Easter is just around the corner and for those who are hoping to get away for a while, an escape to the Lowveld is absolutely something that can revive your mind and ease your soul, just before you head back to work for the rest of the year.
The Lowveld is a perfect mix of city living and that quiet bushveld lifestyle that many people long for while sitting at their office desks, dreaming about escaping from it all. In this part of the world, there is so much to enjoy and you can choose to have a wildlife glamping getaway or you can look forward to a laid back city adventure, complete with testing all of the delicious local restaurants.
As the Easter Weekend is fast approaching, getting ready for your big getaway by exploring a few options when it comes to places to stay is the only way to go. There is a variety of options to choose from, which range from luxury romantic places to those more rustic laidback places that offer plenty of opportunity to unwind.

For the 4 day weekend, these are our choices of accommodation in the area.
