In a world of wanderlust, jet-setting, and far-flung adventures, we often forget to explore the hidden gems right in our own backyard. 

If you’re a traveller living in a nearby big city and are seeking an affordable staycation, this December 2023 is the perfect time to consider visiting our small town during the festive holiday. 

Here are some great reasons why a visit to our small town can be the best kind of holiday:

Although We Are a Big Town, Here You Can Escape The City Grind

City life can be hectic, with its constant noise and traffic, and its relentless pace. Nelspruit offers an escape from the urban chaos, providing tranquillity, peace, and a chance to recharge your batteries. The slower pace of life can be incredibly refreshing.

Discover our Local Culture

Small towns are often repositories of local culture and traditions, and Nelspruit is no exception. When you visit here, you can experience our authentic cuisine, arts and markets. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of what makes our corner of the world such a special place to have a holiday.

Staying Locally is Affordable

One of the most significant advantages of any small town staycation is its affordability. Accommodation, including ours at Nelspruit Lodge, dining, and the various activities typically come at a fraction of the cost you’d incur if you visited a major tourist destination. 

Nelspruit offers Personalised Hospitality

Nelspruit is renowned for its friendly and personalised hospitality. You’ll receive a warm welcome everywhere you go, often building genuine connections with the locals. It’s the kind of attention and service that is hard to find in big cities.

We have the Epic Outdoor Adventures

If you’re a nature enthusiast, small towns are often gateways to outdoor adventures. Many of them are nestled near national parks, hiking trails, and water bodies, offering opportunities for activities like hiking, kayaking, and bird watching.

We have Local, Interesting Businesses

When you visit our small town, you’re supporting local economies and if you attend the local markets you are helping small businesses thrive. And if you visit the town in December, you can buy all of your Christmas gifts from the many local markets.

We are a Great Place for a Digital Detox 

In the age of screens and constant connectivity, escaping to a small town can offer the perfect setting to unplug and reconnect with nature, your loved ones, and yourself. Here you can savour the simple pleasures of life without the distractions of modern urban living.

When planning your next getaway, consider the hidden treasures that await you when you choose to stay in a local small town, like Nelspruit.
