Our gates are locked at night, for the safety of our guests. Prior arrangement need to be made with Reception, if you need to enter or leave after 7pm. If no prior arrangements are made, there will be a charge of R100 per entry or departure, as we will need to get staff in after hours to open gates. Please note that NO LATE NIGHT ARRIVALS will be accepted, as this disturbs other sleeping guests.

Can I host my event or function at Westvaal Holiday Resort ?

Yes, you can host your event or function at Westvaal Holiday Resort! However, it will depend on the group size and the dates. We consider all event requests, but they must ensure the comfort and tranquility of our overnight guests. Please contact us with the details of your event, and we will be happy to discuss the possibilities.

Do you offer long term camping ?

Yes, we do offer long-term camping! Rates depend on the number of guests, including adults, pensioners, and children. The duration of your stay and the specific dates will also influence the pricing. Long-term guests will be allocated specific campsites, each equipped with a prepaid electricity meter. Please note that setups for long-term stays must meet specific minimum standards for neatness and appearance. Please contact us to discuss your requirements, and we will provide you with a detailed quote.

Do you accept group bookings ?

Yes, we do accept group reservations! However, acceptance depends on the group size and the dates. This policy applies to both overnight and day visitors. Please note that group bookings will only be considered if they do not disturb our other overnight guests or visitors. If your group requires exclusive use of the resort, this can be arranged at a premium rate. Additionally, catering options are available for groups. To ensure availability and proper arrangements, please make group booking requests well in advance. Please contact us with your group details, and we will be happy to discuss the options.

Why Do You Have Minimum Stays Over Weekends, Long Weekends, and School Holidays ?

We have minimum stay requirements over weekends, long weekends, and school holidays to ensure that all our guests have the best possible experience. These periods are in high demand, and longer stays help us manage reservations more efficiently, allowing more families and groups to enjoy our facilities without frequent turnover. This policy also ensures a more relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for all guests, reducing the hustle and bustle of frequent check-ins and check-outs. Additionally, to provide the best service and maintain affordability, we need to maximize the occupancy of our units. When guests book for only one night, it often leaves the unit unoccupied for the rest of the weekend. Minimum stays help us avoid this situation, ensuring that our units are available for guests who wish to enjoy a full weekend or holiday stay.
