FAMILY holidays are synonymous with fun, relaxation and leaving the crazy corporate world behind, even if only for a few days.

As the “big break” draws near, the excitement is unmistakable. Mom is scrambling to get everything ready, cookie tins filled to the brim and suitcases packed almost to bursting.

Dad is tying up the last financial details, making sure there’s enough spending money for those “don’t-really-need” mementos, notifying the security company of your absence, arranging care for the pets and ensuring the car is road-trip ready for the journey to the coast. Every box is ticked. At last, the day arrives and, with great excitement, the family sets off on their dream vacation.

Beyond the beautiful beaches that stretch for kilometres, tidal pools and sunny weather, The Bluff offers some of the best activities for the whole family. These include a visit to the Kenneth Stainbank Nature Reserve and The Bluff Nature Reserve. If you feel like venturing a little further, attractions such as Crocworld Conservation Centre, uShaka Marine World, and scenic hiking trails in and around town will keep you connected to nature.

Mom and Dad aren’t forgotten either, a variety of spas and beauty salons promise the relaxation and pampering they deserve, truly showcasing that The Bluff is home to the Best of the Brand when it comes to unforgettable family getaways.
