2010 Special Mentions

Assessors Awards & Special Mentions

Our assessors have the very challenging task of visiting thousands of properties throughout the year, not only to verify results for the accommodation awards, but also to assess properties for the AA Quality Assured endorsement programme. It may sound rather glamorous, but anyone who is on the road more than they are at home, will tell you that this is certainly not the case. During their visits, they come across some truly magical establishments that touch them personally, and this is what the assessor's special mentions are all about.

Greatly Improved Properties

Gauteng Eve's Homestay Bed & Breakfast
Free State Forever Resorts Gariep
Eastern Cape Heritage House B&B

Great Teams

With all that they have seen, our assessors know how difficult it can be to "keep it together" when you're operating a busy establishment, and they know that it's impossible if there isn't a strong leader with a dedicated team supporting them. Our assessors have identified the following GREAT TEAMS

Eastern Cape Cape Flame Guest House Tracy-Lee Jacobs and Team
Free State City Lodge Bloemfontein Stephan Pietersen and Team

Western Cape Moontide Guest Lodge Maureen Mansfield
