This town is fast becoming my favourite place in the Limpopo!
A tropical paradise, stone-throw away from Kruger National Park, warm weather, polite and friendly people.
I am staying at Elmecon B&B on Selati road (http://www.elmecon.co.za/). Graded only 1 star but deserving of atleast 3 stars. Clean; friendly service; efficient check-in process; iron and ironing board; safe; tea/coffee facility; microwave; hair dryer; bottled water; rusks; swimming pool (clean and warm water!!!). Scrumptous and excellently presented food. Clear blue swimming pool, the weather is warm enough to swim all year round in Phalaborwa.
The owners support the Natal Sharks!!!! Can this place get any better.
I was in the green room the first time I was here. Im in the yellow room this time around, loving it. With my yellow PJs, I feel right at home.
If you are considering visiting Phalaborwa, give Elmecon B&B a try!
FYI, Phalaborwa is home of Amarula *wink wink*
Until next time, cheers!

Reno by night light @ the Evander Villas
no joke! the room next to mine is being renovated. there is banging and scratching and all sorts of construction noises. have called reception about it. this is down right disrespectful. I'll be sure to report this the SA tourism.
Testing 123!
Hi there,
This is evidently my first blog. I have been toying with the idea of sharing my thoughts and observations with the world for a while now.
Because of my many passions and talents, I was undecided about what to write about. I love swimming; shopping; dreaming about shopping; window-shopping (yes I love shopping that much!); traveling; facebooking; tweeting; gadgets; photography....
Anyway, I am at the Evander Villas in Evander, Mpumalanga (South Africa). This place is a little overpriced. R695.00 per night. Poor service at Reception; old carpets with an indistinct stench; ancient tv units and air conditioners; the drilling and banging noises from the next room...
In their defence though, they have bottled water and little packets of tissues, oh and most importantly free Wi-fi :)
Frankly, this place could use a little upgrade. Not to contradict myself here, but I have stayed at 'Pendora' and 'Diamond frost' guest houses here in Evander and they simply don't compare to Evander villas. I give this place 3/5
