Celebrating
Community Spirit and Success!
Jozini Tiger Lodge & Spa, on the banks of the glorious Lake Jozini
in northern Zululand, has good reason to celebrate. They were recently awarded
“CONTINENT WINNERS – LUXURY HOTEL AND CONFERENCE CENTRE” at the World Luxury
Hotel Awards, held in Hong Kong on 24th October 2015.
The World Luxury Hotel and Spa Awards are recognised as the pinnacle of
achievement for Luxury Hotels & Spas worldwide.
These Awards are a celebration of ultimate achievement in service excellence, and acknowledge hotels and spas that have excelled beyond the normal call of duty.
These Awards are a celebration of ultimate achievement in service excellence, and acknowledge hotels and spas that have excelled beyond the normal call of duty.
Awards are presented to luxury hotels in different categories on a
country, continent and global basis. Voting is cast by hotel guests, and based
on facilities and service excellence.
“Jozini Tiger Lodge & Spa is no longer just a hotel on the banks of Lake
Jozini,” announced Cobus Brecher, Managing Director, “It has become a serious
contender and competitor within the luxury hotel market.”
They certainly deserve to be proud. A mere 5 years ago, in March 2010,
the new built Jozini Tiger Lodge & Spa opened its doors. This was a dream project
developed by local entrepreneurs Cobus Brecher and Albert Lourens. Their vision
included involving the National Empowerment Fund (NEF) to finance the
community’s share.
80% of the staff were from the local community, having never worked in
the hotel industry. They have since had the pleasure of witnessing the hotel successfully
evolve. Jozini Tiger Lodge and Spa is reputed for its exceptional service and
friendly staff. Without their enormous contribution this award would not have
been possible. The staff complement has expanded over the past five years as
occupancies grew beyond expectation. Equally rewarding has been the transformation,
growth and eventual promotion of some of the original staff into management
positions.
The hotel also forms part of the AHA portfolio who look after the Sales
and Marketing of the property. Occupancy levels are in excess of 76% with groups
and conferencing markets forming a major contribution.
The Jozini Tiger Estate, adjacent to the Jozini
Tiger Lodge, will be launched imminently. The Estate offers the only freehold
sites and sectional title apartments overlooking the dam. A variety of home
design options are available. Spectacular views, abundant leisure facilities, a
rich diversity of wildlife and tourism opportunities provide an exclusive
estate experience www.jozinitigerestate.co.za
The view of the dam, the surroundings, the décor and the facilities
makes the four star Jozini Tiger Lodge & Spa an ideal venue for special
events and weddings or simply a break away from city life. For those wishing to
chill, the pool and spa facility is just the place to be. Lake Jozini, often referred
to as South Africa’s Lake Kariba, is home to the southernmost population of
Tiger fish in Africa and fishing for this elusive but ferocious predator draws
fishermen from far!
Jozini Tiger Lodge was alongside Amakhosi Safari Lodge, also from
northern Zululand, and among the 200 winners in over 50 categories who were
applauded at the gala dinner at the exclusive Harbour Grand Hotel in Hong
Kong. This surely warrants the
#makingzululandproud!
