Romaine Hendricks I would love this as a family get away my kids have never been camping neither have I so I’d like to start with a glamping experience.

So need this as Hubby and I have not had a holiday away together in 3 years. Now we have a little baby boy of 8 months and would me nice to have a family holiday away together.
I really need to win this . I have not been on a holiday for so long. A holiday like this would be amazing. My family and I love the ocean . A holiday like this is exactly wha I need. Please please please please.
i would love to win <3 being a single mom of two, i could do with a break away from city life hustle and bustle. Get back to our families basics where presence is better than presents, and enjoy each others company instead of us testing each others patience, especially the sibling rivalry. So would be nice to kick feet up, enjoy nature, and recharge. Stop, Breathe and Relax.
Myself, my husband and our 3 year old little girl have not been away on holiday for quite a while! Would love to just get away from the rat race for a little while and re connect as a family. Thank you so much!!!
Because being a parent of a 2 year old is always a good reason why we need a little break and a little contribution goes a long way as parents!
Diandra Benwell
We’ve got a very busy 18 month old and I’m 21 weeks pregnant with baby nr. 2! We found out we were pregnant with our first 10 days before our wedding, so we never had a honeymoon. We can really do with a vacation before baby gets here.
I need this to take my mom away for a weekend.
I work retail and only get one weekend off a month this would be super special for us.
This would be a much needed break for me and hubby as parents of a very busy 3 year old we are in need of a weekend away
We are all too busy, tired and haven’t had a good holiday in aaaaages so I’m definitely not going to pass up a chance of winning a voucher towards some time away! Holidays are our best!
Roxanne Hunt – Like everyone else I would just love some time of from the rushes of life to relax with my hubby and two small kiddies
After having a not so nice Christmas due to my daughter being so sick we ended up spending our entire holiday indoors, gosh we could ALL do with a break and my daughter could do with a ‘spoil’. Trying to open Christmas gifts when you are not feeling well could not have been much fun for her…..
I teach Grade 1’s (which is exhausting but very rewarding) and then go home to my 2 beautiful boys and husband (who are super special but want all my attention all the time!) We would love to have a family holiday together!
I am a blessed mommy with 2 children aged 6years and 5years and pregnant with our 3rd baby. We are working parents that always spend every sent on our kids and havent had a holiday for 2 years. A voucher will defnitly be amazing contribution to finally have a family holiday we have been dreaming about.
Trying to plan a family weekend break always seems difficult, especially between the kids sport and hubby playing golf, but a family weekend away sounds absolutely bliss 🙂
I would love to win this,really need a break from being a busy mom and wife.
I have recently been assisting a family friend who has the baby blues by taking on nightshift with her newborn.. just to give her a break i would sponsor a weekend away
Ragmat Baron
Oh wow i need this, its only february now but work is so hectic, it feels like i was never away.
I need this desperately to give me some energy
Holding thumbs! There are a million ways I could use this. Gosh. #mommyneedsaholiday
Eeek, what a stunning competition! As a young married couple we have realised that our lives never stop. From trying to put in all those extra hours at work to helping out with church activities and babysitting our neighbours kids at the drop of a hat. When we actually think of the amount of time we spend together it is rather shocking (and we don’t even have our own kids yet!). A little getaway weekend would do wonders! 🙂
Being a mother of 3 kids means not having enough time to spend with hubby. Don’t get me wrong I love spending time with my kids. This would be an Amazing opportunity to spend some much needed time with the love of my life!
Its my anniversary this month and its the month of love and would love to take my baby away to the Drakensberg for a weekend away. Just the 2 of us. My daughter has just started Varsity College so every spare cent goes to her. This would be such a treat. Roses are Red Violets are blue please make this our Woooohoooooo Valentines moment ❤
Me nd my hubby need sometime away did nt have all the quality time we must have in 10years it would really do us good to go away on holiday.
So need this!! Year started with my husband having an accident with an angle grinder, son having idiopathic urticaria and my stress release runs stopped by my achilles tendon issues. I wished for another holiday to reboot 2017! Could this be it?
Kagga Kamma looks like a great weekend away!
Just last week we got the go ahead from granny that she’ll look after kids while we go away for a night for first time in 6 years. Would love to be able to book something a little more luxurious
The perfect baby moon.
I would SO love a getaway with hubby, away from work and my precious, but slightly exhausting toddler!
What a great giveaway!!!
Fingers crossed! 😉
I NEED this fantastic prize so that I can spoil my amazing family to a much needed holiday.
They would be absolutely delighted if I won this 😃
I need this! We need this. With 3 young kids life is busy!!! The last time my Hubbie and I went away alone together was 5 years ago. Kagga Kamma looks like a dream
I’d absolutely love to win this for my sister, they’re getting married in June and while they’re saving all they can towards their wedding I haven’t heard a peep about a honeymoon
I can’t even begin to explain how much of a help this would be. My fiancé (I’m still getting used to that) and I have been doing the “long-distance” thang, as he is a youth pastor in dusty Rustenburg, and I’m clinging on to the Mother City. Our wedding is happening in June this year (YAY) and we will finally be together, foreverrr. As you know, weddings are expeeeensive, especially for two young-guns, and especially on a youth pastor’s salary (can I get an amen?!) But love is love. You sacrifice, put on hold and downscale, in order to be with the one that you love. And boy oh boy, my soul has truly found its mate.
This prize would be a gift to us. Even if it means one night away. (Especially seeing as we are forgoing the honeymoon, cause the budget definitely doesn’t include one of those.)
I have NEVER been on a holiday. Not even a honeymoon. That is why id appreciate it .
This year has started crazily busy and stressful with work and life adjustments and my family of 4 could really do with some R&R! Hope to win!
I would love to win this prize. I have always wanted to go to Laggan Kamma it looks so beautiful
I haven’t been on any getaway without my kids for 5 years. I’d love a chance for some time out!
Hi. My husband and I would appreciate this if we were to win. We know each other for over 10years and would love to celebrate with our daughter. Would not want her to miss out on anything. Would make a lovely family vacation. Please choose me (“,)
I’m a shift working wife and mom of a teen and toddler with a very hectic schedule. I could really do with this awesome prize cause hubby and I could really do with some quality adult time alone.
Shelley – My husband finished 2016 having ALL of his 25days leave still owed to him and then some…. We vowed that we would make sure that doesn’t happen this year, this would be a big step in the right direction.
Just had a little boy who is 4weeks old and have a teething toddler and just moved house LOL. Really could use the time out to reflect and relax 😉 #Blessed
Pregnant with my second boy! And saving up for the hospital and birth. Could use a little spoiling and a little babymoon.
My husband and I usually go away in December for some good quality time together and some down time after a crazy year! This year being 38 weeks pregnant meant our “holiday” was spent waiting in anticipation for our little boy to enter this world!
As first time parents a weekend away would be just what the Dr ordered!
It’s been three long years raising kids and the craziness that brings, with only one night, last year, away alone with my hubby! I am desperate for a little romantic break-away and date night with my husband of nine years!!! Pick us pleeeeeaaaase!
It’s been three long years raising kids (now three and six months old) and the craziness that brings, with only one night, last year, away alone with my hubby! I am desperate for a little romantic break-away and date night with my husband of nine years! Pick us please!
Gosh, I would LOVE a night away with my man! (I’d also choose a spot near the sea)
Would love to take my son on his first holiday 😊
This would be a wonderful prize to win! I’d love to take my hubs away for a weekend relax after a busy start of year! Holding thumbs 🙂
My husband and I could really do with some time away after being apart for 1.5years!
I would love this. I have 3 boys all under the age of 5 so there is no doubt in my mind that I need this!!!! The prize will not be wasted on me and I will enjoy every second of it 🙂
We would love a break. With 3 kids life is and 2 being twins. Life is crazy and time out would be amazing.
I can’t even remember the last time we went on a holiday…would luv to go away for a bit!
We would love to put this voucher to good use towards celebrating our 9th Wedding anniversary. After 5 years filled with babies and small children we haven’t had a gap till now… accommodation direct pick us pretty please!
Liked,shared and fingers crossed 🤞
It’s been quiet hectic for me and my family the past few months. With holidays school and moving in to our new home. We never had proper family time for long now. We deserve a weekend away sO we could bond an just be out doors. We love family time and just being around each other and doing things we love together.
Would love to go on holiday with my family, my Newborn little girl.dad and I have not gone on holiday in a long time and can do with a little time away and enjoying time away.
I just need some recharching. Being at home always feels like work with a 4 and a 5-year old boy.
Holly White; I would be so grateful to win this prize, it is our 1st Wedding Anniversary in exactly a month, today and with our first bundle of joy on the way it would be so great to get away together and this would really help to make it a memorable one! Just yesterday we were checking out The Sea Shack 🙂 and Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve has always been one at the top of my list. So many places to choose from though! Thank you #AccomodationDirect and #TheMomDairies , holding all my fingers and toes 😆
Anton van den Oever: I think that this would be an amazing opportunity for my and my better half to spend some quality time together and also allow me to ask that all important question 🙂
I need a family trip. I haven’t been on holiday in the last 2 years, my baby is now 4 months old so I would love to take her on a family vacation.
I have two little ones under two, the oldest of whom has been in and out of hospital since he was born due to complications in pregnancy, so a weekend away sounds absolutely incredible right now. These batteries need recharging and a weekend away could just be the solution!
Juggling a full time job and trying to be the best mom and wife I can be is a tough job at times.. I don’t always feel like cooking dinner, or doing the housework let alone the homework.. but as I mom I just have to put on a brave smile and push through.. I would love a break from all this.. with my family of course.. just away from the normal routine of everyday life.. Even a week-end away will give me a refreshing outlook and a boost to continue.. This would be absolutely amazing.
We need a break! Just the two of us ♡
