Self-catering accommodation is available for people who want to stay in an area for a while but do not want to pay the high cost of staying in a hotel. Therefore Feel at Home, a well-established organisation in the business of fully furnished, self-catering accommodation, gives the following advice when choosing accommodation for your needs.

It is a good idea to make sure that you are located close to a main road. You may need to use a car as a good alternative to local transport. Then this is a very tip to remember. It is also quite important to make sure that if you need to stay a bit longer that you have the option of doing so with the arrangements that you have made. There are always unforeseen events that occur and therefore this is quite and important point, because it would be highly inconvenient to have to move out and find other accommodation. For more information regarding self-catering accommodation please contact Feel at Home.

Providing quality furnished accommodation is the driver of Feel at Home. Feel at home was founded by a man who one day decided that he had had enough of stayin an uncomfortable hotel, so he came up with the idea of creating the feeling of stying in a home when you are away from home. The idea has expanded and now this service offereing appeals to many markets.

Buying a new house of home, has become too expensive for most south Africans therefore this option has become so popular. Another reason is the privacy that can be enjoyed by staying in your own place, where you don’t have people constantly passing your door and making a noise at three o’ clock in the morning. And another great reason why people go for this option is because it allows you the freedom to walk around in a garden, a luxury that you would not have had in a hotel where you just have you four walled room. Contact Feel at Home for more information on  Furnished Accommodation.

“South Africa can confidently say that it has enough accommodation for the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup,” the Minister of Tourism, Marthinus van Schalkwyk said on the 8th of December 2009.

The National Department of Tourism undertook a study to determine the number of rooms available for the soccer world cup in 2010.  The findings indicate that there is more than 202 000 rooms available in South Africa to accommodate tourists. This is ample rooms for the expected 450 000 soccer fans who will be coming to South Africa in 2010 for the world cup.

From the  audit report the following key findings was highlighted:

* there are at least 18 882 accommodation establishments in South Africa, of which 7 492 are graded and 11 390 are ungraded
* there are at least 202 712 rooms in the country, of which 107 119 are graded and 95 593 are ungraded
* there are at least 7 520 accommodation establishments in host cities (within a 50 kilometre radius of stadiums)
* there are at least 100 853 rooms in host cities (within a 50 kilometre radius of stadiums).

The 202 000 rooms include what Match has been contracted for.

The minister is of the opinion that there is enough rooms to cater for soccer fans.
