In our July round-up of the latest local hotel news we take a look at what's happening in Gauteng under Level 4, plus some new developments to look forward to later in the year.
Work, rest and stay at Gauteng hotels during Level 4
Under the new adjusted Level 4 lockdown (currently scheduled to last until July 11, 2021) travel into and out of Gauteng is permitted only for work, transportation of goods, funerals or to return home and you need to obtain a relevant travel permit to prove you have legitimate reasons to travel. Travel between all other provinces is still allowed and you are allowed to travel within Gauteng, subject to curfew times.While we are not allowed to leave Gauteng during Level 4, hotels within the province are permitted to host guests visiting for leisure, on the condition that there are no gatherings and food and beverages are enjoyed only on a room service basis. Many Gauteng hotels are offering compelling deals on overnight stays, day visits and takeaway food under the latest Level 4 restrictions. Here are just a few great offers we have our eyes on:
