Are you a Bath or a Shower person?

The advocates for a bath would say 'how could you not'?! Especially with a lit candle and a view to top it off. But in all seriousness, one cannot deny that a soak in a hot bath does wonders for the soul. For those who do it solo, it offers an escape, some time to be alone with your thoughts. For those who do it together, it offers a space to be intimate and spend some quality time together.

For the shower lovers, there is nothing quite like a steaming shower. The only thing that can level this up is an OUTDOOR steaming shower - and even better, a shower with a view. There is something simply satisfying about standing below a stream of high pressure water, washing away reality in a short space of time. 

In this blog we explore some delightful stays across South Africa that go above and beyond to make this seemingly mundane daily task of self-cleansing a memorable or even magical one. 

It would be wrong not to preach our support on not wasting water. This is a precious and finite resource so always be mindful of using it wisely. A long shower or a soak in the bath should be viewed as a treat, indulged once in a while - we give you full liberty to bath or shower, guilt-free, at these wonderful locations.
