Hey dudes!

A bunch of friends and I are organising a weekend away for our mates' combined bachelor/hen party.
Do you guys have any suggestions for accommodation somewhere around Cape Town for:
20 people (ideally two separate houses in close proximity of each other, but if not possible we can work with that)
A kitchen and maybe a braai area as well.

Some of the places we're considering include:
Bettys Bay,Kleinmond, Hermanus, Langebaan, Hout Bay, Noordhoek, Saldanha Bay, Simon's Town

We're all students (readoor) so we are looking to get something at like R150 per person per night (lower is always sweeter!)
It's the last weekend of November (Fri, Sat, Sun 28-30 Nov)

Fire away with suggestions!

I would recommend BlueHippo Farm - http://www.bluehippofarm.com/

Price : R150pppn

The Blue Hippo Farm is situated 4 kms from the picturesque village of Greyton. Accommodation is in Indian style Tipis, complete with fire places and futons. Central cooking area, with fully equipped kitchen and dining space. There is a central ablution area with hot showers.

We were a group of about 16 people ( incl 3 woman) who booked out the whole tipi campsite.
The tipis are big inside with up to 4 beds. In the middle of the tent you can make a fire.
Huge kitchen area with lots of fridges , tables as well as a fireplace.
If you like camping you will love this.

That's going to be the most expensive R150 ever spent if someone ends up pregnant after the weekend.

@theone, well everyone is quite religious so I really doubt that's a risk! hahaha
Thanks Waaib - but they don't have enough space in the cottages for that place to work...The 18/20 people size of the group makes it complicated.
