    LONDON, ENGLAND, May 21, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Red Carnation, the luxury collection of five and four star hotels, have created dream-like experiences during 2010 at their three award-winning South African hotels: The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Wellness Retreat and The Oyster Box. Guests can stay one extra night with our compliments - a saving up to R4,428! With an offer like this you might be tempted to visit them all and enjoy three very different experiences offered by this amazingly rich and diverse destination! There's so much more going on in South Africa this year than just soccer.

Passionate about welcoming guests with a truly five-star experience, these three hotels - each situated in enviable locations - epitomise the very best in exceptional service and utter indulgence. The 'Stay Longer' promotion is valid until 30th September 2010. Guests can receive an extra night, with our compliments, on all stays between four and seven nights booked just before or after the 2010 FIFA World Cup South AfricaTM (11th June - 11th July 2010).

Enjoy the new look at the luxury five star hotel in Cape Town, The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, recently voted one of the 'Best places to stay in the World' (Conde Nast Traveler Gold List 2010). The magnificently refurbished suites and public areas take sheer pampering and comfort to new heights accompanied by fine cuisine and an enviable wine collection in the ever popular Azure Restaurant or 24-hour Cafe. Unwind in the renowned Sanctuary Spa or in one of the al fresco gazebos positioned on the slopes of the Twelve Apostles Mountain range overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Wellness Retreat in the Cederberg Mountains in the Western Cape is a five star holistic wilderness and healing experience, an ecological oasis voted 'Best Hotel in the World' (Travel + Leisure 2009). It's the ideal refuge to set your spirit free in an environment where it can be healed and restored by Mother Nature herself. The mystical energy, breathtaking beauty and timeless tranquility from the wide open plains, majestic rock formations and crystal clear waterfalls, will reconnect you with your inner self and life's true essence. Recognised as a Natural Heritage Site, the reserve is nestled at the foothills of the magnificent Cederberg Mountains, 270km from Cape Town. It is malaria-free; a sanctuary for abundant flora and fauna; and home to many ancient San rock art sites.

Experience the newest five star hotel in Umhlanga Rocks near Durban to make the perfect base from which to explore the very best of everything in KwaZulu-Natal. Following an extensive multi-million Rand two-year rebuilding project, The Oyster Box recently debuted on the Conde Nast Hot List 2010 with two Top Awards for Hot Hotels and Hot Spas. Durban is famous for its exceptional year-round weather, pristine beaches and mountains, historical battlefields, Big Five wildlife, excellent scuba diving and snorkeling over superb coral reefs and a great place to see the rare Leatherback Turtles.
