Considering that budget is no more $100/night for two with all taxes and fees, I'd assume that public rest camps are the only options.

Term 'safe' was used not to the traffic situation and road trip itself - after driving in Indonesia and Malaysia I do not think South Africa is any more dangerous, however, if one wants to train him/herself on pothole avoidance course, R535/R533/R536 are definitely recommended places to go - but rather to crime situation at stop areas.
