If Team #FinishTime were to be asked to paint a picture of paradise, they may very well paint a picture of Shore’s Edge Guesthouse in Hermanus. However, since we are race timers and definitely not painters, our words will have to suffice. As the name implies, Shore’s Edge is located right on the Hermanus seafront, offering an outdoor pool as well as a wrap-around balcony from which to enjoy the majestic 180-degree sea views. The…

One of the many things that Team #FinishTime loves about Cape Town Lodge Hotel & Conference Centre is its location. Being in the very heart of Cape Town means that it’s super easy for members of our team to get to any meeting or any race. If you’re there on holiday, rather than for work, you have the major advantage of having easy access to a wide range of tourist attractions including the V&A Waterfront,…

One of Team #FinishTime’s favourite spots when we need overnight accommodation in the Western Cape is Swartberg Street Guest House in the charming town of Laingsburg, which is the gateway to the Great Karoo. Good old-fashioned hospitality is a way of life here, and the units are equipped with comfortable double or single beds, kitchens and braai facilities – but meals are also available if you don’t want to cook, which is often a popular…

With the spectacular views of Cape Town that our race timers have enjoyed from the Southern Sun Cape Sun, it’s no wonder that they are always keen to go back. From Table Mountain and Table Bay right to Robben Island, the views are hard to forget. The facilities offered by this hotel are rather memorable as well — these include a fitness centre, indoor pool and a spa. For those needing to host a conference,…
