QUARTERS HOTELS
In 1999, Durban businessman and entrepreneur, Robert Maingard had an inspiration to convert four Victorian homes on Durban's Florida Road in the suburb of Morningside, into a luxury boutique hotel. Since opening its doors in 1997, Quarters on Florida has become the hotel of choice for many discerning guests who regularly return.
In 2008 an ideal property became available on Avondale Road, a short (walking) distance from the original Quarters and the decision was taken to convert the property into "Quarters on Avondale". Again meticulous restoration was to its original Edwardian architecture. All the luxury and outstanding service
synonymous with the Quarters Brand is apparent in Quarters on Avondale.
The latest addition to the Quarters Brand is Quarters Hermanus. Unlike its Florida and Avondale Road counterparts, Quarters Hermanus is a new construction and in true Quarters tradition, the finishes and decor are of the highest standard. Quarters Hermanus is sure to be the hotel of choice for those visiting Hermanus.
SIGNATURE SAFARIS
Signature Hotels has started to rethink the game lodge experience by creating and offering a resort experience in a wildlife context and conservancy for the new age safari traveler. Jozini Tiger lodge is situated along the banks of the picturesque Jozini dam of KwaZulu-Natal. Jozini Tiger Lodge is an exciting
holiday destination which offers a perfect luxury getaway in the heart of nature.
The hotel is incredibly positioned overlooking the Jozini Dam and is easily accessible from both Durban and Gauteng. The hotel itself boasts superb facilities and there is no other property developed or under development in South Africa that can match its spectacular positioning, size and facilities. The focused roll out in this under developed area will continue with the launch of the Jozini Tiger Estate.
