Where to Stay?

When deciding what accommodation to book in this beautiful town, there are a couple of aspects to keep in mind:

• What do you expect to be included? Some people want a breakfast included, whereas others prefer to make their own breakfast plans. What makes self-catering a good option is that you are in charge of your own meals. This means you can decide what you want to eat and when you want to eat it. Graaff-Reinet has an excellent variety of restaurants to choose from. Self-catering accommodation also provides a kitchenette where you can prepare your own meals.
• How eager are you to get to your location? Being in a rush and just passing through Graaff-Reinet, or you wanting to stay a bit longer will have an influence on what type of accommodation you select. Self-catering is the better choice when you want to hit the road early and you cannot wait around for breakfast. You can leave any time you want and have a meal wherever you want.
• What are you willing to pay? Accommodation costs also have a major influence on where you stay. Bed and breakfast guest houses will be the more expensive option, because of the meals included. Self-catering, even though you pay for your meals somewhere else, will generally be more affordable.
• Do you have any pets? Not all accommodation types are pet-friendly. In Graaff-Reinet we have a list of pet-friendly accommodation options for you to choose from.
• Bedroom space? The living areas and bedrooms of self-catering accommodation are often more spacious than that of bed-and-breakfast establishments. This is primarily because, with self-catering units, more things are included, like a kitchenette with kitchenware and dining room tables.
