Dear Rael & Julia
Sincere apologies for the delay in replying - we came home to find my mum in hospital and it has been quite hectic as you can imagine! We had the most wonderful holiday and as I said to you at the time - we knew when we arrived that we were in for an action packed 14 days!! and it certainly proved to be so.
The service from Golfers Wild was excellent and attentive, to be honest 'everything it said on the tin'. The hotels were of a superb standard and each one had favourite characteristics, We were as pleased with the move down to Camps Bay as we were to be staying at Sea Point - the Ladies who looked after us at Camps Bay could not do enough for us and came in early to work on the days we had early tee times, just to be sure we had our breakfast!!
The Flight to Port Elizabeth with the delightful Kulula airline was a hoot, we really enjoyed the giggle.!! Our two days at Bushman Sands were a wonderful experience, the golf was for millionaires, there were less than 12 people on the course!! though the course is not very old, it was in beautiful condition and the greens were really tricky! The accommodation was fabulous, and the food was excellent, but the game drives were beyond our expectations, bouncing around in those jeeps, was worth every minute - our Ranger Justin, seemed to know just where the animals would be, We have photos of giraffe, zebra, buffalo, rhino, elephants and loads more - it really was amazing!
The evening cruise at Bushman Sands was a lovely way to end our day, especially when they opened the red wine!! The Winelands tour from Capetown was a huge success taking in three vinyards, the Lion sanctuary and the Cheetah park near Stellanbosch. Our final two days in Erinvale were just heaven, the golf course is incredible and the hotel perfect in every way. 
We played six golf courses - all very different and each one a really good challenge, some of them were extremely busy, as you would expect in a city, and some of them further out of the city were quite relaxed. During the holiday we also took in Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape Point, and a tour of the Cape Peninsular, as well as the Winelands tour, and flights up to Bushman Sands for a couple of days, you only have to look at our photos to see how much we packed into 14 days!! By the way the car hire company were really good too!
We loved every minute of our South African experence and would love to visit the Western Cape again, maybe next time with a slightly less hectic schedule. We will, of course, be recommending Golfers Wild to anyone who wants to tailor their holiday to their exact needs. Many thanks and we hope to see you again.
Best regards, Chris & Bill |
