George Lodge International News

28 04 2010

Dear Customer,

 It has been six months since our last newsletter and the world cup 2010 is almost on our doorstep. Unfortunately as all things in life prices do escalate and we also had a rate increase in January but we feel we have added value to our rooms and facilities to justify this increase and give the client the benefit thereof.

In preparation of the world-renowned event in June 2010 namely the Soccer world cup, we have up to our game and herewith want to share all our renovations and additions done to the George Lodge International with you.

News at the George Lodge:

  • Wifi connectivity in all areas of the lodge – complimentary usage – get your username and password from our receptionist
  • 74 cm slim fit TV’s in all the rooms with 11 channels to choose from – from movie magic to sport.
  • Hairdryers in each room
  • Our own shuttle service
  • Complimentary bottle of mineral water

 ROOMS

 Our 22 en-suite rooms have been individually redecorated for individual style, comfort and relaxation yet still appropriate for the business traveller, who wants to work in his room. The renovations included linen, curtains, and headboards for the beds, new furniture, hairdryers and also new carpets. For a more individual approach to our client’s needs we have a variety of bed settings to choose from i.e.: single, double, and family as well as a choice of three self-catering rooms.  With a choice of either a room with a bath or shower, we make sure that we accommodate all individual preferences.

George Lodge International conference venue has taken its time in the changes it has undergone but as they say all things come to those who wait and wow what a wait it has been but well worth it as well.

 Our tiled floor has been replaced with carpets; our silver steel tables have been changed with a more modern dark wood table with extra length on them.

Our walls have received a new coat of paint and our old door has been replaced with a new one. Its like opening a new door to life, well to intense training.

 Since our new conference room has been done it has been filled with conferences and new people and we have only had good reviews.

 Not going to carry on about our venue ill just show you some of the new pictures of our venue because a picture can speak a thousand words so I hope you like our new image in our venue.
