Although some of us like to be homebodies, for those wanting to book a well-deserved getaway, the booking calendars of popular holiday towns, especially close to the beach, are once again bursting at the seams, making a quick getaway or a last-minute booking a daunting task. So what if the holiday dream you’ve been longing for all year doesn’t seem like it will become a reality? <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za//" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LekkeSlaap</a> has some tips that can help.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-045af97ffcd936fa792a504dce0a0cb7\" style=\"color:#ed782d\"><strong>You still have options, maybe just in a different area</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\"><a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/langebaan/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Langebaan</a> and <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/hartenbos/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hartenbos</a>, <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/hermanus/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hermanus</a> and <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/durban/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Durban</a> — South Africans have their fair share of popular summer holiday towns. But, it may be time to consider other locations. If you cast the net a little wider, accommodation is still available during the peak season, just in lesser-known areas. Instead of looking for a stay in a specific coastal town such as Langebaan, Hermanus or <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/umhlanga/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Umhlanga</a>, give the rest of that coastal region a chance and start your search by exploring the <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/west-coast/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">West Coast</a>, <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/south-coast-whale-route/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">South Coast Whale Route</a> or <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/south-coast/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">South Coast</a>. So you can see which towns in the area still have availability. Or even better, break away to a different part of the coast, such as the quieter parts of the <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/wild-coast/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wild Coast</a> or the coastal villages of <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/namaqualand/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Namaqualand</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image img-responsive\"><a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation/yellowwood-forest-camping-and-accommodation/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" src=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://tvg-blog.imgix.net/uploads/2024/12/2-Yellowwood-Forest-Backpackers.jpg?auto=enhance,format,compress&q=80\%22 alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57881\"/></a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Places on quieter parts of the coast, such as this place on the Wild Coast, have a greater chance of availability.</figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e5ab7439d71fec00396c866ebcf8c265\" style=\"color:#ed782d\"><strong>Look around your favourite holiday town</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Suppose you can’t imagine going too far from your usual, beloved holiday town, you can manage your destinations by using LekkeSlaap’s map function and searching around your favourite holiday town. Simply enter your dates, the number of guests and the name of your preferred town. As soon as you land on the search page, you select the ‘Click to view map’ function, allowing you to check on the map which accommodation is still available around the town. All the available options will be displayed as red houses. You can also zoom out the map to see a larger radius around the town. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image img-responsive\"><a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za//" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" src=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://tvg-blog.imgix.net/uploads/2024/12/3.-Kaartfunksie-1024x541-1.jpg?auto=enhance,format,compress&q=80\%22 alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57882\"/></a></figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-08fb17d4c435f98248a118b120081d4e\" style=\"color:#ed782d\"><strong>The sea is not the only place for water fun</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Understandably, you think of the beach first when you hear the words ‘summer vacation’, but the ocean is not the only source of water that can provide summer entertainment. If you want to frolic in the water, why not consider a place to stay near a river or a dam? On LekkeSlaap you can search for accommodation near all of South Africa’s main dams by typing the dam’s name in the search box. You can also use the map function to search for a stay on a river bank where you can go boating, rowing or fishing, or you can simply turn on the swimming pool filter to make sure you book a place to stay with a swimming pool on site.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image img-responsive\"><a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation/orange-river-rafting-lodge/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" src=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://tvg-blog.imgix.net/uploads/2024/12/4.-Oranje-River-Retreat-1024x541-1.jpg?auto=enhance,format,compress&q=80\%22 alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57883\"/></a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Orange River Rafting Lodge is just one example of a waterside destination not along the coast.</figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3f2e0339f0c928ba41af51e733e55030\" style=\"color:#ed782d\"><strong>Visit a village that’s always been on your travel list </strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Be adventurous and break away from the ‘normal vacation’ this summer.

There is no need to give up just because you can’t find a self-catering house. B&Bs, resorts, lodges, hotels and guest houses can also work, besides, these types of accommodation often have a great location, offer facilities to entertain the youngsters, has staff to do the cleaning on your behalf, often offer meals on site (or included in the price) and can make good suggestions on how to explore the area.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image img-responsive\"><a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation/devonvale-golf-wine-estate/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"740\" src=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://tvg-blog.imgix.net/uploads/2020/12/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAA39abdf4a97ba-1.jpg?auto=enhance,format,compress&q=80\%22 alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57860\"/></a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Self-catering is not the only option.

How about putting some of your big holiday plans on hold for the time being and instead planning a short breather just outside the city? That way, you can recharge your batteries but not spend your entire holiday budget on fuel. LekkeSlaap has a nifty ‘Escape from the City’ feature that allows guests to search for accommodation in a specified radius around South Africa’s largest cities, <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/escape-from-cape-town/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cape Town</a>, <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/escape-from-johannesburg/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Johannesburg</a> and <a href=https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/"https://www.lekkeslaap.co.za/accommodation-in/escape-from-durban/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Durban</a>. It makes a quick trip or mid-week break really easy and also tells you how far the accommodation is from the city!
