The themed Airstream trailers at Old Mac Daddy in Grabouw were pretty funky, stayed there a few times years back.

Midrand.

I was eating my Chinese noodles on my AirBnB balcony while the people in the street below was busy stabbing and throwing each other with glass bottles.

• The Lord Milner Hotel in Matjiesfontein, proper old school back in the day (not sure if its been modernised)
• Camped at Retief's kloof in the Magaliesberg, was hard to get into but now I think its impossible.
• Stayed at the Buffels Baai accommodation at Cape point. I think its more accessible nowadays but hard to book.

 

[Supervan II]

• The Ritz Protea
• Gold Reef City
• Camping at various locations

Zimbali Hotel
Zimbali Lodge (twice)
All before COVID when it was still a Fairmont Property
Flippen Awesome!

 

[Lupus]

The Riveria on the Vaal
The Pilgrim Rest Hotel when it was still fine
Some places at various game reserves in SA, can't remember them cause I find game reserves yawn inducing and the company took me.
Oh the Lost Palace it was larney but fake feeling.

 

[Vorastra]

My home.

I remember it fondly.

 

[Smiggles]

Place outside Oudtshoorn with a breakfast buffet.

Balies's gat

This name always cracks me up.

"Where did you go on holiday?"
"Balie's gat"
"Who's ... what?"

Wimpy Pro max?

Whose face was the pillow on?

Stayed a couple of nights in July at F.W.s old haunt at Lekkerwater in De Hoop nature reserve. Incredible place.

 

[FiestaST]

Did not stay over but when I was a lighty. When with the family to the Ostrich Farm (Oudtshoorn).

Rode one then ate one (burger). My younger sibilings could not do the latter.

A simpler time.
