalone Guest Houses in Knysna.
These are charming log houses, brand new, a few minutes drive from the heart of town. We stayed there for a couple of nights last month and loved it. |
