cheap places

im looking for cheap places...and suggestions...with prices?

A hostel will probably be your best bet. There are plenty to choose from.

When we visited Cape Town I searched around the net for info's & reviews.

We opted for an hostel that was up International Hostelling Standards - as these usually have fulfil specific safety level & standards of cleanliness.

Our choice was the "Ashanti Lodge" as at that time a free pickup from the airport was offered. It was also in a reasonably "safe" area of town.

It was a pleasant hostel - if travelling by yourself stay in the main building - but for couples there are rooms in a quieter annexe 100m down the road.

Check out the official S.A site for the various options.

thanks for ur advice piggy!!!.......im looking ideally for a clean basic single room with shower and toilet.

IDeally for under 12 UKP about 186 R.

ideas, names and prices appreciated!

Hello Paula,
I am William. We will made reservation for Ashanti in an Double room w/bath. Do you see this type of rooms? Are clean?
Otherwise we will travel from Cape Town to Victoria Falls. Do you know the route? Some additional info of Cape Town? Restaurants-Thinks to do etc...?
Thanks in advance for yr help.
William.

We found the rooms at Ashanti better than we expected. We were given one in the annexe - just down the road which is quieter than the main hostel. The hostel also does a free pick-up from the airport.

The hostel also has a travel agency - the prices for trips looked very reasonable & you can ask questions without any pressure to buy from them.

We didn't venture to Victoria Falls ( - my partner who is a Capey tells me it's a very long way - something like 2000 miles at a rough guess. He reckons it's best to go on an organised trip as getting to V.Falls (in Zimbabwe)by road isn't necessarily safe for the tourist.

Hope you have a great trip.
