Why self-catering holidays are so popular

2 min read

Self-catering holidays have become incredibly popular for a variety of reasons. At Aquarius Luxury Suites we offer modern and sophisticated self-catering options that offer a variety of benefits for your next getaway.

The Benefit of Choice

One of the main advantages of self-catering accommodation is the ability to choose your own time schedule, particularly in relation to food. If the need to sleep-in strikes, there is no need to rush to get to breakfast before it closes. You will save money on meals if cooking for yourself, rather than eating at a restaurant. This is a particularly big benefit for families with children – the kids might need to eat earlier than the adults would like to. This ensures that the adults can take their time, while fulfilling their children’s needs. Our fully equipped kitchens thus work the magic you need it to!

Fit to Budget

Due to a vast variety of self-catering accommodations, the holidaymaker can choose accommodation to fit their budget. This is a particularly successful way to travel cheaper.

Adaptable to Group Size

Self-catering accommodation can often be cheaper than hotels when booking for large groups. If the whole family would like to get away, why not book a property that can house a large number of people and split the costs? This is also particularly successful if the goal of the holiday is to spend time together as a family, group of friends, or colleagues. We offer luxury apartments suitable for anywhere from two to eight people.

More Space

This leads on to the next point – space! The benefit of self-catering accommodations is that there are usually some communal areas, such as the lounge and kitchen, where all guests can choose to hang out. And when you need some alone-time, head to your bedroom or go for a swim in our rooftop pool. An introvert’s dream accommodation!

Privacy

Self-catering accommodation usually allows for more privacy than catered accommodation. If you prefer people to remain out of your personal space, self-catering is for you! There is no sharing of breakfast rooms, bathrooms, and lounges. Your space is wholly yours.

Experience Life as a Local

Depending on the location of your accommodation, self-catering can be one of the best options to experience life as a local. If you are situated in a less touristy area, you can shop like a local, travel like a local, and eat like a local! We are located in Bloubergstrand with local shops, restaurants, and nightlife spots nearby, as well as public transport bus stops within close distance.

Ultimately, self-catering holidays are the epitome of freedom and independence when vacationing. It gives you the necessary home comforts, such as privacy, space, and choice. You can experience the life of a local, while maintaining a degree of relaxation expected of a traveller. At Aquarius, you can experience all these benefits!
