I did my first W2W in the form of the Adventure last year, and opted for the tented accommodation (we wanted to experience this at least once). What we couldn't foretell was the storm that came through, making a massive mud pit out of the rugby field the tent village was situated on. At least we were able to choose our tents early on (close-ish to the start and most importantly, on dry ground), but they were situated almost directly across from the two guys who won the luxury tents in the lucky draw (can't say we weren't a bit jealous at the time). Would it be worth it to fork that amount out to stay in the luxury tents? If you can afford it, why not, but they had to walk through the same mud to get to the showers etc. For me, I'd either stay in the basic tents, or opt for a guest house. Having the privilege of living in Hermanus, this year we're opting to drive through rather.
