"The cast and crew are very excited about this season. Bennie Fourie, writer and producer of Hotel, makes sure that every season is even better than the last," says kykNET.
Bennie Fourie says "The writing doesn’t get easier, but the fun multiplies. Viewers can look forward to more hilarious entertainment and pure comedy as well as silly shenanigans from the Fransenburgers. It’s still a privilege to film yet another season at the Fransen home, Kleinkaap Boutique Hotel in Centurion".
