We had a really good turn out last year but for the event to continue this year you'll have to dig a tiny bit deeper in your pockets..
Accommodation wise most people booked into the train and the self catering cottages resulting in the hotel standing mostly empty..
Showntell block books the entire hotel until a month before the event - in order to have exclusive use of the whole Hotel & Town including magical lounges full of national treasures.... in general the hotel is extremely accommodating but they run at a financial loss. Spring time is very popular for weddings in Matjiesfontein and they could book the hotel out easy if it was not for our gathering.
So the extended organizing committee and the hotel have come to the conclusion that unfortunately we can not offer the train as an accommodation option this year. Only the self catering and the hotel rooms (which includes the garden suites) will be available if the weekend is to continue in the town of Matjiesfontein.
KEEP WATCHING THE BLOG for when BOOKINGS open..
The Lord Milner Hotel is 3 star luxury accommodation (breakfast included). It might mean that some of us have to save a little bit in advance to make sure that we can make it, but we think that it's worth it... don't you? The accommodation is really your main expense for the whole weekend experience.
Yours, in the spirit of the "best weekend of the year" (your words not ours!)
