Malelane is one of the small towns our team doesn’t often get to visit, and we were delighted to discover Kruger Southern Cross on a recent trip. This one-bedroom apartment offers a garden and sun terrace, along with free WiFi, air conditioning and a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering. The cottage was clean, spacious and secure – and it’s also worth noting that it’s pet-friendly, although our team leaves their furry companions at home when…

The friendly service, peaceful surroundings and convenient location put the home in “Home Guesthouse”. One of the things our team loved most was the breakfast buffet that gets served daily, offering an array of warm dishes as…

When converging on Durban to time the prestigious Comrades Marathon, members of Team #FinishTime who live in various far-flung parts of South Africa had the opportunity to stay in Morningside’s eMakhosini Boutique Hotel. As its website advertises, this hotel is a delightful blend of French colonial and traditional Zulu. The décor is eclectic, with wood panelling in some communal areas complemented by regal blue walls and chandeliers in others. There are three types of rooms…

The Hotel Sky website aptly describes its hotels as “so much more than just a place to rest your head”. From the moment Team #FinishTime arrived to the time we checked out, we found this to be 100% true. Possibly the most memorable moment spent at Hotel Sky was our experience of the breathtaking 360-degree views from the bar at the Infinity Bar on the 26th floor. We unanimously agreed that it’s a view of…

Over and above the convenience factor, there’s plenty to love about 40 on Ilkey. Our…
