Marvellous prizes for mom
MOTHER’S Day honours our mothers and is celebrated this year on Sunday, May 14, the second Sunday in May. The perfect place to take mom on her special day is 1000 Hills, with many options for a day trip, weekend away, family meal, retail therapy, pampering, activities and outings, or be together as a family and enjoy the beauty.
One lucky mother can win a bespoke Mother’s Day package for herself, her partner and two children to spend a gorgeous stay in the beautiful Valley of 1000 Hills, courtesy of 1000 Hills Tourism Community Tourism Organisation on Mother’s Day weekend.
The winner and two runners-up can each collect a beautiful rose bush from Ludwig’s Roses and a Mother’s Day “pre-read” book bundle donated by the Denis Hurley Centre Street Lit sellers.
One lucky family of four can win:
One night’s accommodation with continental breakfast at Rooms with a View Guest House, one of the first B&B establishments in the Outer West, at 18 Park Drive, Crestview.
It has magnificent views and adjoins Crestholme Nature Reserve and View Site – a combination of pristine grassland and forest with more than 3 000 species of plants and trees. The guest house, which has been operating since 1998, is set in an indigenous garden with abundant birdlife and small mammal visitors such as buck, banded mongoose, rock rabbit, vervet monkeys, water mongoose and porcupine.
The winner is booked in for Saturday night, May 13, with a continental breakfast in the garden on Mother’s Day morning (weather permitting).
