Fond Farewells & Fresh New Looks - Rare Earth Retreats

 
 

THE END OF AN ERA - Cape View Clifton

It’s the end of an era as we and the team at Rare Earth Retreats bid farewell to our last guests and our favourite Cape Town boutique property , The Cape View Clifton. During the pandemic, more so than ever, many have been looking to domestic travel and reviewing their quality of life and it was one such visitor who simply couldn’t resist the incredible views from every room, perfect location and so, Cape View Clifton begins it’s new life as a private residence for one lucky owner. We did ask if they wanted to adopt the team @ Planet Promoters and unsurprisingly are still waiting for a reply !

All partners and future bookings have been notified & will be warmly accommodated at some of Cape Town’s leading properties. Our heartfelt thanks to the CVC team who delivered a personal and warm welcome to each and everyone of our guests over the past years, ensuring many returned time and time again.

But…… as the old adage goes, when one door closes another opens and we will have more news on that for you shortly.


NEWS FROM NORTHERN KRUGER - Upgrades at The Outpost

Meanwhile, the Rare Earth Retreats team at our remaining properties are working hard on developments, upgrades and doing what they do best. The Outpost, Pafuri, Northern Kruger has begun a refurbishment and upgrade programme, in between welcoming guests.

Walkways and new decks have been installed, upgrades to the guest ‘spaces’ are scheduled and as soon as we have images, we will let you know, but from what we have seen, this very special wilderness lodge is going to welcoming back very happy International visitors soon.

Those that are able to visit the lodge were treated this weekend to one of the team’s favourite surprise bush dinner locations in the shadow of one of our ancient Baobab trees….
