Hospitality management company, CURIOCITY Africa, has welcomed two new properties into its portfolio in Blouberg, Western Cape.
CURIOCITY will now operate SALT, a five-star, eight-bedroom boutique guest house, and an adjacent property, SaltyCrax Backpackers, a five-star backpackers’ hostel.
"We're evolving for both the well-heeled and barefoot traveller. Our expansion into new venues as management partners means we can add our authentic flavour into all elements of operations, partnerships, collaborations, marketing and management,” says Bheki Dube, Founder of CURIOCITY Africa.
He notes that independent property owners look for synergy when partnering with hotel management companies, and having aligned values is critical to operational growth, refinement and revenue.
"This partnership with CURIOCITY provides for good stewardship, early identification of changing trends, innovation and expertise that will lead to market leadership. We’re excited about the passion Bheki and his team will bring to this project," comments SALT and SaltyCrax Property Owner, Carla Ferreira.
The CURIOCITY Africa model is positioned as a sophisticated hybrid hotel offering backpacker and hostel-style ‘dorms’, luxury private rooms, wellness-retreat-style getaways, urban penthouses and stylish boutique guesthouse accommodation in South Africa.
