Sales and Marketing: 

​

This starts with how we present lodges on our website, via social media and to the travel trade through to reservations and finally during the stay itself. By increasing digital presence we create awareness and form a community with past and future guests.

​

Hospitality:

Whilst keeping the feel and character of each individual property, guests are assured that their welcome is genuinely friendly. The quality of the amenities and linen put a smile on even the most discerning traveller’s face. The food, from morning coffee till turndown surprises, is all freshly prepared, beautifully presented and very welcoming. Activities, where on offer, are conducted by inspired guides who are not only trained in sharing facts in an engaging and enriching way, but also in making each guest’s experience memorable

​

Management:

​

We achieve this through hiring talented managers, ongoing training, rigorous and measurable quality control and creating a culture of service excellence. We install systems and procedures that reduce wastage, measure consumption, control stocks and manage staff. We provide meaningful and detailed monthly reporting which allows us and the owner to monitor progress and take corrective action when required.

Each lodge is assign a dedicated manager that will oversee all aspects of the lodge and it's current staff. Our management works with current staff and does regular training to improve service and cleaning.
