Destination 1: Teniqua Treetops – Sedgefield, Garden Route
The most awesome thing about this destination in my opinion is that you sleep in a tree house. Yes, you read that right! You and your family literally sleep in a tree house, surrounded by a magical forest with lovely woodland trails and even a fairy or two. The uniqueness of this experience and the safety of your surroundings allow your children to explore the forest, swimming pool and games rooms with outside braais on their own, while you bask in the beauty around you. You are also right on the Garden Route and Sedgefield offers local markets and beaches.
Destination 2: Cathedral Peak Hotel – Drakensberg, KwaZulu Natal
This is a no-brainer. Just take a look at pictures of this place and you will be phoning in your booking. This is not just one of the most beautiful places in SA, but also a World Heritage Site. The expansiveness of the majestic mountains will not be lost on you and there is plenty activities for your children – whether you participate or not. There are planned activities during peak holiday season, a separate children’s dining room as well as babysitters! Five course meals for the adults will have you begging for more and the frenzy of so many people (the hotel has 104 rooms) is absorbed by the beauty of your surroundings. Enjoy walks, views, the amphitheatre and rest up!
Destination 3: Sparkling Waters Hotel – Rustenburg, North West Province
This 3 star hotel is highly recommended by the AA and is a graded Hotel & Spa situated in the heart of the Magaliesberg Range – a mere 90 minutes’ drive from Johannesburg. With more than 16 on site sport, recreation and outdoor activities, this caters for the whole family. Your options include tennis, volleyball, mini golf, mountain bikes, hiking trails, outdoor action cricket, paintball war games, very well equipped games room, playpark, heated splash pool, cold pool, the spectacular Magaliesberg Canopy tours, Sparkling Health Spa and more.
