Dio Dell'Amore - Jeffrey's Bay Eastern Cape (CLOSE, CHEAP & AWESOME)

We found the most divine place to stay in the Eastern Cape, in Jeffrey's Bay, which is about an hour from Port Elizabeth. IT IS STUNNING, and perfect, as its look like the priciest joint but is REALLY reasonable. It fits in perfectly with this months CLOSE, CHEAP & AWESOME feature in TRAVEL & RELAXATION.

Meet....
This is a beautiful Guest House, in a Beautiful Area of South Africa, and for a Sea View Suite, starting at R 450 per person per night, we thought this was a perfect find. So dying to go, you will too. 

Dio Dell'Amore Guest House reflects the opulence of Tuscany and is situated right on the shoes of the Kabeljauws River Mouth. 

This FIVE STAR Guest House is set in a tranquil escape that any discerning traveller would appreciate. 
The approach is warm and totally welcoming and their service ensures that guests individual needs are catered for. Its a totally relaxed atmosphere with optimum convenience and comfort. You will enjoy beautiful breaker views, ocean scenery, with Dolphins & Whales alike, and a Lagoon, with all the water sports you need and want, and then there's the mountains....heaven. 

Its really stunning.....for more information, please visit them @ www.diodellamore.com

Look...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And then there is J-Bay....WOW...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  & the Kabeljou River Mouth...

THE WINDMILLS RESORT - Midlands, Kwa-Zulu Natal (CHEAP, CLOSE & AWESOME VACATIONS)

Another close, affordable and utterly awesome vacation, our feature this month in TRAVEL & RELAXATION. 

So glad we found this one, meet...
This seems like such a special place, STUNNING SERENE VIEWS, each lodge with its 'own' 'private' Natal Midlands Garden. Its incredible the way they have laid this property and its lodges out, each seeming to stand alone, isolated from anything and everything else, every view, inside and out seeming to be so far from other people, but animals seem to have freedom of your beautiful 'yard'...the way it should be. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. 

The lodges are designed with so much potential, you can imagine do so much more from a decor perspective yet its perfect at the same time, its modest, its simple, its peaceful, its uncluttered. The building design of each is what you want for your own home, or home away from homes, each with its own Jacuzzi & Braai Deck, forcing you to do nothing but mingle with loved ones and yourself, taking in the outdoors and the perfect green pastures. LOVE NATAL. LOVE THE WINDMILL RESORT.

And other than the self-catering lodges, 9 of them, there the country hotel, a stunning restaurant, conference facility and wedding venue that is breathtaking with its glass front view.

Their rates are so reasonable as well, starting at R375 p/person sharing...can do that yes?!

OLD MAC DADDY - Elgin Valley, Western Cape (CHEAP, CLOSE & AWESOME VACATIONS)

OMG, Finally discovered GETAWAY Magazine, like,REALLY discovered it, hooked, they make life so much easier to find what you want, where you want it and at prices that'l make you feel financially secure...SO FRIGGING HAPPY. They are making our research job so much more fun, finding places for you to visit, but please don't wait for us to report on what they write about, they will do a much better job than we will, we are just filling you in on what we found whilst searching the Internet for CHEAP & CLOSE ACCOMMODATION, but this time in Cape Town. (See bottom of age for more options)

Looks what we have for this weeks TRAVEL RELAXATION section, courtesy of GETAWAY Magazine... 



This is like PIMP-MY-RIDE goes Trailer Park,but in a SUPER COOL & COMPLETELY CLEVER WAY, ITS UNIQUE, ITS A TOTAL MUST DO AND SEE,....its like an acid trip without the acid, this is the ultimate playground, for anyone, its set in the most beautiful place we've encountered yet, its elegant on the outside and totally wicked on the inside......FRIGGING LOVE THIS PLACE TOO. 

Old Mac Daddy consist of ten trailer suites, two lake-side units and a family farm house, or as they call it, Daddy's Villa. EACH of the trailer suites is in a world of its own, its like each has its own special little life that was nurtured to be exactly what it wanted to be when it grew up, and each is special creation of "Airstream" Trailers, with its own theme, style and feeling. Its all honestly quite weird and strangely wonderful, and no you cant attach a trailer to your vehicle and steal it...DADDY will be very cross.

All the lakeside suites have additional living areas and decks, which allows for light filled lounging and time out. An en-suite bathroom with shower adds to the luxury of the most beautiful and delectably delightful odd holiday ever. 

They have an awesome Barn, Restaurant & Grolsch Bar, which is more of an off-piste designer ski-lodge, sans snow flakes, boasting dramatic agrarian vistas and vibe. Food is healthy, wholesome and there are treats throughout the day, featuring fresh & local ingredients for big appetites. 

There is so much going on here, you may overstay your welcome, or sneak into someone Else's trailer...you can picnic, swim in the pool or dam, braai, there's a designer kiddies area, library, tours to and from wherever you want to go, why'd you'd leave once you arrive, we don't know, because the sole reason you come here is to get away,its close enough to Cape Town for a Capetownian to get away and feel it, and far enough for a travelling Vaalie or foreigner but you come to here to chill, to take in the beauty of the landscape and beauty that surrounds you, its like going to grandmas house on the farm, and letting her spoil you. (Grated this Grandma was kooked, but we love her all the same.) 

Seriously, and its not expensive....their rates are totally reasonable, and more than worth it.
