Favorite Places to Stay Around Comrades

These are the hotels and safari lodges I return to when planning a Comrades trip and a post-race extension. The right fit depends on your priorities, room preferences and current availability, so consider this a well-edited starting point.

Durban

The Oyster Box — An iconic oceanfront hotel in Umhlanga, known for its red-and-white lighthouse, polished service, spa and excellent dining. It makes an easy, restorative base before race day.

Cape Town

Cape Grace — A refined V&A Waterfront base with warm service and an easy location for a relaxed Cape Town stay.

Ellerman House — An intimate luxury retreat in Bantry Bay with sweeping ocean views, a celebrated art collection and exceptional food and wine.

The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa — A scenic choice between the Twelve Apostles mountains and the Atlantic, especially appealing for spa time and a slower post-race pace.

Safari

Londolozi — A classic luxury safari experience in the Sabi Sand, with exceptional guiding and a strong sense of place.

Jabulani — A luxurious Greater Kruger stay with a compelling conservation story and a deeply personal atmosphere.

Victoria Falls & the Zambezi

Royal Chundu — A tranquil river lodge on the Zambezi that pairs beautifully with Victoria Falls and offers a quieter finish to a Southern Africa journey.
