5 Benefits of Self-Catering Accommodation

Being independent when you are traveling offers loads of advantages, and can make your entire trip that much easier. However, it can be hard if you don’t have a large travel budget or time to spend on cooking your own food.

Luckily, there is an increasingly popular option available for travelers: self-catering accommodation like Sleepy Lagoon Motel. It gives the traveler the best of both worlds by providing them with a comfortable place to stay and all the amenities they need, while also giving them plenty of freedom to cook their own meals whenever they want.

Thinking about holidaying in Tin Can Bay? Here are 5 reasons you should book your stay at a self-catering accommodation like Sleepy Lagoon Motel!

1. Save Money On Your Holiday

A self-catering holiday is now one of the most popular ways to holiday as it gives you a lot more freedom and control. A self-catering apartment or house provides better value for money than a hotel or resort because there are no additional charges added to the final price. All cleaning, linen items, kitchen utilities, towels, etc are included so you know exactly what you’re paying beforehand.

2. Flexibility Of Location

When you book a self-catering apartment or holiday house it’s yours to come and go as you please, making it more flexible around your schedule. Location is no longer limited to what is on offer in the resort itself.

Some resorts may not have all the amenities you need, which may only be available 5 minutes away, off-site. You can shop at local supermarkets or any shops that are close by.

3. Save Money On Eating Out

One of the biggest expenses when traveling is food and drinks. The resort may be all-inclusive but that doesn’t mean the prices are affordable, especially if you’re planning ahead for your whole trip or ending up eating out every day just because it’s more convenient/cheaper.

With a self-catering apartment or house, you would be able to cook your own meals saving money and time as well as knowing exactly what ingredients are going into your meal…NO PRESERVATIVES!

Self-catering accommodation allows you to save money on your meals by allowing you to cook for yourself and by visiting local butchers, grocers and other places where locals shop, you’ll be able to get ingredients at a much lower price because you are buying bulk! You will also have access to all the kitchen appliances that restaurants use such as fridges, ovens, microwaves and more so that preparation is a breeze!

4. Freedom to Cook Your Own Food

Travelling is all about having fun and doing what you want, when you want! Self-catering accommodation gives you that freedom because it provides a comfortable apartment or house with the essentials like cooking utensils, crockery and even dishwashing supplies, allowing you to make whatever meals you want whenever you feel hungry.

This allows you to save money on expensive restaurant bills while also getting the chance to try out local recipes at their best!

5. Enjoy Home Comforts

Self-catering accommodation puts travellers in the middle of where they want to be as opposed to them being stuck at one location. When you go on a holiday you want to escape from your everyday life and enjoy the comforts of home in a location that is unique and memorable for all the right reasons.

The most important thing is that self-catering accommodation makes it easier for travelers to stay for longer periods of time, be more flexible with their schedule, save money, have independence, and enjoy being in a new place without having to worry about restrictions or rules.
