How does the accommodation service work?
Over our years in the industry, we have built relationships with local accommodation businesses across South Africa. When you need to house your workforce, we’ll provide suitable accommodation options in the requested area, which meet your specific needs.
We then negotiate the best possible price with the local vendors up-front and provide you with a quote. Once this quote has been approved, we settle all details with the vendor, including arrival times, check-in details, etc and invoice you monthly in arrears.
Once your workforce arrives, we will manage any on-site queries and ensure that your workforce enjoys their stay.

How do we find the right accommodation?
We source local accommodation regularly and allow local vendors to apply as service providers. Once we have identified a vendor, we physically visit every local business and vet them to ensure their accommodation adheres to minimum standards of safety and security.
We then categorise each vendor based on their service offerings (like basic, standard options, or more executive-level options) and facilities (like a shower instead of a bathtub, single rooms, sharing rooms, etc).
