Check Into Easy This Easter, City Lodge Hotels Has You Covered

Easter is just around the corner, and whether you’re planning a long weekend escape to the the coast, a cross-border adventure, or a staycation closer to home, there’s one thing you shouldn’t have to worry about: your accommodation looking nothing like the photos.

We’ve all been there. You book something that looks dreamy online, only to check in and find a very different reality. City Lodge Hotels calls it “flatfishing” and this April, they’re offering travellers across South Africa a reliable escape with their SOS – Save Our Stay offer: up to 30% off your stay, just go to https://saveourstay.co.za

Simply tap the SOS button, find your nearest property, and check in with confidence. No dodgy surprises. Just a clean, comfortable and well-located hotel that looks exactly like the listing.

If you’re heading to Cape Town this Easter long weekend, City Lodge Hotels has six well-placed properties to make it the perfect base. From the stylishly reimagined City Lodge Hotel V&A Waterfront with canal-facing rooms, an all-South-African wine bar and a sleek co-working space to the budget-friendly Road Lodge Cape Town International Airport, there’s a hotel to suit every kind of traveller and every budget.

Cape Town in late summer is a dream: warm days, golden evenings and a city buzzing with holiday energy. Spend Good Friday at the Kirstenbosch picnic concert or the V&A Waterfront. On Saturday, head into the winelands the Spier Light Art exhibition runs until 6 April or take the Table Mountain cable car for breathtaking views. Easter Sunday calls for Boulders Penguin Colony, Camps Bay and a browse through the Bay Harbour Market in Hout Bay. And before you leave on Monday, hop on a City Sightseeing Red Bus and explore the colour-drenched streets of Bo-Kaap.

City Lodge Hotel GrandWest (Cape Dutch charm meets mountain views), City Lodge Hotel Pinelands (leafy, family-friendly and close to the airport), Town Lodge Bellville (fresh refurb with Tygerberg Valley views) and Road Lodge N1 City (smart, affordable and centrally located) round out the Cape Town portfolio.

Beyond the border: three Easter escapes you haven’t considered

If a proper Easter adventure is on the cards, City Lodge Hotels also has three international properties worth the trip. A valid South African passport and a sense of wanderlust is all you need.

Maputo, Mozambique  just an hour by air or a scenic 5-6 hour self-drive from Johannesburg, City Lodge Hotel Maputo sits at the heart of a city defined by Afro-Portuguese architecture, world-class piri-piri prawns and a buzzing street culture. April is a sweet spot weather-wise: warm, with the rainy season winding down. Don’t miss Mercado Central, the Maputo Fortress or a boat trip to Inhaca Island for snorkelling and untouched beaches.

City Lodge Hotels also has properties in Gaborone, Botswana and Windhoek, Namibia  each offering its own unique culture, wildlife and city experience, and all just a short flight or drive from South Africa’s major centres. Prefer to stay closer to home? KwaZulu-Natal is equally well-served with three properties in Umhlanga and two in Durban, City Lodge Hotels puts you within easy reach of the east coast’s best beaches, buzzing promenades and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. A long weekend on the KZN coast practically plans itself.

No misleading listings, no holiday disappointments. Whether you’re touching down in Cape Town or crossing a border for something more adventurous, City Lodge Hotels has your Easter covered and thanks to the SOS offer, at a price that makes it even easier to say yes.
