Meet your accommodation partners
From the coast to the city and into the great outdoors, we’ve teamed up with some of South Africa’s most exciting places to stay.
The Oyster Box | Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal
Ocean views, iconic red-and-white lighthouse, beautiful interiors and that unmistakable Durban warmth.
Set on Umhlanga’s beachfront, The Oyster Box is one of South Africa’s most celebrated luxury hotels. From its lush tropical gardens and indulgent spa to its famous curry buffet, there’s plenty to love about this coastal escape.
If your ideal getaway involves long breakfasts, warm ocean air and absolutely no rush to be anywhere, this one’s got your name written all over it.
AfriCamps | Boutique glamping across South Africa
Love the outdoors, but also love a comfortable bed and a proper shower? Meet AfriCamps.
With boutique glamping destinations across South Africa, AfriCamps brings together beautiful natural surroundings and all the comforts of a thoughtfully equipped stay.
Picture slow mornings on your private deck, mountain views, outdoor adventures and evenings spent under the stars. Whether you’re more into hiking trails or doing absolutely nothing, this is your kind of escape.
Radisson Hotels | Cape Town, Rosebank & Umhlanga
City break? Beach break? Why not keep your options open?
With participating Radisson properties in Cape Town, Rosebank and Umhlanga, there’s plenty to look forward to.
Think exploring Cape Town’s restaurants and coastline, making a weekend of Johannesburg’s buzzing Rosebank neighbourhood, or soaking up the sunshine along KwaZulu-Natal’s coast.
A change of scenery, a comfortable place to land and a whole city to explore. Sounds pretty good to us.
The Capital | Zimbali, Johannesburg & Cape Town
Some trips are all about switching off. Others are about getting out and making the most of every minute.
From the coastal setting of Zimbali to the energy of Johannesburg and Cape Town, The Capital brings together contemporary accommodation and convenient locations.
With The Capital Hotels, there’s room for both.
Whether your getaway plans involve poolside afternoons, a dinner reservation or a full day of exploring, there’s a good time waiting to happen.
Home Suite Hotels | Cape Town & Johannesburg
A dog-friendly hotel stay that feels a little more like home? We’re into it.
Home Suite Hotels brings a personal, welcoming approach to boutique hospitality, with properties in Cape Town’s Sea Point neighbourhood and Johannesburg’s Rosebank.
Think beautifully considered suites, inviting shared spaces and neighbourhoods worth getting out to explore.
Whether you’re after a coastal weekend or a Johannesburg city escape, Home Suite Hotels makes settling in part of the fun.
Bushmans Kloof | Cederberg, Western Cape
Now this is somewhere to properly switch off.
Tucked into the dramatic landscapes of the Cederberg, Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat is a luxury wilderness retreat surrounded by wide-open spaces, extraordinary natural beauty and ancient San rock art.
Days here can be spent exploring the reserve, discovering the region’s remarkable heritage or simply enjoying the peace and quiet.
Beautiful scenery, exceptional hospitality and a chance to leave the everyday behind? Yes, please.
The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa | Cape Town
Mountains on one side. The Atlantic Ocean on the other. Not a bad place to spend a few days.
Set along Cape Town’s spectacular coastal road, The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa is known for its breathtaking setting, luxurious accommodation and beautiful ocean views.
From sunset drinks and memorable dining to spa time and exploring the surrounding coastline, it’s the kind of place that makes you wish your getaway could last a little longer.
So, how do you get in on the action?
Good news. It’s easy.
