Every Wednesday we meet on Twitter under hash-tag #TravelChatSA to talk about South Africa. Past Wednesday our subject was: “Accommodation in SA”.
Check out TOP 20 comments form that evening below.
Q1: When traveling do you prefer to stay in big or small hotels, lodges, resorts, guest houses or self catering units? Why?
Exclusive Getaways @ExclusivGetaway – I generally find small lodges are more personalised, the hospitality more custom-made for each guest #TravelChatSA
Leana Brink @leanab87 – lodges in South Africa!! You get to experience our culture & surrounding & see what SA is all about! #TravelChatSA
ExoTravels @ExoTravels – We prefer staying at self catering & B&Bs because it’s more private, relaxed & intimitate. #TravelChatSA
WorldwideXplorer LLC @WorldwideXplore – When traveling, I prefer to stay in a relaxed, home-like environment. Usually in smaller establishments. #TravelChatSA
