For every handpicked Budget Getaway you'll find a table of summary information to ease your search. The general idea is to scan this info, identify a getaway that loosely fits your needs (in terms of size, locality, price, etc.), and then read the lowdown. The summary information is intentionally simple and fairly self-evident:

Snapshot – the getaway in a nutshell and its proximity to the nearest town or other landmark;

Sleeps – the number of adults the getaway can comfortably accommodate;

Equipped – whether all kitchen and cooking utensils are provided; in most cases they are;

Linen – whether full bed linen is provided;

Towels – whether bath towels are provided; very few establishments provide separate swimming towels;

Fireplace – whether the accommodation has an indoor fireplace (or wood-stove)

Braai – just about all the featured getaways have braai facilities (but not all provide grids!)

Meals available – whether optional breakfast or other meals are available on the premises or close by in the form of restaurants  

Pet-friendly – whether dogs are allowed; if yes, this is generally by special arrangement (see below)

Activities - main activities and attractions available either on the property or nearby;

Rate guide – a rough indicator of what an adult can expect to pay per night.
