Douglas

Douglas is a charming town located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, situated at the confluence of the Vaal and Orange Rivers. This unique geographical position has historically made Douglas an important agricultural hub, benefiting from the fertile soils and abundant water supply provided by the two rivers. The town was established in the 1860s and named after General Sir Percy Douglas, a British army officer. Its rich agricultural heritage continues to thrive, with the surrounding areas producing a variety of crops, including maize, wheat, and groundnuts, as well as supporting livestock farming.

One of the most notable features of Douglas is the Vaalharts Irrigation Scheme, one of the largest irrigation projects in the southern hemisphere. This extensive network of canals and dams, initiated in the 1930s, has transformed the region into a green oasis in an otherwise semi-arid landscape. The irrigation scheme has been crucial in sustaining the local agriculture economy and providing employment opportunities for the community. Visitors to Douglas can explore the engineering marvels of the irrigation system and witness its impact on the vibrant agricultural activities in the area.

Beyond its agricultural significance, Douglas offers a tranquil lifestyle and a gateway to exploring the natural beauty of the Northern Cape. The town is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, including riverine ecosystems, open plains, and rocky outcrops. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy activities such as fishing, boating, and birdwatching along the riverbanks. Douglas also serves as a convenient base for exploring nearby attractions, such as the Augrabies Falls National Park and the Kimberley Big Hole, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure in the heart of South Africa’s vast and diverse landscapes.

The scheme has transformed the arid landscape into a productive agricultural region, supporting the cultivation of crops such as maize, cotton, and pecans. Guided tours provide insights into the history, operation, and impact of this vital irrigation project.

Why the $elect Stays initiative?

Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
Exclusive.
Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.

I have read & agree to the Terms & Conditions below

Terms & Conditions

The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
