Planning a trip around the cricket
A World Cup here is not a single-city trip. The host nations span roughly three thousand kilometres, the grounds sit in cities that are hours apart by air, and supporters who travel this far usually build two or three weeks around a block of matches rather than fly in for one.
That changes what you should book. Touring parties and families tend to do better taking a whole house or a farm cottage for a week than separate hotel rooms, particularly in the smaller host cities where hotel stock is thin. It also leaves room for the part of the trip that is not cricket: the reserves, the coast and the winelands are what people remember, and the rest days between matches are when you see them.
Every stay listed here is on Spekboom, which means a share of what you pay goes to a conservation or community cause chosen by the host.

Zimbabwe
Where to stay near Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium, Victoria Falls
A new ground built for this tournament on the edge of Victoria Falls town, and the one venue where the surroundings will outrank the cricket for most visitors. The falls, the Zambezi and Hwange are all here, and it is the natural place to build in rest days.
Stays within 40 km of the ground.

South Africa
Where to stay near The Wanderers, Johannesburg
The Wanderers is the biggest ground in the tournament and sits in Illovo, between Sandton and Rosebank, which is the most walkable corner of Johannesburg and the easiest to reach on the Gautrain. Sandton, Rosebank, Parktown North and Melville all put you within 15 minutes of the ground.
Stays within 25 km of the ground.

Where to stay near SuperSport Park, Centurion
Centurion sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria, with its own Gautrain station a short walk from the ground. That makes it the one venue you can comfortably base yourself in either city for, and the reason many touring parties stay put here for a run of matches.
Nearest stays within 60 km of the ground.

Where to stay near Newlands, Cape Town
Newlands sits under the back of Table Mountain in the southern suburbs, and it is the ground most visiting supporters want to see. Claremont, Rondebosch and Kenilworth are all within walking or short-taxi distance, and the Atlantic seaboard and the City Bowl are 20 minutes away when there is no match on.
Stays within 25 km of the ground.

Where to stay near Boland Park, Paarl
Boland Park is in the Cape Winelands, an hour from Cape Town, and it is the most pleasant place in the tournament to spend a week. Paarl, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Wellington are all within half an hour of the ground, and the wine estates are the reason to stay out here rather than commute from the city.
Stays within 30 km of the ground.

Where to stay near Kingsmead, Durban
Kingsmead is a few hundred metres from the beachfront, which is unusual for a Test ground and very good news if you are travelling with family. The promenade is walkable, Umhlanga and Ballito are 20 to 40 minutes north, and the Drakensberg and the game reserves of Zululand are both within a morning of the city.
Nearest stays within 60 km of the ground.

South Africa
Where to stay near St George's Park, Gqeberha
St George's Park is South Africa's oldest Test ground, sitting in the middle of the city inside its namesake park, and the one with the brass band. Summerstrand puts you on the beach 10 minutes away, and Addo Elephant National Park is an hour inland, which makes this the easiest venue in the tournament to pair a match with a malaria-free safari.

Where to stay near Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein sits almost exactly halfway between Johannesburg and Cape Town. If you are driving between fixtures it is the natural overnight, and the eastern Free State and the Golden Gate Highlands are a comfortable detour.
South Africa
Where to stay near Buffalo Park, KuGompo City
Buffalo Park is close to the beachfront in KuGompo City, the Eastern Cape port long known as East London. It is the gateway to the Wild Coast, so it works well as the end of a coastal drive up from Gqeberha rather than as a flying visit.
Nearest stays within 150 km of the ground.

Zimbabwe
Where to stay near Harare Sports Club, Harare
Harare Sports Club is in the middle of the capital, and the ground has the reputation of being one of the most pleasant to watch cricket at anywhere, with shade trees on the grass banks. The northern suburbs are where most visitors stay.
Zimbabwe
Where to stay near Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo
Bulawayo is Zimbabwe's second city and the base for the Matobo Hills, which are under an hour south, and for Hwange National Park further west. For most visitors the cricket is one part of a Zimbabwe loop rather than the whole trip.
Namibia
Where to stay near Namibia Cricket Ground, Windhoek
Namibia's first purpose-built international ground, opened in Windhoek in October 2025. Windhoek is the base for anything in Namibia, and most visitors use it as the start or end of a self-drive rather than a stay in its own right. Sossusvlei and the Namib are a long day south, Etosha a long day north.
Cricket World Cup 2027 travel questions
When is the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027?
2 Oct to 21 Nov 2027, with 57 matches between 14 teams. The full schedule is on this page, and each venue page lists its own matches.
Which grounds are hosting the 2027 Cricket World Cup?
Twelve, confirmed by the ICC on 30 July 2026. South Africa: The Wanderers (Johannesburg), SuperSport Park (Centurion), Newlands (Cape Town), Boland Park (Paarl), Kingsmead (Durban), St George's Park (Gqeberha), Mangaung Oval (Bloemfontein), Buffalo Park (KuGompo City). Zimbabwe: Harare Sports Club (Harare), Queens Sports Club (Bulawayo), Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium (Victoria Falls). Namibia: Namibia Cricket Ground (Windhoek).
Where is the 2027 Cricket World Cup final?
The final is at The Wanderers, Johannesburg, on 21 Nov 2027. Rooms near the ground go first for final week, so book early.
Where can I find accommodation near the World Cup venues?
Each venue has its own guide on this page. Among the stays closest to the grounds: 58 on Hume for The Wanderers; Brooklyn Place Guesthouse for SuperSport Park; Newlands Guest House for Newlands; Vendôme Wine Estate for Boland Park; aha Gateway Hotel for Kingsmead; Forest Hall Guest House for St George's Park; Kwandwe Melton Manor for Buffalo Park; Shoestrings Backpackers for Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium.
Where should I stay in South Africa for the Cricket World Cup 2027?
Eight of the twelve grounds are in South Africa: The Wanderers in Johannesburg, SuperSport Park in Centurion, Newlands in Cape Town, Boland Park in Paarl, Kingsmead in Durban, St George's Park in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein, Buffalo Park in KuGompo City (East London). Base yourself in the city of the matches you want to see; each venue has its own guide to the areas and places to stay nearest the ground.
Are there hotels near the Cricket World Cup grounds?
Spekboom lists independent places to stay rather than chain hotels: guest houses, self-catering houses and cottages, lodges and farm stays. For a touring party or a family, a whole house for a week is often better value than several hotel rooms, especially in the smaller host cities.
When should I book accommodation?
As early as you can. Rooms close to the grounds are the first to go, and demand concentrates hard into the host cities once the schedule is known. Check each property's cancellation terms, which are set by the host and shown on every listing.
Can I combine matches with a safari?
Yes, and most visitors travelling this far do. Addo Elephant National Park is an hour from Gqeberha, the Zululand reserves are a morning from Durban, Hwange is reachable from both Bulawayo and Victoria Falls, and the Winelands sit right beside Boland Park. Rest days between matches are what make the trip.
Do you sell match tickets?
No. Tickets are sold by the ICC and its appointed partners. Spekboom lists places to stay, and every booking here supports a conservation or community cause chosen by the host.
Spekboom is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a partner of the International Cricket Council. Fixtures, venues and ticketing are published by the ICC. We list places to stay and do not sell match tickets.
