Something special is on the way. Very soon, Vacanza will open the door to a new way of discovering places to stay, explore and experience. Not just rooms. Not just prices. Not just another accommodation listing platform. Vacanza is being created for the moments that matter — the weekend away you have been talking about for months, the quiet guesthouse that feels like home, the coastal escape that helps you breathe again, the hidden town you never knew you needed to visit, and the experiences that turn a simple trip into a memory. We are building a platform where travellers can discover more than just where to stay. You will be able to explore beautiful accommodation, learn more about the places around it, discover things to do, uncover local experiences and find destinations that match the kind of journey you want to have. And for guesthouses, lodges and accommodation providers, Vacanza will offer something equally important — a space to tell your story properly, showcase what makes your property special and connect with people who are looking for more than just a bed for the night. This is about bringing travel, accommodation and discovery together in one place. And this is only the beginning. We are getting ready to reveal more, introduce incredible places and start building a travel community around real destinations, real experiences and meaningful stays. So if you love travelling, discovering new places, supporting great accommodation businesses or simply dreaming about where you might go next... Get ready. Vacanza is coming very soon. Your next stay may begin with a search. Your next story may begin with Vacanza. #Vacanza #ComingSoon #TravelSouthAfrica #Accommodation #Guesthouses #Lodges #TravelInspiration #ExploreSouthAfrica #ThingsToDo #TravelDiscovery #TourismSouthAfrica #DiscoverMore

There’s a real sense of excitement around TownMapper right now, because something much bigger than a simple website update is beginning to take shape. We’re incredibly proud to share that **TownMapper has officially partnered with Mysatech** — and as part of that partnership, Mysatech is also developing the **new and improved TownMapper main website**. For us, this is an important moment in the TownMapper journey. The idea behind TownMapper has always been simple: make it easier for people to discover what is happening around them. The businesses. The places. The accommodation. The services. The properties. The opportunities. The things that make every South African town unique. But the vision has grown far beyond a normal directory. The new platform is being shaped around interactive local discovery, where each town becomes its own digital destination and people can explore what is around them in a much more visual, useful and connected way. And that is exactly why this new partnership feels so right. With Mysatech now working closely alongside us, we are not only rebuilding the main TownMapper website — we are creating the foundation for what TownMapper is becoming next. There are new ideas being developed, new towns and businesses to showcase, new ways to explore local communities and a much bigger digital experience still coming. The energy behind the scenes right now is incredible, and we genuinely cannot wait to start showing everyone what has been taking shape. This is the beginning of a new chapter for TownMapper. And there is a lot more to come. **TownMapper — Explore More. Discover Local. Find What Matters.** #TownMapper #Mysatech #OfficialPartner #SouthAfrica #LocalDiscovery #SupportLocal #SouthAfricanBusiness #DigitalTransformation #ExploreLocal #DiscoverSouthAfrica

At BlyLekker, we believe the most important question isn’t: “Will I sleep well?” It’s: “Jy slaap dalk lekker… maar bly jy lekker?” Because the best stays are about more than comfort — they’re about atmosphere, location, experience, and how a place makes you feel from the moment you arrive. What you can expect from BlyLekker: • Carefully presented accommodation across South Africa • A focus on experience, lifestyle, and surroundings • Listings that help you choose how you want to feel, not just where you’ll sleep • A platform built for everyone — proudly South African and fully inclusive Whether you’re planning a coastal escape, a bush break, a city stay, or a weekend away, BlyLekker helps you find places where your stay becomes part of the journey — not just the stopover.

Redefining How South Africa Explores Online We are proud to officially introduce TownMapper, a powerful new platform developed in partnership with the MySA Social Network — and unlike anything else available online today, this integration is set to change the way people explore towns, communities, and opportunities across South Africa. For the first time, official area and town pages on MySA will be directly integrated with an independent TownMapper solution, creating a unified discovery experience that brings everything about a town into one intelligent, easy-to-navigate location. From places to eat, local services, accommodation, things to do, and property opportunities, to verified businesses and community-driven updates — TownMapper delivers a quick, clear, and reliable overview of everything an area has to offer, all in one place. Unlike fragmented directories, outdated listings, or disconnected platforms, TownMapper transforms how people search, explore, and engage online. It bridges social interaction with structured local information, allowing users not only to discover areas, but to truly understand what’s happening within them. This is not just another platform. This is a new way of exploring online. A New Era is unfolding. Evolution is underway. #TownMapper #MySA
