Planning ahead pays off!

Some of my clients plan around 12 months ahead and it really does help them to save money, not only does it spread the cost, making the total seem less, but they pick up a great price too.

So if you are one of those people that each year says, we should plan our holiday now but doesn't get round to it, you need me! Let's have a chat, find the perfect holiday and you can settle into a nice relaxing countdown with a lot less stress!

It is time to pick up the phone

Isn't this a stunning Journey for you to take on your next adventure?

Explore South Africa on this classic route taking in Cape Town, the Winelands, Garden Route and Eastern Cape.

3 nights Victoria & Alfred, Cape Town Waterfront: The first to open on the V&A Waterfront, this hotel still boasts an enviable location within Cape Town's historic harbour.

2 nights Maison Chablis, Franschhoek: Aptly translating to “the home of wine”, this intimate guest house is situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands.

1 night Rothman Manor, Swellendam: With three thatched houses in the famous Cape Dutch architecture, going back to 1834, Rothman Manor is privacy within leafy Swellendam.

4 nights The Robberg Beach Lodge, Plettenberg Bay: A tranquil, beachside haven nestled in the heart of the world-famous Garden Route.

3 nights Kuzuko Lodge Hotel: Known not only for being a breathtaking “place of glory” (its name in Xhosa), Kuzuko is set on 14,500-hectares of a private Big 5 reserve in the Greater Addo area.

1 night The Paxton Hotel, Port Elizabeth: Discover a vibrant urban lifestyle in the heart of the Nelson Mandela Metropole, with the backdrop of Port Elizabeth Harbour.
