The city area is packed with hotels but because of its close proximity to the attractions, it makes their rates expensive. And while being in the hustle and bustle is fun, sometimes a break is good too. Staying outside of the city can help you save costs and have unique experiences. And if you rent a car, you can easily be at the attractions in no time.
My top three places to look at:
Yes, the Test Kitchen is apparently amazing and Greenhouse is great. But do you really need to spend a few thousand rands on a meal? If you eat locally and eat cheaply, you can save yourself a lot of money.
But where to eat? Here are my three:
Uber and transfers add up fast! As do tours! You can save yourself a lot of money by renting a small car and driving yourself! You will also be able to explore at your own pace and stop along the way. Make sure you have your international licence if you are coming from abroad.
I am a wine love and a bargain hunter at heart. So I also find cheaper places to taste and buy wine. Places where you can experience deep complexities in your wine while having a less noticeable drop in your bank balance. Going off the beaten track and doing some research ahead of time can save you money and find you better wine.
