Cranky Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 I'm planning to ride the Seweweekspoort MTB race in October and am looking for a place to stay before and after the race, in and around Ladismith. I'd appreciate recommendations from previous riders? Thanks.
AndreZA Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Me too' date=' need more info on the race ect.[/quote'] more then this? http://gardenroute.org/7weekspoort/index.html
Cranky Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 There are some links to accommodation, and I've e-mailed a few. I wanted to know if anyone had a really good experience anywhere?
zerocool Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 my Mom have a farm out there and have accommodation in cottages on the farm. (van Wyksdorp) I MTB there quite a lot.
Cranky Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 Lucky you! How far from Ladismith? Any web site address? Thanks.
zerocool Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 There is a Full size rugby field on the farm also. not that far from Ladysmith, around 50 or so.. no website, pm me for contact details. Its quite cheap and self catering or you can organize with catering etc.. believe me, you will have fun!
KevinV Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 There is actually accommodation in the poort too, think the cottage is called "Aristata" or something like that.
KevinV Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Just googled "aristata seweweekspoort" and found it. Check it out.
HomerSimpson Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Stayed in a cottage in town last year. Was great. Will see if I can find the details. Will probably not be able to make this year's ride.
Cranky Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 Thanks. I'd prefer to be near town because there appear to be festivities after the race. But a farm stay also might be good for a ride the next morning, if we're up to it! Aristata looks good, thanks.Cranky2008-08-25 06:33:19
Madala Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Hi Ladismith Country House is on the route and about 7km from Ladismith. Outstanding food etc. but I see that it has got a bit on the expensive side since I stayed there for the race just after the current owners had taken it over. www.lcountryhouse.co.za otherwise look at www.route62.co.za Enjoy.
