Villa and apartment rental has become very popular in South Africa. The reasons for this are because there are a lot of repeat visitors who like to stay a long time in one place and therefore like to make use of a comfortable and often luxurious home with space and facilities.
South Africa is also a very child-friendly destination and as you all know, when traveling with children, it is great to have kitchen facilities to prepare kids meals, heat and wash bottles.
Family groups and groups of friends also enjoy traveling together and a villa is perfect for this as often one can find a very upmarket seaside villa with all the frills and luxuries, for less than a 5 star hotel. These are serviced daily but of course do not offer the things that one finds in hotels like restaurants, room service, laundry etc.
If a villa is too big, there are many apartments for rent and many hotels are also offering this room category now, following the trend toward long stays.
This trend is now being found more and more in the safari lodges, where small private lodges are opening, offering the option of one friend or family group staying in a lodge with their own chef and game ranger, giving an ambience of having your own private safari lodge in Africa ! This is especially fun in a group with young children where they can wander in to the kitchen to help the chef prepare meals and request special meals, and the game drives can be tailored according to the childrens concentration span and last but certainly not least, the children can play freely in the lodge without disturbing other guests..
