The Road Lodge

Good Comfortable budget hotels

by Anjan123 about Road Lodges & Formula One

When travelling to South Africa, check out the Road Lodge hotels at various places. These are located conveniently to many locations, airports ec. and are reasonable. Should cost you approx Rand 290 for a room for 2. Rooms are small but the hotel is clean , got Aircon and heaters and safe. They also have pick up arrangements from airports etc.

Another good chain is Formula 1 hotels which cost Rand 240 per room. They do not have pick up facilities but have taxi's nearby. For a first time vistor, suggest Roda lodges. Safe , Clean , Reliable

'Stunning' South Africa

"Capetown"

From day one to the end Capetown region was fantastic. Stayed at the Road lodge near the airport first night. Worked out 20 Euro PP. We were happy with it. Moved to Bettys Bay in hired car the next day. Thank heavens for Sat Nav. The coast road from Somerset West was spectacular. By the end of the holiday we had picked up the S.A. use of the word 'stunning' although we hadn't the emphasis in the right place.Found the driving around Capetown to be very easy, traffic manners were better than we were accustomed to at home ( dare I say ). Did the usual tourist things, ie Table mountain, V.A Waterfront Kristenbosch Gardens . I recommend the Red and Blue route tourist Bus, good value and the headphones lets you know what you are looking at. Very impressed. Watched the Irish France match with Eugene in the Dubliner pub Long St (The ladies stayed at home ). At the start of extra time we were planning to go looking for match tickets for June 2010. Then came Thierry henry's double handball which everyone in the world saw except the ref. Threatened to delete my photos of the new stadium at Greenpoint. Visited the Kyayalitha township, was not on my original 'to do' list and would not be again either. Mama Africa's is a must do really enjoyed the food and the music. Hussar's restaurant on Exhibition Tce. excellent and Dale Court Guest House off Exhibition road I could not recommend enough.Found the prices and value for money very good. Never had a problem with security nor felt in any way threatened. Would we come back to Capetown- absolutely

"Home Sweet Home"

Port Elizabeth is a place I like to call home and would strongly advise anyone thinking of travelling to South Africa to add PE to your list of places to see. Friendly people, breathtaking beaches and tons of outdoor activity - my paradise!!!
