CHECK IN TIMES
Our normal check-in times are from 14:00 to 18:00. You are welcome to leave your luggage with

us, if you arrive before 14:00, bearing in mind that your room may not yet be ready for

occupation.

If you are going to arrive later than 18:00, please let us know, either when booking ,

or on the day of arrival, if for example your flight has been delayed. Very late check- ins may be surcharged.

CHECK OUT TIME
Our Check out time is 10:00 am on the day of departure.This applies to all guests as rooms have to be made up for incoming arrivals.

If you need a shower or bath at 15:00, then please book for two nights, not one!

SMOKING
We exercise a policy of “no smoking” throughout the interior of our Guest House.
However Guests are free to smoke outside in our garden, or on the Decks.

BREAKFAST
Breakfast is served between 07h30 and 09h00 in our dining room. A choice of English or

Continental breakfasts are available, and you will be asked to indicate the time and your

choice of breakfast the night before, as each breakfast is individually prepared.
For those leaving very early for Kruger National Park, breakfast boxes will be prepared,

on request.

DINNER
MoraG is prepared to serve Dinner to businessmen travelling on their own, providing that

this is arranged when the reservation is made. As there are a number of good restaurants

within easy reach of Wayfarers we do not otherwise serve dinner, as we do not wish to

compete with these establishments. We have the menus for most of the Sabie Restaurants,

and will give our recommendations as to where to go to have an enjoyable evening.

SECURITY
When out traveling, keep your valuables in the boot of your car, out of sight. Always lock

your vehicle when it is unattended. When you park your car anywhere in South Africa,

you will probably find a Security person, who offers to look after your vehicle whilst it is

unattended. This is optional , dependant upon the area and whether you have belongings

inside the vehicle which will not fit in the boot. Should you agree to the service, a tip of

R1 or R2 upon your return, providing your vehicle is in the same condition that you left it,

will be acceptable.

CAR HIRE
Please remember that if you intend to take your hire car out of South Africa, and into

time.

PETROL AND DIESEL
In South Africa there are plenty of Filling Stations in the towns and cities, but in between

there are often none at all, so make sure that you fill your tank before leaving urban areas.For example, there are no Filling Stations between Sabie and White River.

The price of Petrol has  gone up again, and in Sabie currently costs R10.95 per litre. In Sabie there are three Filling Stations, namely BP, Caltex and Engen.

The Total Garage at Toyota no longer exists.

Unlike most of the world, Filling Stations in South Africa are not “self-service”. Therefore,

apart from filling your tank, the Petrol Pump attendant should offer to check your oil and

water and tyre pressure, and also to clean your windscreen. Once this has been done to

your satisfaction, a small tip is in order, again usually an amount up to R2 is happily accepted.

Garages in South Africa now accept the use of Debit Cards as a method of

payment for fuel. A hand held device called Swipa enables you to swipe any Debit Card

from any Bank for your fuel purchase, from the comfort of your vehicle.

THE WEATHER AND CLIMATE
Sabie, like most of South Africa, has Summer rainfall, and clear, dry  warm Winter days

with cool nights.The Cape is the exception to the rule. Sabie lies 1,110 metres above sea level, and therefore enjoys a very pleasant

climate. It is always slightly warmer in the Blyde River Canyon and Kruger National Park,

so hats and sunscreen are a necessity all the year round. February 2011 was a very dry month, with below average rainfall, and one very violent storm,

 which brought down a number of trees.March was very dry until mid month, whereafter we had above average rainfall,although it remained mainly warm and sunny, and perfect holiday weather.

It is still cool at night, but the weather during the day has generally been very pleasant since mid July, except for the excitement of the snow which fell on August 15.

Monthly average temperatures for the area are indicated below,together with the monthly rainfall
