  • In this video we compare two different stays in the MIDLANDS. We spent three weekends in the Midlands in the month of May, because of weddings and a baby christening.
    In the beginning of the month we stayed at the beautiful LYTHWOOD LODGE, it cost us R3000 for two nights, including breakfast and dinner. It was a very comfortable stay and a beautiful location. We recommend that you stay here if you don't want to do much exploring in the Midlands or if you are there for a function like a wedding.
    Our second weekend we decided to stay in one of the cheapest AirBnbs we could find. We were there for a wedding and only stayed for one night. It cost us R500 for the night. It was a loft apartment and we wish we had a bit more time to stay there, especially to sit around the fire place. We recommend that you stay here if you just need a place to sleep, while you're out exploring the Midlands.
    We also show you what CALDERWOOD HALL looks like as a wedding venue. It was the end of the month, funds were low and we decided to drive home after the wedding.
    Stay tuned to the end to see two different coffee shops ;)

    Winter looks really pretty in the Midlands! That fancy hotel looks like it was gorgeous. So cool that they have a service where they heat up the room for you and even give you a fancy snack! Absolutely nothing wrong with the cheaper place though! Would TOTALLY book that place! Looks like it had a lot of character

      We really loved the Airbnb as well, hopefully we get to stay there again someday 😁

    Ooooh I love that they put the heater on and leave you shortbread biscuits..thats sold me :D The accommodation is gorgeous! The indoor chapel is lovely! Even the drive there looks beautiful. The cheaper accommodation looks so quirky!! Love the edit with 3 videos on the screen. You two sure love your coffee! :D Hope you had a good mothers day :)

    Seems like a nice area! Both of the accommodations looked really cozy. I think I'd go for the first one if I was looking for some rest and relaxation. The other one seemed like it would be closer to activities though if we wanted to explore. Great comparison.

    So nice that you got to do so many weddings and family gatherings this month, and you stayed in some cool accommodations because of it. Loved the unique AirBnB! I've never seen you guys so dressed up. Looking good guys!

    You guys are looking fancy, nice that you got to go there 3 times! I like the rustic look in the cheaper accommodation for sure. Very nicely decorated. Of course the more expensive one is on the fancier side. Glad you got to visit nice coffee shops too!

    $100 for that first accommodation seems pretty good for the two of you and breakfast, plus the turn down service. The second accommodation gave a lot of space for $35 despite it’s quirky layout!

  • @GinandRing
    @GinandRing 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    We always go for the cheaper quirky places but $100 for meals and turn down is insane. Love the name Piggly Wiggly 😂 I just want to say 'Lets go to Piggly Wiggly' 🙈🤣

    Hey guys, both of the accommodations looked nice. For 1/3 of the price we would go for the cheaper one to be able to spend more exploring..and going to both of the coffee shops. I really liked the Piggly Wiggly name 🐖

    • @BeingBedingfield
      @BeingBedingfield  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks guys. The cheaper one was really nice. It gave you that farm feeling. We love wood fires in the cold weather. Piggly Wiggly is so much fun and yes the name is strange😅
