Hence let me direct you in the absolute best available in SA as they have just been starred as the best according to the Sanlam Top Destinations' Awards that I recently attended. So whether it is a Caravan Camping, Backpackers, Lodge or Hotel there is definitely somewhere for every budget.
On the 6th of September 2016, the Sanlam Top Destination awards ceremony was held at The Bay Hotel in Camps Bay and 28 accommodation establishments walked away with the title, ‘Sanlam Top Destination Awards Winner’. An incredible achievement and evening commemorating those in the hospitality industry, it shows recognition to those who truly deserve it.
With title sponsor, Sanlam, and powered by Discount Traveler South Africa, the awards ceremony pulled out all the stops to ensure a special African Elegance evening. Each table incorporated a stunning centre piece with giant proteas, succulents, driftwood and rocks, all carefully put together by Fynbosch Flora, reiterating the African Elegance theme. Decorative instalments in-line with the theme were also strategically placed around the venue by To-Nett’s Décor Hire, creating an ambience of elegance integrating African inspired décor throughout.
The Master of Ceremonies was the gorgeous Jen Su, international TV and Radio Presenter.Discount Traveler South Africa awarded the finalists with R10 000’s worth of advertising and a finalist certificate and the 28 winners each walked away with the title of Top Destination in their category and star grading, receiving a winners certificate and trophy, as well as their share in R1 000 000’s worth of advertising!
