World Cup Accomidations Please Help!!

[USA]

My husband and I are looking for the cheapest and safest way to stay in Johansburg, Rustenburg area for the entire month of the games. Can we rent an apt? Can we stay with a family? Can we camp? Can we rent a motorhome? Any suggestions on the best solution would be great. Thanks so much, Shanti

Hi Shanti,

We have a cottage that can accommodate 4 max (2 comfortably). We are in Johannesburg. Rustenburg is about 1.5 - 2 hours drive away. Unfortunately Rustenburg is booming at the moment and accommodation is in short supply. I will PM you with details etc.

Shanti,

Can't PM you as you are too new I think. You can try PM me if possible or post a few more times to enable PM function.

Regards
Gary

Gary,
Thank you we are interested. I've also checked out campgrounds and it seem that could work. Will the weather be OK for that? Forgive me I am new to this site and not sure how to navigate yet. I've adjusted my privacy settings maybe that will help. I'm not sure what PM means.

Thanks, Shanti

Hi Shanti,

PM = Private message.

Camping in June (our winter) is possible but not enjoyable at all. On the "highveld", Johannesburg/Rustenburg/Pretoria region the max daily temp is about 18deg celcius (usually about 14-18 deg) and drops to zero at night. Although very very little chance of rain, camping will not be such a fun experience unless you buy the right kit which can be expensive in South Africa.

Can you please tell me more about the cottage? Thanks for the advice on camping. We have a nice backpacking tent and sleeping bags that will keep us warm. It is an option, yet I would like some shelter.

Shanti,

It is a one bedroom (twin or double) with en-suite bathroom and open plan kitchen/lounge area. The lounge has a double sleeper couch and satellite TV. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, microwave and all small apliances. It also has a small patio with BBQ. You will also have access to the swimming pool but very much doubt that will be of interest due to the weather. The house is situated within a boomed community and has electric fencing and gate as well as secure parking.

Price is US$75 pppn on a self catering basis.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Gary.
