Premier Hotels & Resorts – one of South Africa’s fastest growing, independently owned hospitality brands – is leading the charge towards summer 2020 in the SA hospitality industry.

The company recently acquired the Faircity Hotel Group, which consists of three and four-star hotels, as well as serviced apartments in Johannesburg and Pretoria. The Group has also introduced their Premier Kids Club to ensure that parents can relax and take an hour or two off when on holiday with the family.

Premier Kids Club launched for summer and festive season

Premier Kids Club caters for young guests up to the age of 12, staying over at a specific selection of Premier Resorts. The Premier Kids’ Club was launched for the summer months and festive season at all Premier Resorts with the goal of keeping kids stimulated and entertained throughout their stay. On arrival at a Premier Resort, kids are checked in at the Premier Kids’ Club welcome desk and receive a special goody bag with treats to enjoy. The kids club entertainment team and ambassadors are on hand to facilitate daily events and activities, ensuring Premier’s young guests are well taken care of at all times. Standard activities are available at all resorts and may include kiddies’ talent shows, kids’ Olympic games, treasure hunts, pool games, marshmallow toasting – the list is endless with amazing entertainment and fun.

Premier Buddies at the Beach

Located in Knysna, one of SA’s favourite Coastal Towns, Premier Resort The Moorings’ was recently upgraded and now includes an extra 20 new bedrooms, an Italian bistro, a rim-flow swimming pool with stunning views of Thesen Island and the Knysna Heads, a multipurpose entertainment area with a private whiskey and wine cellar for tastings and functions, a spa, gym and an outdoor Jacuzzi.

The Moorings is perfectly positioned on the banks of the Knysna Lagoon. Activities include water sports, tubing and rowing (by arrangement) in the lagoon. The Moorings’ play area, which is themed Titanic 2, has a swing boat and pony rockers, while the forest gardens are home to some indigenous tree species estimated to be over 100 years old. With these age-old trees comes birdwatching at its best with a visit from the resident pair of Eagle Owls or the Knysna Loerie, to name but a few.

Berg Buddies

The popular Premier Resort Sani Pass in the Southern Drakensberg also underwent an upgrade and remodelling programme involving room upgrades, the introduction of a new multipurpose entertainment area, heated indoor swimming pool with new changing rooms, an outdoor pool and a much-improved kids club area, complete with a mini soccer field.

These, coupled with the easy road, spectacular Drakensberg setting, and their ‘Berg’ Buddies programme, make this a must-visit experience for the whole family. For all guests at the resort, the kids club entertainment team and ambassadors are on hand to facilitate daily events and activities – ensuring Premier’s young guests are well taken care of at all times throughout the year, especially weekends and public holidays. ‘Berg’ Buddies at Premier Resort Sani Pass get to experience trail walks and hikes, putt-putt, fly fishing, horse and pony rides, tractor rides, and exciting adventure walks to the waterfall on the property.

Bush Buddies

Home to an array of wildlife, including elephant, white lion and giraffe, Premier Resort Mpongo Private Game Reserve’s enhancements outside East London, include newly refurbished rooms and two more luxury lodges, and a games room for the younger guests in the main resort rooms. Not to mention their outstanding Bush Buddies programme, making the resort as attractive to the under 12’s as to the over 18’s, which is launching in October 2019. ‘Bush’ Buddies at Premier Resort Mpongo Private Game Reserve focuses on activities inspired by the Reserve’s conservation goals. Wildlife, survival bush tactics, basic scout training and game drives allow kids to get up close to giraffe, elephant, lion and buffalo – the young ‘Bush’ Buddies get to experience and learn all about nature and the environment.

Premier Hotels and Resorts have also introduced new Weekend Getaway packages as well as Summer Holiday offers to ensure all holiday needs are met.
