Breaks In Rustenburg – Rustenburg Hotels

Posted January 26, 2010 by BookingBuddy

Can’t wait for the arrival of warmer weather? Then how about escaping to the sub-tropical climes of Rustenburg to soak up some sun? This tranquil town in South Africa is a gateway to a few stunning game and nature reserves, where adventurous types can come face to face with large animals.

Stay

Kedar Country Hotel – This hotel and spa provides a relaxing hideaway for those of you needing a break from city life. The rustic-looking huts are built with stone and thatch, and decorated with cheerful, vibrant prints that reflect the area’s cultural heritage. The rooms may be simply furnished, but who would want to spend much time moping indoors when the scenery outside is so stunning? The Armoury restaurant is decorated with relics from the Boer War - including a replica cannon- and serves traditional South African fare. Room rates start at about £75.

Sun City Resort - This sprawling luxury resort is a little bit of Las Vegas that somehow landed in South Africa. Even if you’re not staying in one of the four hotels, it’s worth taking a day trip to this lavish resort just for a look at its various attractions. The complex boasts several casinos, a spa, and two lush 18-hole golf courses - the Lost City course has 38 live crocodiles in its water feature!

Eat

Cape Town Fish Market – Its name is a bit of a misnomer, as the Cape Town Fish Market is actually located in Rustenburg, and offers more than just fish. The menu draws on the country’s bountiful produce, and offers up astoundingly fresh fish, as well as prime examples of beef and lamb. Customers who want a taste of South African fare can opt for a bowl of potjie – a large, hearty stew with either chicken, prawn or seafood.
