The benefits of choosing self-catering accommodation for your next holiday in St Helena.

Choosing where to stay during a family visit or a trip with friends can be a frustrating exercise. Balancing preferences and budgets are simply a nightmare.  We might be biased, but we believe that choosing self-catering properties here on the St Helena using the St Helena property finder has pretty strong advantages.

Home from home Accommodation

While travelling with friends, family members or children who have dietary requirements, choosing the self-catering accommodation option allows you to cook what you want, when you want, if you want breakfast in the middle of the day, you are welcome to it! Our self-catering properties have fully equipped modern kitchens, so you can control the ingredients, portions or cooking methods if that’s what’s required. You can keep to your own routine or break out of however you want! If you have younger members travelling and are fussy eaters, you can prepare food ready for whenever your fussy eater needs it.

Excellent value for money accommodation

When booking St Helena accommodation, it usually works out to be more cost effective than a hotel, especially if you are travelling as a family or a group. Some of our listed accommodation have two bedrooms meaning you won’t have to pay for several individual rooms as you would in a hotel.  Having the option to do your own shopping and to cook your own meals ensures that you can make your holiday extremely cost effective. Although eating out has its benefits, it is also expensive to visit a restaurant every night, shopping in local stores and preparing meals in the comfort of your self-catering property can help save you money on your holiday, whilst still allowing you to enjoy your surroundings and the local food.  Most of our self-catering properties have laundry facilities/washing, which means you don’t need to pay for laundry as you would in a hotel and they would certainly come in handy if you plan on getting messy exploring the outdoors of St. Helena.
