Accommodation at Elephant Springs Hotel & Apartments

This past winter, Elephant Springs Hotel underwent an extensive makeover of its bedrooms, resulting in a fresh and vibrant ambiance. Each bedroom now features captivating Afro-Pop art creations, specially designed to infuse a 50s-inspired charm. The background of these art pieces boasts intricate shweshwe patterns, adding a touch of uniqueness to each room.

Moreover, guests can indulge in an upgraded entertainment experience, thanks to the brand-new Smart TV in every room, offering complimentary access to popular streaming platforms like Netflix, ShowMax, and YouTube. While DStv isn’t provided, guests can easily log into their own DStv streaming accounts during their stay.

Additionally, complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire building, ensuring guests stay connected. Each air-conditioned bedroom is equipped with a convenient bar fridge.

The hallways of Elephant Springs Hotel have also undergone a stunning transformation. A new raised ceiling with gracefully curved edges now resembles the interior of a train, creating a unique visual appeal. The ceilings are elegantly-painted in black, complemented by gold-painted exposed pipes and skirting.

This modern and sleek design, coupled with hidden lighting, transports guests to a whole new world. Even the room numbers have received a makeover, with shiny gold lettering against a round black background, reminiscent of train compartment numbers.

Elephant Springs Apartments revamp

Adjacent to the hotel, the Elephant Springs Apartments also reopened in July last year after undergoing renovations. The apartments offer self-catering accommodation in spacious 3-bedroom units.

Each unit boasts a comfortable lounge area with a Smart TV, also providing access to the popular streaming platforms available at the hotel. This upgrade is part of South of Africa’s commitment to enhancing guest experiences.

The restaurant within Elephant Springs Hotel has also undergone a subtle yet impactful transformation. Its standout feature is the bright red wall, serving as the central focal point of the dining area, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
