One of the things our race timers value most after a hectic day on the job is tranquility. In the Nelspruit area, it is our opinion that you would be hard-pressed to find a spot more peaceful and tranquil than Casterbridge Hollow Boutique Hotel. This peace and quiet is complemented by sophisticated décor with a distinctly “African chic” flavour. The staff was extremely warm and welcoming, and our team immediately felt at home. Overall, we…

It’s no secret that members of Team #FinishTime love it when they get an opportunity to go and time a race in Namibia.

On one such trip, our team had the privilege of staying at Be Still Accommodation in Swakopmund, which consists of 12 luxury self-catering units. Be Still…

When timing a race in Dundee, team #FinishTime got to experience the awesome hospitality offered by Khaya4u Guesthouse. When literally translated, the word “ekhaya” means home – and that’s just the type of environment our team found there. It offers a quiet, rustic ambience with plenty of charm, and our team members commented that if they hadn’t been there for work, they’d have been in the perfect spot to make a weekend out of checking…

Bloemfontein is one of those towns in which Team #FinishTime often needs a place to rest our heads and break up the drive from Cape Town back to headquarters in Kloof, KwaZulu-Natal. On one such drive, our team had the privilege of spending a night at Westdene Loft Apartments, which is conveniently located in Bloem’s most central suburb and in walking distance of some of the city’s best restaurants. Our team was accommodated in a…

Waters on Willows describes itself as a home-away-from-home environment, and after staying there on a working weekend, Team #FinishTime could not agree more. Thanks to the shady garden with its birdlife and a number of places which invite one to sit and just “chill”, there can be few more relaxing places to go in Gauteng – especially if you’ve done a hard day’s race timing! As a reminder of the tranquil ambience into which you…

There are a couple of events during the course of the year that enable Team #FinishTime to spend some time in Pietermaritzburg, either to time a race or to run registration on behalf of event organisers. The factor that we love most about this Road Lodge is the convenience that it offers. It’s super close to everything in Pietermaritzburg, including the airport, the CBD, the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Pietermaritzburg campus and a variety of schools.…
