Having stayed at Sun City Cabanas while using our race timing equipment to track delegates’ attendance at various sessions of a conference, Team #FinishTime has come up with a list of reasons why the Cabanas is an outstanding place to stay. For a start, whether you’re at Sun City for work or pleasure, there are great views to be enjoyed. Most of the Cabanas’ rooms either boast views of the lake or open up onto…

Team #FinishTime spends a lot of time travelling around Southern Africa in the course of their work, and the first thing that grabbed our attention about Tranquility Lodge was the description on their website of “a haven of ocean and forest”. What better place could there be to unwind after a hard day’s race timing or route scouting? We can confirm that this lodge absolutely lives up to its statement of creating a tranquil haven.…

The thing our team loved most about Newlands Peak Aparthotel by Totalstay is that it offers the best of both worlds: everything luxurious that you’d expect from a hotel stay and everything comfortable that you’d expect from home. Rather than staying in a room as you would at a hotel, Newlands Peak Aparthotel offers, as the name implies, apartments. All apartments are equipped with comfortable queen-sized beds, smart TVs and seating, offering a perfect place…

If you’ve ever been to the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, then we don’t need to tell you how quaint and picturesque the area is. What you may not know, however, is that the iconic Anew Hotel Hilton, originally established in 1936, boasts 97 renovated rooms with every modern amenity. Whether you’re in the area for a race, for work or just to explore, Anew Hotel Hilton is an ideal home base in the Midlands. We asked our…

Since Team #FinishTime’s base is in Kloof, it’s not every day that we look for accommodation in this area. However, when we’re bringing team members from around the country “home” for an event or a company conference, it’s time to look for accommodation close to home. Southey House in Kloof proved to be a wonderful temporary home for team members coming in from various parts of the country. They got to enjoy breathtaking views over…

A group of Team #FinishTime staff members recently stayed at Holland House in Morningside, Durban and we had a fantastic stay for an array of reasons. Firstly, you can’t beat Holland House for its location in Morningside. Situated between Innes Road and Wallace Road, it provides quick proximity to shops and eateries while also giving you a feeling of being tucked away in a quiet, secluded neighbourhood. Secondly, the service offered was second to none,…

It’s not every day that a race timer gets to stay in a castle, but the exception came when our team arrived at Edenvale’s Bastille de Blignaut. The rooms’ mediaeval theme, together with the regal structure of the building as a whole, truly made us feel like royalty. And of course, the fantastic service we received from the staff was the final jewel in the crown. The royal theme is continued in the naming of…

When our team arrived at Mhlati Guest Cottages, the first thing that struck them was the utter serenity that it offers. Upon walking outside our unit, we were greeted by a secluded lawn, a swimming pool and comfortable chairs shaded by lush greenery and trees. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to relax and unwind after a hard day’s travelling or race timing. You’ll find these cottages a few kilometres from Malelane, which makes…

With an ideal location, comfortable rooms, breakfast, free uncapped WiFi and great value for money, it’s no surprise that Stayeasy Mbombela is a firm favourite among people visiting Mbombela for work or pleasure. Members of Team #FinishTime who stayed here particularly enjoyed the opportunity to relax in the pool and the gardens – and their biggest regret was that time unfortunately did not allow them to make a trip into the much-loved Kruger National Park.…

In the words of one reviewer, Meet Mekaar Resorts Nquthu is said to be “a friendly and peaceful place in the middle of the busyness of Nquthu”. According to members of our team who stayed at the resort while timing a race in the area, they couldn’t have said it better themselves. After a busy day’s race timing, our team found it a relief to retreat to their room’s balcony with a cup of coffee…
