AFRILEX

7th International Conference
Festival Accommodation

4 March 2002

 

 

Having had a few enquiries for accommodation prior to AFRILEX 2002 during the Festival period, we prepared the table below of agencies that deal with self-catering as well as B&B. Some people bringing families may not want to stay in Rhodes accommodation.

 

Note that we have prepared the document but people should contact the agencies direct!

Offers accommodation, not only during festival times, on either a self-catering or B&B basis. With the self-catering, the owners move out of their homes. All the facilities are at the disposal of the guests including the maid. Some guests prefer to bring their own towels. What we do ask is that if the maid is required to cook, baby-sit etc. she be paid for additional services. The cost varies according to the house. A comfortable 3 bedroomed house sleeping 6 people would be between R450 and about R800 per night. Although the rate is charged for the house irrespective of the number of guests, we do insist that guests do not overload a house. I can also offer flats and houses sleeping between 2 and 10 people. B&B works in the traditional manner and prices range from R120 p.p. per night to about R180 p.p. per night.
