Top picks for School holidays with the family
ANEW Hotel Green Point – Cape Town
A great base for exploring the Mother City. Families can enjoy a rooftop pool, easy access to the Sea Point Promenade, and quick trips to attractions like the V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain. Perfect if you want to mix beach time with sightseeing.
ANEW Hotel Hluhluwe – KwaZulu-Natal
If your family has been dreaming of a safari, Hluhluwe is the spot. Spend your mornings on game drives and your afternoons unwinding by the pool. Kids love the chance to spot elephants, giraffes, and lions up close, while parents appreciate the slower evenings around the hotel.
