C2. Community
All permanent and temp staff are locals. Housing and housing finance are provided. Workers are bussed from and to their homes daily. On-the-job training is provided in different areas as required. A training and development policy is followed to promote individual learning and uplifting. This was highlighted by the general manager. A philosophy to be proud of! Well done!

C3. Customer
Firewood is provided, sourced from the alien cleaning projects. Outside braais and Jacuzzis are installed on most stoeps. This alleviates loadshedding. Authentic experiences are promoted:  silence, spectacular vistas, veld walks, river pool, wild animal and bird watching, cycling, and canoeing. There is a clear induction and written procedure, including emergency telephone numbers, which are communicated on arrival. An info file is available in the rooms.

The covid lockdown gave the business a financial knock and recently some serious damages were done by this year’s winter floods of the Grootrivier. Roads, parking and picnic sites were seriously damaged. Competent financial planning is in place. Sound management of money matters is obvious.
