I don’t like Cricket “oh, no” I love it at the Protea Hotel Waterfront
If you are anything like me, and as always I pray to God that you are not, you will have struggled through this weekend with a bad case of sleep deprivation and woken a little earlier over the last couple of days to race downstairs and check channel 401 for the latest updates from South Australia.
And in this joyous moment of a one nil Ashes lead it is easy to forget that England and Australia are just two nations who enjoy a passion for Cricket. Once this Ashes series is over thoughts will turn to the ICC Cricket World Cup in India which will take place from 19th February to 2nd April and where both South Africa and the hosts will be highly fancied to take the title.
The Protea Hotel Waterfront in Centurion is offering cricket fans a fantastic opportunity to see the Proteas take on India in the first test between 16th – 20th December to see the top two ranked Test sides in the world. This package includes overnight accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis, a welcome drink on arrival the hotel, complimentary transfers to the match and 2 tickets to see the days play.
The two teams will meet again in a ODI match on back at Supersport Park Cricket Stadium on the 23rd January and this package will be available then as well.
Centurion is located midway between Johannesburg and Pretoria so and makes an ideal choice of destination from which to explore both of these cities from. There is plenty to do for the whole family in the area. Visit the De Wildt Cheetah Conservation Centre and the Lion and Rhino Parks for some up close encounters with wildlife. The Lion and Rhino Park is situated in the Cradle of Humankind, one of South Africa’s premier archaeology sites and a World Heritage Site. The Tswaing Crater was formed some 220,000 years ago by a meteorite slamming into the earth’s crust. It is one of the best–preserved terrestrial meteorite impact craters in the world.
The elegant yet affordable 4-star Protea Hotel Waterfront Centurion is located on the safe and tranquil Centurion Waterfront. The Hotel is situated adjacent to the Centurion Mall shopping complex with its variety of restaurants, bars, boutiques, cinemas and banks. A great choice for an event such as the cricket as it is just 5 minutes door to door. Located on the water’s edge is Protea Hotel Waterfront Centurion’s a la carte restaurant, Emanzini, with its contemporary African atmosphere. The trendy bar and lounge area is the ideal place to come and enjoy a drink and I can highly recommend a plate of sandwiches at the bar if you are looking for a filling snack.
