Cheaper Option When Staying in Onrus
Whenever you travel to another country or place, if you’re not going to stay with family or friends then you are going to be hit with a hotel bill at some time or another. To a lot of us that’s not really a problem, however, there is a cheaper and usually a more enjoyable way of seeing the country, staying in great locations and not breaking the bank at the same time. We’re talking about bed and breakfasts here – something of a staple almost everywhere else other than America.
Onrus River is a small, tranquil village situated 8km from Hermanus. Here, 120km from Cape Town, in the heart of the Whale Route, surrounded by the splendor of the Cape Floral Kingdom, visitors can experience the restoration of their body, mind and soul as they stay at a Onrus B&B.
The idea is excellent – you simply pay per night for your room and breakfast, and that’s all you pay for. The frills and extra’s that you pay for in a hotel – you know, antiseptic yet not clean rooms, knowing there’s 4 or 5 hundred other people all staying in exactly the same style and type of room as you, the ice machine that doesn’t work etc. – are all taken away from you when you are forced to spend less, receive more in the way of uniqueness and quality and receive personal attention instead of been regarded as a walking dollar sign, when you use bed and breakfasts.
Onrus accommodation is plentiful and is also bounded by unspoilt surrounds. It lies nestled between a sandy swimming beach popular for surfing, a great tidal pool, the mountain and the lagoon. The green belt behind the beach is relatively safe from any proposed development, making it a wonderful holiday destination.
Although this type of temporary lodging solution has been around forever it seems in most other areas of the world, America is still playing catch-up, but there are now dozens of small inn’s and bed and breakfasts popping up all over the country, especially in the more rural and less heavily trafficked destinations around the country.
So for usually about half of the cost of a hotel, with breakfast included that doesn’t consist of runny scrambled eggs and half raw sausage, you can stay in one of these new fangled bed and breakfasts, and really enjoy your stay instead of worrying about..well, instead of worrying about anything. Enjoy!
Visitors from near and far flock to Onrus town to enjoy its many charms while local residents and homeowners savour the privilege of living in this unique region.
