Bela Bela family getaway

Astrid Harrison on 30 December 2020
After a tough year of not going anywhere (2020) my family and I spent a few relaxing days at Warmbaths, a Forever Resort. Road tripping with my family always allows us to share stories and laugh, a great distraction on a very busy route.

We arrived early afternoon. The check-in process took a bit longer than usual as we all needed to complete forms and to be screened due to COVID policies. The check-in staff are always so friendly and cheerful. When we finally got into the chalet, it was like everybody could finally move into "holiday-mode" including my 9-month-old nephew.

The 10-sleeper self-catering chalet was perfect for my big family, it had so much space and everything that one needs to prepare meals. The entire chalet was neat. There is a cleaning service each morning which is optional. Everything you need is supplied in the chalet, from pots to cutlery to crockery. The bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces were spacious enough for everyone. Not once did we feel like we were stepping on each other's toes. As soon as everyone got settled, within minutes, my daughters were ready to be beside the pools. Because of COVID, the number of people staying at the resort was limited. Day visitors were also not permitted to enter. However, the atmosphere was relaxed, there was no anxiousness when my daughters went to different pools/rides because there weren’t so many people. The food that we purchased from the different vendors was plentiful and delicious. And even if you forget to bring something along, like Aromat, there are a lot of shops nearby to get all you need. The resort also has an onsite convenience store that operates at certain times. They sell everything from cooldrink, chips, chocolates, toilet roll, souvenirs and more...

The Hydro is a must when you go to the resort, the warm water relaxes your tired muscles and helps aid good sleep. They also offer an array of beauty treatments like facials, mani's, pedi's and massages that one can book during your stay.

Forever Resorts Warmbaths is a great getaway spot for families for a weekend or week.
