So we headed to the Airbnb platform to find a three nights rental.[\/vc_column_text]\n

<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]Generally, when I make a reservation on Airbnb, I am first interested in “Superhosts,” i.e. trusted hosts who have received excellent feedback from other travellers.<\/p>\n

Here, Desiree is one of the “Superhosts” of Phalaborwa, and so it is with all confidence that I rented her accommodation: Delightful cottage 4km from Kruger National Park<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Her accommodation was perfectly suited to our needs with five beds: travelling as a couple, with our two children and accompanied by my mother from France. In the photos, the accommodation looked very charming; and it was even better in reality![\/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”success” message_box_color=”success” icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-check”]If you’ve never used the Airbnb platform and would like to get a travel credit for your first booking<\/strong>, you can sign up with our referral link<\/a>![\/vc_message][vc_column_text]Knowing that it’s possible to apply travel points to an Airbnb rental, our $530 CA$ rental will be paid in full this way<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

For this one, we used approximately 53,000 Scotia Rewards points obtained with ®<\/sup> Card\" href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/go\/scotia-amex-or\/\">the Scotiabank American Express®<\/sup> Card Gold<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text]
