It is unbelievable that we are only a few weeks away from 2023! Where did the time go? Looking back, we’ve shaped so many incredible memories of seaside escapes, summer vibes and happy family moments. The Uvongo Team has tirelessly worked on creating these unforgettable seaside memories, throughout 2022, for our valued Shareholders and guests.

 

2022 has been a wonderful year for us, here at Uvongo River Resort and, with the holiday season upon us and the last page of the calendar showing, we realised that we were due for a roundup. With that being said, please take a moment to read all about our favourite moments from the past six months.

Take a look at how the Uvongo Team has been making your home-away-from-home even more special and safe for you:

 
Interior

Patio cushions have been replaced for a bright and fresh look.

 
gardens

Lamp shades have been replaced to create brighter light in bedrooms.

The mini-golf course received a facelift and now sports a fresh coat of paint and new turf.

No matter how big or small, every moment and achievement is worthy of recognition and celebration. Here’s the latest of our moments that were worth celebrating:

Mothers Day
 

Women’s Day

The Uvongo Team decided to get sentimental with our female guests this Women’s Day. We had green gift boxes tied with a sweet note for the ladies, as a way to remind them to love themselves, because they are beautiful and perfect in their own way.

Mothers Day
 

Heritage Day

With our rich and diverse South African culture, it is no surprise that Heritage day is a favourite among our multicultural Uvongo Family. This year, our Housekeeping ladies dressed to impress with their beautiful cultural regalia, and they were all certainly pleased to have represented their respective backgrounds.

Mothers Day
 

Boerie and Beer Days

We hosted Boerie and Beer Days during the first two weeks of October to treat guests arriving at the Resort, and they were a big hit! Each guest arriving at the Resort was served a boerewors roll and a refreshing cold drink or beer for the journey they had travelled to visit us. Everyone from our Team helped and our guests truly appreciated the warm welcome.

Appreciating Our Hard-Working Team

There is a quote by William Arthur Ward that says, “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” With these words in mind, we strive to show our dedicated Team how much we value them. Joyce was our star Housekeeper for the month of October and, to express our appreciation for the hard work she puts in to ensure that the Units are spic and span for our guests, we treated her to a finger-licking meal from KFC.

A Page from Your

At Uvongo River Resort, we believe that people will forget what you say to them but they will never forget how you make them feel. It is this very idea that motivates us to continue to create an environment where our guests are able to experience the greatest joy and make everlasting memories, and it is truly heart-warming that we are delivering on those intentions. This is what our guests recently had to share about their time with us:

 

“Uvongo River Resort was our venue of choice for my friend’s 60th birthday celebrations. We had a 3 bedroom, air-conditioned (8 sleeper unit) with 2 bedrooms with 2 single beds each, and a double bed in the main bedroom with an en suite. The unit itself had a verandah with a braai area and an additional verandah next to bedroom 2. The main bedroom had beautiful views of the Uvongo river and falls. Parking was in abundance as we had visitors to the party not having to park outside the Resort; truly a plus for us. The unit was properly cleaned on Saturday before the party. Had a great occasion and enjoyed the moments with my friend and his relatives! Enjoyed our stay and left early on Monday for Gauteng. I would personally recommend Uvongo River Resort to others and hope that they, too, find this place comfortable and relaxing. Until next time, cheers!” - Rajend Sookdeo

 

“This place was amazing; we absolutely loved our stay here. Friendly and helpful staff, amazing service - this is the place to go!”
- Louise K
