Fodor's Expert Review Avalon Springs
Popular Avalon Springs, the only resort open to day visitors, is not the most stylish, and the architecture leaves a lot to be desired. But if you look beyond this and the numerous signs carrying stern warnings and instructions, you'll get good insight into South African life and culture, as people float and splash around in the various pools. If you're not staying at the resort, you can rent bikes from the village (at around R25 an hour) and cycle to the springs, where you can spend a few hours before heading home again.
