Festival Accommodation

QUESTION: We are considering going to the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown in July. Could you recommend accommodation? - John Arnold

ANSWER: The festival website (www.nafest.co.za) has a vast list of all accommodation available, including from hotels, guest houses, bed and breakfasts, university residences, school hostels, homestays and campsites. (Tel: 046-603 1103, fax: 046-622 3082). An option that tickled my fancy was the 'Kreef Hotel', a tented bed and breakfast hotel which has its roots at the Oppikoppi Music Festival. Live in a pre-pitched tent with mattress and bedding, dine in a big marquee and sit around a 24-hour fireplace when you're not show-hopping. Sounds like a great idea.
