The Royal Hotel turns 150 this year, making it the oldest hotel in the Western Cape (it has more than three decades on the Mount Nelson) in one of the oldest towns in South Africa. To celebrate, owners Robert and Carminda are hosting a Gourmet Food & Wine Evening on 25 May, with a special package that includes the dinner, accommodation and breakfast for visitors who would like to stay over.
Part wholesome caravan park, part designer farm lodge, the Gold Loerie Award-winning Old Mac Daddy Trailer Hotel is the holiday destination that everyone should visit at least once in their lives. A collection of stunning vintage Airstream Trailer Suites in the magnificent Elgin Valley just an hour from Cape Town is the perfect escape, and a June/July holiday promotion makes it even easier to caravan in style!
There’s nothing like taking a break and being a tourist in your own town, especially when it’s Cape Town. African Pride 15 On Orange is running a fantastic Easter Escape special in April that includes a back & shoulder massage or mini-facial and, if you’re taking kids under 12, plenty of games and a movie with the requisite popcorn and soda. Opt for the Easter weekend and a deliciously indulgent Lindt bunny is included. More>
Do you know when and why the Mount Nelson hotel was painted pink? It’s definitely not because of Valentine’s Day. This iconic hotel has been a part of Cape Town since 1899 and is regarded as one of the finest hotels in the world. The Mount Nelson has played host to royalty, politicians, authors and entertainers, including a war correspondent who went on to become a Prime Minister.
