Sun City Vacation Club Accommodation Specials 2013 - Accommodation near Sun City.
If you have accommodation you want us to let out, mail us. We have just adjusted out fee charged due to scams as below.
Specials payable as soon as booked, unless otherwise arranged - the owners want peace of mind!
Note dates can't be changed, and if you change your mind, then you'll have to sell it on. Cancellation
refunds do not apply to the below specials. To book mail travelinafrica@gmail.com - 5 May 2013

These chalets can get snapped up anytime, normally within a week, as we are dealing with an incredibly popular destination.
I'll give you strictly till x-time & x-day to pay & if you default, consider your option null & void without notification.
I will give an option to a new query & you will have to get in the queue if still interested.
Note that for Sun City Vacation Club and most other timeshare, peak times have full week modules.

Scams: As per 19 Jan 2012 - http://www.ewn.co.za/Story.aspx?Id=81030 , and Diamond Holidays big 2011 Spring Break and
Skouspel scam, selling the same unit apparently up to 40 times - http://www.hellopeter.com/diamond-holidays/compliments-and-complaints
There has been other scams as well - there was another scammer Dec 2010 not reported in the press, and I'm sure lots of others.
Scammers might advertize at a rate too good to be true, but mostly they pick very popular weeks & weekends and charge just under market rate as
to appear legit, especially peak times or peak events. So if you consider buying from an advert in the paper or online maybe think again.

The difference dealing with me is:
1. With me you deal with me and me alone. I'm the only one answering mail and receiving deposits.
2. I normally only deal with owners, or where I can verify that they are owners.
3. I use 1 agent only, and she deals with owners who's portfolios she has been running for years
4. I am responsible. If we get scammed (not likely!), I will take the knock and refund you.
I will then be able to put you up at my place 17km's from Sun City at no charge - no one else can offer this!
5. You can look at my site and see who I am, and where to find me. I've been doing tours to Pilanesberg for over
10 years, just look at my old picture galleries all taken by me! New testimonials to follow when I get the time...
