Accommodation portal, Accommodation Direct<\/a><\/strong> has released\u00a0data on the most expensive and most affordable holiday destinations in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The data is drawn from 15,000 of the group’s accommodation listings from over 2,000 areas in South Africa, reviewed over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

According to the group, the average holiday\u00a0stay in South Africa is just\u00a03.6\u00a0nights, though this changes from province to province. In the Western Cape, for instance, the average stay extends to 4 nights, compared to only 1.7 nights in the Free state.<\/p>\n

To\u00a0determine\u00a0the most expensive and luxurious destinations,\u00a0the website\u00a0looked at the price per listing per night of the top 20 most expensive listings in each area based on advertised rates.<\/p>\n

“The clear hot-spots are the Atlantic Seaboard in the Western Cape and luxury game reserves in Mpumalanga. No surprises here, the Camps Bay\/Clifton beaches are South Africa\u2019s answer to the French Riviera and our game parks are well-managed and well-stocked with a variety of game,” it said.<\/p>\n

Clifton topped the list at a per-night price of R28,513, followed by Cape Town at R22,775 and the Sabi Sands Game Reserve at R13,550 a night.<\/p>\n

The company also compiled data\u00a0looking at the most economical destinations – this was done by taking the\u00a0price per listing per night for the “budget traveller”, reviewing the 20 most affordable accommodation in each area.<\/p>\n

“The spread is pretty even, showing there are great affordable options (mostly self-catering, campsites or backpacker) in most destinations across South Africa,” Accommodation Direct said.<\/p>\n

“What is most evident is that the list shows a mix of bookings in both big city suburbs and small towns in remote places.”<\/p>\n
